The Fluff:
Ursiah's life has long been tied to the natural world. He was found abandoned in the woods by the younger brother of Gurev Medvyed (the lord of the family). This younger brother, Orovis, and his wife had long been childless, which prompted the merciful man to adopt the half-orc babe. As time went on however, it became clear that Ursiah was something special indeed. His fingernails grew into black claws, he possessed an innate ability to commune with animals, and at times he could even take on the likeness of a bear! (A most auspicious nominal for the Medvyed family.) Realizing that his adopted son was gifted with the powers of a shifter, Orovis taught him the ways of the wild, both practical and magical.
Over the years, Ursiah became a regular fixture at his father's side, joining him in hunts from Stoneclimb on an almost daily basis. His knowledge, instincts, and abilities all proved invaluable for his family time and time again. Eventually he was invited by Lord Gurev to a celebratory feast as a guest of honor. However, this feast profoundly impacted Ursiah when he overheard a guest refer to him as "Orovis' favorite pet." In truth, while Uriah's father and uncle had wholly accepted him, other family members viewed him as at best a local curiosity, or at worst a wild animal that Orovis had barely "tamed." Heartbroken, Ursiah resolved to prove that he was truly worthy of the Medvyed name. With his father's reluctant blessing, the half-orc departed to join an expedition into the Stolen Lands, intent upon proving himself and bringing glory to House Medvyed.
