Character Details
The other orcs of the Broken Tusk clan called him soft. They weren't wrong. Urd liked things that grew — crops, lambs, the wild herbs that crept along the stone walls of his farmstead. He left the clan at sixteen, not in anger but in quiet disagreement, and spent twelve years building a life that had nothing to do with blood. The farm was small but honest. The sheep knew his voice. The neighbors stopped being afraid of him after the third season. Then the Blackfang raiders came. They weren't orcs — they were humans, ironically. They burned the barn, killed the flock, and left Urd for dead in the ashes. He wasn't dead. He was awake. For the first time since childhood, the rage came, and it was like breathing after holding your breath for twelve years. Urd doesn't enjoy what he's become. But he's very, very good at it.
"I speak softly and carry an enormous greataxe. People find this unsettling."
"Sincerity. There's no good in pretending to be something you're not."
"I will rebuild what was taken from me, even if I have to tear down everything in my way first."
"Once the rage takes hold, I struggle to tell friend from foe."

Massive even by orc standards, with farmer's hands and a warrior's scars. He moves carefully, as if afraid of breaking things. The burn scars tell a story he doesn't like to repeat.
