Personal history
The past of the ranger with no name is known to almost none. He was raised by a cult of Tzimin Kul followers has one of their women gave birth to a bastard child from one of the males they captured for sport. He lived and learned the art of stealthy killing by his tribe until he, his brother and a higher druid, were given a task to reach and get an alliance with a certain church to get revenge, as the local authorities sent a small army to dispatch the cultist predating on the civilians and traders around.
The mission went rather smoothly until one night, Sorin snapped after all the abuse, menace of death and undermining he had from his companions because of his lack of interest for killing 'weak' civilians and ways of doing (he prefered a more stealthuy approach to their senseless killings). He killed the druid while he was asleep, left fake proofs of his death hinting it could have been a nearby settlement, and backstabbed his brother in cold blood while he tried to burn the village to a crisp with magic, shocking everyone even the villagers in panic. he proceeded to decapitate his brother as a final farewell and left on his steed.
The word of his brother death and perpetrators made some survivors of his clan enraged and aiming to get revenge on him, but they all met their fate in death.
What kind of hero travels with a horse that all animals barks at as if they saw death itself, wears a skull facemask, in cladded in ebony colors and kills monsters in such gruesome ways? This guy isn't any hero, he's just in to revel in violence !Now, Sorin lives secluded in a well hidden cache in the Shiverwisp Woods , a very dangerous woods. He remains there solely for the sport of killing high dangers creatures to hone his skills. Because all of them are evil in nature, this gave him a false identity of hero.I mean... he does kill only the beasts , doesn't it ? Whatever works, no? Besides, maybe it's an adventurer that just like the gear of some antipaladin or some gothic fashionista loner ? It's not like everything adventurers kills looks nice and shiny on them. never saw someone claiming to kill a goblin den and come back looking like a member of the Order to the Fatal . Point taken, i guess...i dunno, it just... doesn't 'feel' right ? Like the guy never speaks or anything, as i heard. And he killed that werewolf with just a old sledgehammer and rusty nails. HE PIERCED THE BEAST EYES WITH NAILS AND MADE IT EAT SOME MORE ! And did you heard what the gravekeeper said ? The werewolf had traces some acid on it. This guy isn't a goodie two shoe. I'm sure if he wanted, we'd be a ghost town in 10 minutes max... Well, i prefer seeing results over debating on the process. Without him, we would have even more problems with the creatures of the night. He may not be some kind of inspiration we want for our kids, but he gets the job done. I'm rather glad we're not on his bad side.
Sexuality
Heterosexual
Education
Minimalistic. The ranger never actually went to any school or similar, having learned from his former tribe minimal education due to their ressources and needs. However, he is extremely versed in the art of killing, and is knowledgeable of many poisons and tactics to eliminate undiscriminately. This knowledge was brought to light by physician and morgue workers that noticed the bodies he left where showing signs of a very calculated and precise, while brutal, killer.
Mental Trauma
The constant undermining and menace of his brother and superiors was enough to break him to the point he killed him and stopped any contacts with his former tribe and connections he had related to it. He sometimes shares his toughts openly to the shrunken pygmy head of his brother he kept as a grim memento.
Morality & Philosophy
Sorin was and remains in some sense a devout follower of Tzimin Kul , an evil patron of the hunt. However, he always had the mentality that his god and followers would respect him more by hunting the most dangerous and powerful of preys, and thus was not interested in killing weak civilians when his cult and such where doing hunting parties. While he also killed strong followers of Good, he found more interesting foes in those trying to make ill in the world. This philosophy remains to him to his day, as he passes his time in one of the most dangerous forest in Arcamunda , in other to test his skill. He is also a overachiever and often gives himself challenges to kill foes, such as dispatching a werewolf without silver weaponry.

His trusty steed he received from the church of (deity) years ago. Which he paid a fair sum to cultists to bring it back as a revenant. He never uses it while in disguise.
