Ullek Hambone is a very strong and diligent character, likes a good fight. Ullek comes from The Blackmoor Hills, his father was a Half-Ogre warrior, with some good tendencies, and his mother was human who had skills in plant lore and alchemy...
Ulleks father saved his mom from some goblins who had attacked a caravan days before and where bringing her to the local chief for his pleasure.
Ullek’s dad Uggut Bonesaw came upon the war band as they were making there way back home...the fight that was to follow was epic, from a goblins point of view 30 to 1 odds...( Not bad odds for an Half-Ogre ) I would say Uggut was an experience elite warrior, After he killed the goblins...he looted the campsite.
As he was making his way out of the campsite, he heard crying coming from a sack, when he opened it he found a very attractive looking human woman.
It is very hard for a human woman to live with orcs, fights all the time to see who would get the human, with time Uggut came to like her, many were the orcs he killed, but he knew it could not last.
He was expelled from the tribe with his human for his (un ogre) tendencies. It was not an easy life for the two, but Uggut was a great hunter and protector, Merriam was skilled in running the house and flocks...She was the brains of the operation...and with time they prospered.... house and big farm.... they provided goods for others who lived around and were not doing so good....In time folks just accepted them. Merriam & Uggut had one son, Ullek whom had both parent’s skills and wits....
When Ullek was 15 his father was killed while helping others fight orc & goblin raiders.... They say Uggut was a giant among his enemies, cleaving away, with no regard for him self; he was wounded many times over, but never faltered until all his enemies were killed.... The strangest thing was his battle cries to the God Tempus, very strange for an Ogre to worship such a god.
Save he did, the folks in that far off village...the other men who lived thru the battle carried his corpse back home, with one carrying his great shield and another The massive Halberd "Scargasste" which in ogre means ( Doom Bringer )
Merriam was told about the battle from those who had survived and how he succumbed from the many wounds.....and that they would erect a memorial in his honor at the village square for all to see and remember his courage and valor.
When Ullek came home that night he found his mother crying by his father’s bed, and his dad covered in a leather canvas with his hands crossed.... Ullek was told about what happened and how his dad died fighting the orc and goblin raiders.
Ullek helped Merriam wash and prepare his fathers body for the sending to Tempus, when all was ready Ullek lit the fires for the sending. After some time his mom went back into the house, but Ullek stayed by Ugguts side until just ashes remained, but vengeance would come in time.
Two years pass from that date, Ullek’s mom died from an infection later that year... Ullek buried his mother next to where he buried Ugguts ashes.
Ullek decided to sell all his parents holdings, to the locals, he pick up his fathers gear and mothers charms, potions and proceeded to make his destiny...
In time he avenged his father & mother for all there sufferings......
And now after many years it has come to him that he has a half brother, from his mother’s side, a Cavalier knight to boot too.
Who goes by the name, what was the name that farmer said at the tavern.....
Yes. now I remember, Joanna’s McRae was the name he gave along with gold to spread the message, funny I never knew I had a half human brother, boy my mom and dad sure kept there secrets.
Well I must try to find him if I can, maybe he can fill in all that is missing from my mom's earlier life........for he is my only kin........But first I must try and find my fathers weapon, from that human thief.......
