Once a separate people under Duke
Certe, the
Certek are now a secret group within the army after being pressganged by Duke
Bo. While they appear to have assimulated into the
Bok, they still retain their growing hatred for the other orcs. They're not a culture so much as a crypto organization becoming more organized as they rally to undermine their oppressors.

Preferred Loadout
The Certek have adopted
Bok dress and military customs as a way of blending in so prefer medium armor and shields, particularly the tower shield. This is usually paired with a slashing weapons with piercing weapons basically unheard of: it is associated with humans and their underhanded dealings.
Guns are uncommon among the rank and file due to blackpowder running short so many of the Bok have adopted the longbow as their ranged weapon of choice.
The Certek have also retained using linen and cottons for their trademark long coats since the area around the Middle Sea tends to be warmer so buckskin is less needed. These coats, however, at usually worn open, with the lower layers of cotton garments exposed. Even though each has a bright color, the overall effect is eye-catching and patterns have also been widely adopted for both inner and outer layers.
