Written Backstory
Rotund grew up in a human monastery amongst the orc refuges who took up residence in the mountain. He was torn between monk and barbarian training. Thus it was rage or calm, and he didn't know which. Even though he knew humans, the prejudice was still there as it was humans who drove his people into the mountains in the first place. The fact that human knights would challenge them occasionally didn't help. His respect for humans grew worse as he ate the flesh of said knights. The orc god Gruumsh and the lengthy pantheon is who the orcs worshiped, and it was under his teaching that they ate the flesh of enemies to gain their strength. He felt more strength come from chicken than them causing him to think lowly of them but still friendly and civil. The Wandering Fist came from his realization that rage and peace can be used together. After traveling with a witty and sarcastic noble, and then somehow plain-hopping to Romanorum and fighting with dragon people he started to flush out his style and develop his teachings.The Wandering Fist
