Algernom was born to an Orcish clan of little note. Slightly smaller than the others of his age, he was clubbed repeatedly in the head during training.
 
Wizards found him, and he underwent a procedure to see if even this Orcish brute could be made civilized.
 
He now must always wear his diadem, or else he renters the Orcish rage of his youth. While wearing it though, he appreciates fine dining, the opera, silk sheets, a nice sherry by the fire, and abusing Blimley.
