Uruk Brightsmile
Appearance
For over a decade Uruk has traveled the winding roads of Aerethil and depended on his strength to obtain employment. As a result, Uruk is of large stature with thick legs and broad shoulders. His skin is a dusty brown and often dirty from traveling. The sides of his head are shaved with a remaining patch of hair forming a low mohawk at the top. Thick streaks of hair run along Uruk's jawline and convene at his chin where a short, braided, beard hangs.
Uruk's armor is a combination of various pieces. Most of his armor is second-hand that has either been acquired through trade or looted from previous owners who no longer need it. Uruk's primary weapon is his broad-bladed short sword kept on his waist. Accompanying his trusty blade is a shield wrought of dark metal that is typically slung across his back when not being used. Orcish trinkets adorn his body and faded war-paint is often covering the middle-third of his face. Around his neck a leather pouch
Uruk's most striking feature is the grisly scar along the left-side of his face. As the result of a slashing wound his front-most teeth and tusk are exposed. The scar is a reminder of his youth and has earned him the name Brightsmile from his comrades- a jeer that he has now adopted as his.

Skills and Abilities
"Stick 'em with the point end,"- Uruk favors his sword and shield, but he's had experience with other basic weapons over the years.
"Hah, you think I'd risk getting another shank'd for that price?"- Years of traveling the roads with merchants and caravans has left an impression on Uruk. He has seen the honey-tongued swindlers and the flashy merchants take advantage of unsuspecting customers. As a result he is slightly more aggressive when it comes to negotiating. Uruk's time traveling has also taught him how to navigate the roads with maps and heavenly bodies.
"Double or nothing then, c'mon!"- Is gambling a skill? Uruk is a fiend for a game of dice, tiles, or a hand of Toads'n'Thrones- especially if there's a wager involved. He even carries his lucky set of bone dice! Usually he'll use this time gambling to pick up rumors or possible employment opportunities.
Personality
It is commonplace to find travelers from various corners of Arethil when growing up in a bustling stronghold like Bhathairk. These foreigners formed the foundation for Uruk's curiosity. Despite his grisly appearance Uruk tries to remain approachable. He is pragmatic and tries to keep a level head, though at times he can be curt.
