Curious, hilarious (or so he thinks) and on the run.
Shri'Tek was born on the road, his parents were esteemed Artificers in the Orcish empire. As it fell and the orcs turned mad they fled and changed their name. Shri'Tek was born in an refugee camp set up outside a Mazdakentran City. He grew up relatively happy but as resources started to dwindle and crime increased it was easy to blame the refugees, there was a lynching and heavily beaten up the family fled. They managed to make their way to Casteux and found a relatively peaceful life in a small town where they traded their skills and goods for food and housing.
The damage to Shri'Tek however was done, he had developed odd manurisms, he repeated words, talked in third person, was often jumpy and stared off in the distance seemingly lost in thought.
He naturally took to his parents trade and was often found tinkering and practicing artificing, sometimes leaving scorched brows.
They lived peacefully for a good number of years before disaster struck again. Word had traveled of the skilled inventors and their talented, yet odd, son and some people made the connection to their past. Some mercenaries who had a good job ferrying parts and ingredients for them before the fall of the orcs paid them a visit. See they lost a great deal of invested money and they wanted that back. Shri'Tek's parents paid so they could go on with their lives but the mercenaries returned for more, they wanted trade secrets, tensions rose and Shri'Tek who was hiding in the workshop started to panic, driven by flashbacks to the lynching he infused a ball of fine iron mesh and threw it at the mercenaries to scare them off. But something went wrong, it exploded and lobbed molten metal and fire everywhere. Those that did not die ran wounded and maimed. The house had caught fire and went up in flames, damaging several nearby houses in the process.
His parents gave him tools and coin and told him to go hide in the world for a while, they were going to be fine, the village had always been there for them and they had good connections, they'd rebuild.
And so he ran.
