Valdram
Valdram, son of Tarrok, is a courageous and shrewd Orc hailing from a nomadic tribe in the Taagi Baara steppes. After chaos and ruin found his tribe in the form of death and destruction, Valdram vowed on his father's name that he will do whatever he must to restore his tribe to its former glory.
Appearance
Valdram is a tall and imposing Orc. A broad-shouldered hulking mass of muscle with mane-like jet-black hair and tanned olive skin. Underneath this barbaric appearance, however, one can find a calm and collected individual. One who moves with a warrior’s grace and looks upon the world with intelligent and curious eyes.
His orcish traits are further accentuated by his clothing; a simple kilt made from leather and hides.

Skills and Abilities
Having been taught by his father, the last shaman of their tribe, Valdram has received more education than most other orcs. He most frequently displays this by his mastery of the Common and Orcish languages, being able to speak both but only read and write the latter.
While Valdram is incapable of any outstanding or supernatural feats, his physicality is noteworthy. He is remarkably agile, and his reflexes are fast and abrupt. But it is truly the combination of his endurance, monstrous strength and fearless attitude that have carried him so far.
Like most orcs of his tribe, Valdram has the necessary skills and experience to survive in the Taagi Baara steppes. He knows how to treat his injuries, craft his tools, build, or find shelter and hunt for his food.
As it happens, these skills translate well to combat. Valdram favors both the bow and spear, since he was taught how to wield both from a young age. The spear later made place for an axe; the iconic weapon of choice wielded by many of his fellow orcs. Over time, Valdram has proven himself an excellent marksman and a warrior who does not shy away from the melee battle either.

Personality
Valdram is confident and gregarious and holds high moral standards. He values honesty, loyalty and being true to oneself above all else. At times, however, he is unable to tell right from wrong. This becomes apparent when he is forced to interact with humans. After the death of his father and near-destruction of his clan by the hands of humans, Valdram has shown nothing but mistrust and contempt for any individual of their race.
Another of his more notable traits is his courage. When he believes a cause is right and just, he has always and will always face any danger, fight any foe, and battle all he deems evil despite impossible odds or personal risk.
But Valdram is more than just courage and ideals. He is shrewd, perceptive and possesses nerves of steel. While most of his tribe are reckless and quick to dismiss others, Valdram is less so. The death of his father, a trusting pacifist, has taught him to be cautious and thoroughly think things through. Nevertheless, he remains an Orc of action.
