Personal history

While she is a half orc, she was born and raised in the mundane world. She has lived in Seattle her entire life. A clan of orcs were brought through the rift and she is part of their second generation. She grew up on the stories of the other world and the fragmented pieces of the Orc lore that her people could recall. But she was raised by her human mother (Heather Kneal) and went through the human public school system. Because of that she is more of this mundane world then she is of the Shadow World, but she cannot fully free herself from her father’s legacy either. Her father’s clan, Urzoth, have welcomed her within their midst and accepted her as one of their own. Her mother has allowed her free access to her father (Gollik Dosk) and his people.   Gollik and Heather left Seattle when Tamazar was 20. She doesn’t know why they left or where they went. They did say goodbye to her before leaving and promised to return to her as soon as possible. They left her with the impression that it was Clan business. Now they have been missing for 5 years and no one in the Clan will tell her anything about why her parents are missing.   She has an older brother, Rok Dosk, who is full Orc and was born in the Shadow World. The Clan came through the Rift when he was a small child. He is 10 years older than Tamazar. They are not particularly close, but they have respect for each other.   One of the other Cleaners, George Smith, dislikes Tamazar simply because she is half orc. He believes all the stories about the aggression and violent nature of the Orc race. He is sure that her true nature will reveal itself at any time.   She is an ally with Deld. She has been known to help him make transactions with the Urzoth Clan.   She is allied with the Wildlings.   Tamazar had once imagined herself becoming fully part of the Urzoth Clan by marrying one of the Orcs, Vorith Gont. However, he died while they were still engaged. He was in a car accident. She has grieved his death and moved on, no longer seeking the life of the Orc wife.   She was given an education grant. She used this to study Chemistry. (Science and French)

History

There is a 10 year gap between them. This alone made it so that they had little in common, but the fact that Tamazar was raised within the Mundane world separates them more. These divisions make it difficult for them to find common ground with which to forge a real friendship. However, they share a mutual respect of each other.

History

They used to be friends, back when Clarissa was part of the Orcs. But when she decided to leave the clans, she lost this friendship too. The Orc clans mean everything to Tamazar and leaving them is unforgivable. It is a betrayal of the family and of everything that is central in her life.
