Personal history

Fink was rasied in an Orc tribe at the base of the eastern mountain range in the Eld. For most of his life he was trained to be in the raiding party and was pretty good at it. He got good at using a sword and shield and was one of the best fighters in the tribe.
 
On one raiding trip the party was a tower in the woods and decidied to plunder it, only to find a powerful human wizard in the tower. The wizard, Galvyn, easily fought back the party but found Fink useful, so he captured him and came to an agreement that Fink would be the wizard's assistant if the wizard gifted him intelligence. The deal was struck and for a couple of years Fink took the name Cornelius and helped out the wizard with his new found Intelligence from a circlet.
 
During this time the Galvyn and Cornelius ventured to many dungeons seeking treasure and knowledge. Galvyn found a xscroll written by Githyanki monks which he gave to Cornelius who unlocked psychic powers
 
One day however, Galvyn was working on a portal to lead to the Astral Sea so the pair could speak with the Githyanki. The experiement went wrong and Galvyn was split apart and teleported across the planes. Cornelius was distraught with no master or friend and went adventuring out to find an answer to either where Galvyn was, or how he could be him back.
 
While in Moorcrest, Cornelius heard about the Drumshade Adventuring Soceity and thought it would give him purpose and maybe either set him up with the resources to find Galvyn or find someone who could help.

Education

In his ORc tribe he was taught how to hunt, fight and speak Orcish, there was less education and more learning through experience. He was never taught numbers, etiquette or critcal thinking.
 
When he met Galvyn and was given the circlet it all changed. For most of his teens and twenties he learned all he could from dawn til dusk and received a wellrounded education from Galvyn and his books.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Besides unlocking psychic powers, Cornelius has delved many dungeons and even gone to other planes with Galvyn. He was never in contact with civilized places but managed to blend his martial prowess with his telekentic powers.

Failures & Embarrassments

Cornelius left his tribe and has never returned back. He felt as if the tribe would think he was a traitor, allying with this wizard that attacked his friends. He left behind his family, a woman he planned to marry and his friends.

Mental Trauma

Cornelius has slayed many creatures in the prusuit of knowledge and while he never like aberrations. Watching his friend and mentor Galvyn get torn apart by a planar portal is terrifying to him. He always saw Galvyn has powerful and very smart, but to see one mistake go awry so poorly has scarred him to this day. That's why he thinks out every action and plan to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Intellectual Characteristics

Cornelius is very smart and has studies numerous topics in his time with Galvyn. He knows much about magic despite not being able to cast any, religion without following any god, geography without exploring too much and politics without being in cities. All he has learned has been from books and knowledge passed on orally. But he never dismisses information when brought up. He is always willing to learn new information even if the topic is silly or uninteresting.

Morality & Philosophy

Cornelius believes anyone can achieve greatness and should be able to. After all he is a very smart Orc, which seems impossible. The pursuit of one's goals (knowledge, power) is what he holds dear and will debate anything that he does not agree with or understand until he does.

person.sexuality

Cornelius had many lovers and potential wives at his Orc tribe but left it all behind when he met Galvyn. Through their tavels together he garnered respect for Galvyn which turned to admiration.

Maybe he has stronger feelings for Galvyn but he won't know until he can look into his eyes.
