Employment

He used to be a marauder in his tribe since he was 7. He start pillaging village and taking scroll and books instead, in which it plant seeds of curiosity and wonder in young orc's mind.
  After he left his tribe at 16, he learn to be the scribe using his knowledge in various language and magic.
  Eventually he was picked up by one of Golden Guild chain, Golden Hoof, specialized in diplomacy and merchant, under guidance of the guildmaster Juliet Nosseau the air genasi sorcerer. He was just a normal scribe, who use his skill in language to pay the bill. But his curiosity helped drive him further in study.
In the Guild, he learned further the art of merchant. He picked up things pretty quickly, and soon he became the Guild Merchant in there.
  Still, Bajogg sometimes felt he is too brutal and intense among his fellow Guild member. While he also felt too soft and not chaotic enough for his fellow orcs. He felt he was having trouble being sympathetic to other, even so- it does not stop him to share the sympathy.
  At some point, Bajogg was told to move to Golden Wool by Juliet not only to further satisfied his curiosity for the world, but also to help the newly built Golden Wool.

  "I have nothing more to teach you, young Bajogg, go out and see the world, seize it as you see fit."

Accomplishments & Achievements

Born in warlike community, he was guided that his power is for destruction, war, and victory for his tribe. And so he carry such pride in his young age, for his wild magic- sparks and burns everything around him.
  Even so, Bajogg also learn other interest. He was interested in learning other language, in so he start learning about other race's interest and skill too. To other tribe member, he was seen as weird and too soft. His curiosity was reprimanded. But, even so... his curiosity was too big to be locked down, eventually he learned how to sneak behind the tribe chief and shaman's back.   One day during his adulthood- it was one time of his life when he and one of his tribe-mate Morgor was separated from hunting party and stuck in a forest. It was raining and cold- normal fire wouldn't last. Bajogg casted a magic that he knew years in his life. But it was at that moment, he found some sort of awakening- a calling- realizing that he protect his friend from cold, and so other smaller animals that would try to take a shelter. He start question himself... Is there more in his magic than just destruction and victory? Was victory always meant bloodshed for other parties? He stay up all night wondering while keeping the fire alive with his concentration.

Failures & Embarrassments

His curiosity and question however, was shamed and disliked by other shaman. But Bajogg was stubborn by his search. He was chained and locked, to prevent Bajogg from taking the magic in him outside, and for him to be sacrificed. By help of his friend Morgor and his magic... Bajogg escaped. Forever exiled and possibly hunted by his tribe. He went forth seeking for answer of his own question... and new shelter to stay.

The Beginning in Golden Hoof
1720-1721

Saya sudah lama mengikuti perjalanan merchant tua ini, saya datang pada beliau awalnya menawarkan jasa sebagai bodyguard, dan setelah beliau melihat kemampuan saya dalam bahasa dan arcana- dia mengizinkan saya untuk membantu dia berdagang juga sebagai seorang scribe.   Dia dan merchant lain memang sering berkoalisi dan bekerja dibawah Guild satu ini yang namanya Golden Hoof. Katanya cabang dari salah satu Guild besar bernama Golden Guild.   Saya melihat kalau ternyata, cabang ini tidak hanya berisi pedagang, walaupun mayoritas adalah pedagang- tidak jarang saya mendengar bahkan menengok satu- dua adventurer. Saya juga mendengar tentang bagaimana cabang ini dipimpin oleh seorang Air Genasi yang juga seorang sorcerer. Dan itu membulatkan tekad saya.   Saya sedang menyiapkan diri untuk bertemu dengannya. Walau saya juga sudah lama dan cukup nyaman bersama merchant tua ini, tetapi saya merasa tidak cukup kalau hanya harus berkutat sebagai merchant saja. Sudah saatnya saja berpisah walau saya merasa beliau seperti keluarga sendiri dan begitu menerima saya. Saya harap awal saya di Golden Hoof juga, hal pertama yang saya lakukan adalah membalas budinya dengan uang hasil adventuring saya pertama.   Mungkin Air Genasi itu bisa mengajarkan saya lebih cara mengendalikan sihir saya dan berbagi rahasia seputar Wild Magic, dan hal-hal yang tidak bisa saya dapatkan dan temui dari saya sekedar menjadi pedagang biasa. Bahasa yang belum pernah saya kenali. Saya dengan Genasi, mereka pandai berbicara bahasa yang bukan dari Material Plane...   Saya sedikit khawatir dan ragu jikalau mereka mau menerima seorang half orc sebagai merchant adventurer, tetapi saya percaya diri akan kemampuan yang bisa saya tawarkan pada Guild ini. Sang merchant tua juga tidak menahan saya, saya akan pastikan saya tidak membuat beliau kecewa. Tidak disangka, ilmu berdagang yang saya peroleh dari merchant tua ini akan ada waktunya diuji di tempat baru ini.   They will not regret taking me in.   [jurnal tertulis dalam bahasa Orc]   ===
