Philgar

Philgar was born in a city on the Dark Plains of Marquest to his Human mother. His father was slave and his mother Samanthalyn Wizinowsky was the daughter of a vile nobleman. When Philgar was born his grandfather was so enraged that he ordered his own baby grandson and daughter be executed. His mother the loving and compassionate woman that she was convinced her father otherwise by sacrificing herself for bringing dishonor to their family. Philgar was delivered to his father along with a scroll informing him of his loves sacrifice to save their son. When Philgar was 4 he and his father escaped their slavery and sought sanctuary in Tepths’ capital city of Atepthilar where they’ve lived since. Philgar’s childhood wasn’t the easiest, growing up a half-orc in a predominantly human city and country had its hardships but whatever they were it was better than growing up a slave. Many other children would tease and make fun of Philgar but he learned to brush it off at a young age. His father continued doing what he was best at after finding work as a blacksmith in Atepthilar with an established older human gentleman who was very impressed with his abilities with a hammer and forge. Philgar was offered a chance to get and education when he was old enough to attend the local school. This schooling didn’t last very long as the bullying of Philgar didn’t sit well with his father or himself. His father would keep him home and educated Philgar himself as he was quite intelligent for Orc. Philgar was taught all the basic skills reading, writing and mathematics as well as training with a forge and hammer. When Philgar reached the age of 12 his father traded work for Philgar to receive training in the arts of Fighter. Despite all the hardships Philgar faced growing up he grew into a fine specimen of a man; he was both physically powerful and smart enough to continue on what had become the family business. The one thing that surprised his father most was Philgar’s generous heart and how full of compassion he was. These were both traits of his mother a woman he had never met and yet Philgar personified them. It filled his father's heart with joy to see his son act so much like his mother and to know how proud their son she would be.
