Confused, frustrated half-orc looking to become a proper paladin of Igaluk. Raised by bears and I tend to get very angry.
Harun was born in a small orken hamlet, became friends with a better (bear) family and found my purpose in following Igaluk.

More hair than you'd expect any half-orc to have. There are claw marks over my body from rough play with my bear family. This includes a very visible bite mark from one of the elder bears.
Identifying Characteristics
A sizeable tattoo is present on the right shoulder. It represents the icon of Igaluk.
Apparel & Accessories
In or close to nature, Harun wears fur cloths covering most basic parts of his body.
In more civilized settings, he wears a cloak of Igaluk tied around his waist and walks around bare chested.
Mentality
Personal history
My father was a paladin and my mother was an orc. In one of the earlier peace negotiations my father was sent to an orken tribe to discuss peace. It's fair to say that those negotiations went a little bit better than intended. Or so my mother told me.
Skip a few years later, my father has broken his paladin oath to live with my mother.
How pathetic.
After a couple years of sinful living, he decided to repent for his misdeeds with the order Igaluk. I was about 2 years old when he left me and my mother.
I never forgave him for this, nor could I stand being in the home where he once lived. I decided to out into forest, deeper and deeper each time. Untill I found a family of bears. Over the weeks I kept running into them and found them strangely... empathetic towards my distressed feelings.
It wasn't much longer until I hung out with them quite often and they became my second, more real family.
A couple years later, I was about 14 at the time, it was a particularly stormy day; I decided to take refuge at the local shrine.
Of course, it was the shrine of that pig of a father. All this reminded me too much of him as I broke down in tears.
Expecting to end up alone, I somehow.. wasn't. A voice in the darkness reached out to me. What turned out to be one of the partisans of Igaluk, comforted me greatly in these distressed moments.
His voice filled me with a feeling I have never experienced before. A feeling of purpose and balance.
Returning to the forest quickly after the conversation ended, I decided to start training for what I wanted to become; the paladin my father should've been but wasn't.
I trained with the bears for the coming 4 years as they taught me their primal ways.
As soon as I felt ready to set out, I quickly visited my mother to tell her I would never return.
I headed for the order of Igaluk to begin my paladin training. However as soon as they've learned of my fathers name, their faces changed forever.
Even in his absence my father remains a terrible influence.
As I started training, no one would come or stay close to me. No one, except for one individual; a dwarf named Adren Torunn.
Adren was nice to me, treated me like the brother in faith I felt I should be treated as. Despite the sour looks from others, his smile would always shine my way.
However, despite this friend in the darkness, the friction between me and the order could not last. Another day of practicing later where I gave in to my primal rage and beat on paladin blue in practice, I loudly exclaimed that I did not need them and I would find my own way of praising and following Igaluk.
It was that day that I left the order and was banished from it ever since for not being like the other paladins.
Since then, I've set out to create my own way of proving my faith. I got this awesome tattoo representing Igaluk on my shoulder and aim to spread his word and beliefs wherever I go.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Followers of Igaluk - As an acolyte I can really fit in and talk well to followers of Igaluk. We see eye to eye, especially the more easy folk.
The paladin order of Igaluk - They don't like me, I don't like them. Simple as that.
Adren Torunn - Close friend of mine. Could drink like a fish. In my darker years in the paladin order he was the only friendly face I could turn to. I have not seen him since I've left the order of the paladins though.
Nyel - My mother. She couldn't understand I wasn't okay with my father leaving and could not comfort me. I don't like her for how she treated me. But the more I think about it, I kind of regret returning that favor by treating her badly as well.
Kovor Griv - My father. The only place I hope to meet him is in a grave.
