Physical Description

A tall man with as few noticeable features as possible. A hood covers his head, a mask his face. Hands and feet wrapped in linen so that bare skin is a rare sight. A thick grey jacket covers him with accents of blood red and dirt as its only insignia. What stands out is the large stone slab he wields and its many etched names in it. A faceless soldier bearing the names of warriors across countless conflicts.

Personal history

Born in a war camp, Talion knew the routeen of conflict as a part of his culture and upbringing. School was as common as martial drills. Play was replaced with strategic assessment. It was not a mercy to not kill him as a child, which is what his 'good' liberators claimed. It left him adrift in a world still at war.
Talion found himself in a mercenary company, which survived only a handful of skirmishes. He would find another and another without loyalty to their business or the side they sell their coin to. The constant, the only thing that made sense, was the conflict itself.
 
Death was not some dark or grim thing, but an outcome of the game. He, himself, brushed death more times than he can count. In some cases, he actually did perish only to be returned to life. His devotion granted him an endless endurance to strife, an act that Kord embraced in its selfless purity free of ego or nationalism. The large stone tombstone that Talion carries becomes a way to bring the names of similar committed warriors to remembrance.

Education

A military upbringing, Talion was taught how to act as a soldier across camps of war and mercenaries. Half-orcs grow into adult frames quickly, and so too was how he quickly adapted to wartime skillsets.

Employment

Talion works as a mercenary to build a war chest for upcoming conflicts. The value of the money is not a driving factor, but the economy of how it supports the war effort is.

Known Languages

Common, Orcish

Personality

Motivation

Talion is motivated by agendas and initiatives that relate to efforts sparking, fueling, or ending wartime. It can be as simple as digging trenches to as complicated to signing on to a multi-month military campaign as part of a mercenary corps. He does not abhor violence or murder for the political reasons, but as a means to honor the profession of a soldier.
