Half-orc. Charming. Witty, for an Half-Orc. It's also not easy being green. It's also not easy being a former slave/gladiator, but it certainly helps him now.

Background
Beyond the fact that he can be quiet and reserved, especially in the presence of Hoomans, he is quite personably despite the fact that he has a tendancy to state the obvious from time to time.
His childhood was not entirely a happy one, growing up within a society of Orcs that tended to treat him inferiorly, having a bit a human blood in him. He got a chance to personally learn how to use weapons and discover a small, but flourishable talent in weaponry and combat when he was discovered letting gladiators and slaves go, just in the sheer delight of seeing their former owners trying to catch and find them. This fed into his small, but noticeable trait of shadenfreude, but at the price of finding himself bearing the mark of a gladiator and being pushed to fight before lots of fans. It wasn't easy, being in a place where he was considered inferior and having to live with humans that loved to hate him. It wasn't long, however, in his fights and how he carried himself, that some of the humans realized that he wasn't out to get them all, despite the fact that they would find their shoelaced tied together in the morning.
Eventually, he and a few humans found an opportunity to get free, and he took it, and escaped to the south.
Outlook
His default operation mode is usually reserved and untrusting, especially with Humans who seem to have a general motif operandus of not trusting him, but with signs of friendship, he opens up.
The glass, however, is always half full. He probably couldn't have survived with any less of an attitude than that. Despite being underpowered in intelligence and computing things rawly, he carries himself well and knows when to advance and when to backoff. And usually, finding oneself as the victim of his unusual humor is a sign of affection.
Recent
Travelling with one of the humans that he had rescued from the arena, he finds himself trying to find truth, honor, and good food. And lots of riches. And stuff like that.
