I know, I know, every campaign has a good-aligned orc... how about something new?

Well, forget the new crap, I like Gladius. He is a rather interesting NPC that presents excellent opportunities for role playing. So sit down, shut up, and finish reading what you started. ;-)

As you may assume, Gladius has been an orc all of his life. No magical something-or-another involved. Sorry, can't undo something with him. He is well-liked by Tiger Shark and company, yet they find it hard to get into towns with him around. He has a small following of orcs that constantly escort him where he needs to go. Protection, ya know? Being of a different nature than almost every other orc out there, he treats his followers with kindness and respect. They return it. Most of them are Lawful Neutral or True Neutral in alignment.

Gladius was born with the ability to see what most other orcs couldn't: unfairness and prosecution of those that were lesser than them, and not a fair chance to do something else other than kill, steal, and maraud. He didn't like it, and ran off. He took the name of Gladius to sound like something not-orc, he's not sure what it sounds like either.... His birth name was Gurtok, but he shuns the names of orcs and has convinced his band to find more common-sounding names. He speaks common without any flaws or any hint of an accent, yet still speaks orcish with ease. He is accepted by those orcs who don't know him, and hated by those who's paths he's crossed. The accepting tribes usually turn within hours of speaking with him, yet at least one orc from every band he meets joins forces with him.

Gladius is well-adjusted and articulate, he can be found at times passing for one of the black-skinned southerners at times when he needs a disguise, although his skin is a deep shade of crimson. His fangs are filed down a bit, but he found it was good to stop filing when a sharp pain occured. His eyes are totally black, and his flat, wide nose makes some people look at him a few times considering....

A fierce fighter, he is a good addition to any party that needs help in the wilderness, particularly hills and plains. Monsters tend to stay away....
