Gromat N'Daego
Gromat N' Daego is a half orc ranger with a fascination with fauna and flora. Having many interactions with other races via trading he learned from their stories and books about lands outside his home. Now travels in to amass knowledge in order to make books of his own.
Appearance
Gromat is a tall, chubby looking half orc with his head shaved bald wearing studded leather armor. Slung over his back lies a large bag pack and a bow and Wok (pot) while on his hip lies a very sharp butcher's cleaver. He walks with a staff in hand often using it like a walking stick.
Skills and Abilities
Stealth: Gromat, despite being a large and heavy person, can be surprisingly quiet and dexterous. Given the right conditions even the large and heavy Gromat can even sneak up on a guard at his post.
Expert Tracker: Being at home in the wilderness, Gromat can find the telltale signs from local creatures and plants to stay out of their way and more importantly... out of danger. He can also use such signs to keep watch safely from afar to study them and more.
Scribe/Artist: Gromat can read and write and has detailed notes on local ecology complete with pictures sketched upon paper. He has an interest in rune magic as he thinks it looks beautiful, but hasn't found a way to learn more on it.
Monastic Disciple: Though brief, Gromat had learned basic unarmed combat techniques and staff training from a traveling elf. The old elf, though frail, was able to outpace, outmatch and floor Gromat many times over. He practices every day in hopes that he could get half as good as the elf one day.

Personality
Gromat has a thirst for life, a curiosity of the unknown and a heavy respect for everyone... especially his enemies and those wiser and stronger than himself. He is always quick to share something he's recently learned or thinks is interesting. Will become guarded when in large groups of unknown people yet treats all monsters and animals as potential friends. Has a soft spot for misunderstood animals.
Biography & Lore
Gromat was a half orc born in an orcish stronghold north of the Ixchel Wilds. Though not pure orc he grew up treated well although not as well as his stronger pure-blooded kin. While he shared their respect of nature, he didn't adopt their worship of it or their anthropomorphic gods and this didn't help his situation in gaining his kin's respect. His somewhat diminished orcish features did however did make interacting with traders and travelers easier!
From an early age Gromat would trade for stories and books from all who came to his stronghold. Because of this he learned to read and write the common tongue, knowledge on lands far away from his own and a basic idea of magic disciplines. He has become somewhat more worldly than his kin which stoked the fires of wanderlust within him to go out and experience the things he's heard about. He seeks to write a book which would be a bestiary/guidebook of sorts meant to instruct people on how to stay safe when traveling through specific areas.
