Tulgan Egroth
Tulgan grew up idolising the knights that would come to buy war horses from his family's farm. He left one day to become a knight himself.
Appearance
Tulgan (or Tully to his friends) is hard to miss. The contrast between his green skin and his redish hair draws the eye to him immediately, and his height makes him even easier to pick out in a crowd. As a knight, he has developed a strong and sturdy body with strong limbs to match. His face has a rather sweet look to it (at least for an orc) which he covers up with well groomed facial hair.
Despite his gruff and at times aloof attitude, Tulgan takes great lengths to remain clean and well groomed, even indulging in fashion when the opportunity to do so arises.

Skills and Abilities
Knightly Skills
Horseback Riding: he started riding at a young age and is a good and capable rider, able to handle even the most stubborn of horses.
Sword and Shield: Although Tulgan is able to use other weapons, he is most comfortable fighting with a sword, or sword and shield. When he was a boy he was able to convince a few knights passing through his family farm to teach him some basics. He practised them endlessly. After joining the Knights of Anathaeum he continued to develop and hone his skills as a squire, and now as a knight.
Pursuits: Although not particularly magically inclined, Tulgan is good at working with animals and has been developing his skills in the field of medicine in the pursuit of life.
Medical Skills
Basic Magical Healing: Only capable of performing the most basic of spells, Tulgan can perform some healing magic in a pinch. If you have anything worse than a scraped knee or a mild burn, you'll want to talk to someone else if you need it healed immediately.
Apothecary: What he lacks in magical skill, he makes up for with knowledge of more mundane medicines. He'll be able to concoct something for what ails you… presuming he has access to the ingredients.
Wound Care: He's able to clean up and bandage wounds, giving them a great chance at a smooth recovery. He knows how to suture up larger injuries as well, although there's no guarantee it won't leave a nasty scar.
General Skills
Animal Handling: Having grown up on a farm with lots of livestock, Tulgan is very good with animals and is not afraid of hard (or gross) work.
Domestic Skills: While he is certainly not an amazing cook, he is more than capable of feeding himself. Where he really shines however is in laundering. If you need a stain out, he's your man.
Navigation: Tulgan was taught how to navigate by his mother, and has a naturally good sense of direction.
