Personal history

Bak was once a member of a roving band of orcs who pillaged the land for years before finally being put down by the guards of Waterdeep. Bak roamed the land aimlessly for a while after that, making a living as a sellsword. One night, after a particularity violent battle Bak had a vision and upon waking, carved out his left eye and covered it with a black patch and obtained divine power from Gruumsh. Sometime later he met Nay who upon a show of strength convinced him to join him to form the initial members of the Black Star, named by a vision Nay says he had one night. One day they were hired to put down an insane Tabaxi who had been killing across the countryside, after a long battle with her, Bak decided she was worthy of respect and decided to add her to the group (Nay's condition was she be kept under a lock spell just in case).


Bak was killed by Mug during the battle at Secomber and revived a Tenday later by Aldy. Bak joined back up to help his friend Nay be released from his plight and for another chance to fight Mug, having developed a grudging respect for him after he defeated him. All he wants to get in fights with tough opponents and he found a worthy enemy in Mug.
