Slobad was born and raised in a small human settlement. His parents both human adopted him when he found him alone on the road. Slobad knew he was different. Even as a child he was bullied by other kids as he was half orc. He loved hearing stories from his father about adventurers. As he grow up, he became stronger and fierce, he helped around with physical work.
His parents saw that Slobad had potential to become something more, so they payed a former soldier to teach him how to fight and use the sword, maybe he could become a soldier some day. Slobad was excited with the idea and he trained everyday, but he didn't want to become a soldier but an adventurer just like his father stories. When he was of age, he departed from the small town and saying goodbye to his parent he went to become an adventurer.
To become an adventurer it was more easy to say than to do, so he started with small jobs, mostly the things he did in his small town until a chance presented as a mercenary bodyguarding some rich people.
One of his jobs led him to Krez Perlino, a gnome who controlled a lot of bars and had business with the black market. He worked for him as a personal body guard, the size of Slobad, the greatsword and his angry face behind Krez was a good combination keeping away bad company at his employer. He didn't liked it as he saw many terrible things but it was good coin.
As he was always with him, he usually heard business and things he didin't want to know, he didn't want to get in trouble. He just wanted to save some coin to begin his travels again.
When Krez was assassinated, Slobad was one of the first suspects as he knew most of Krez secrets and didn't liked what Krez used for business. So he got all of his money and ran away from there. Starting again his life as a mercenary by his own.
He is a simple half-orc, he is focused on his job and is not scared to explore and learn new things.
