Othrod gro-Balcmeg.
An old orc looking for a good death. A veteran of the Imperial Army, actually fought at the Battle of Red Ring with General Decianus. After the war he turned in his armor and roamed Cyrodiil, helping citizens and killing Thalmor whenever he could do so without getting caught. After living with no focus for 20+ years and having little to show for it save a few new scars and aches in various joints, his faith in the Empire, Malacath and himself has dwindled to nothing. It was at this point, in the lovely city of Bruma, that a Thalmor Justiciar hurled insults at the wrong Orc in a bar and got a dagger jammed through his eye for it. Othrod escaped the guards and escaped north into the mountains, where he met a group of bandits. He joined them and participated in several raids into Skyrim. One raid, his last, his crew stumbled into an Imperial ambush and was nearly killed to the last man. Othrod awoke with a horrible headache, tied up in a wagon, staring at a man who was obviously a soldier like he was years ago, a thief, and a strange man with his mouth gagged shut...
