Name: Kezza Skullsplitter
Titles: Son of Sagga Skullsplitter, Captain of the Dawnchaser, The Half-breed
Age: 39 (looks younger)

Description: One could hardly call Kezza a classically handsome sort; his skin has a dull green tint to it and his eyes are almost always surrounded by dark circles. His nose is wide and close to his face and his ears, pointier than orcs usually have, protrude from thick, straight hair, falling down to his shoulder blades, dark in color, and part of it braided behind his right ear. Despite his slightly rugged looks, he sports a relatively neatly trimmed goatee. His pale yellow eyes seem to carry a glint of mischief to them whenever he speaks.

Physically, he seems to hit a mark between lean and fit, slim, yet toned muscles lining his limbs and torso, easily seen every time he shifts his body around. Despite being 6'4", he seems to have been built for swiftness, rather than bulkiness, probably drawing that from his elven side. He usually wears clothes in dark colors, sometimes broken by a brighter color, and can almost always be seen smoking a pipe, when relaxing. Another easily recognizable markings would be the dark, wide lines on his arms; his father's war band's mark, inked into his skin.

Personality: Where he lacks in good elven looks, Kezza makes up for it with a distinctively snide charm that had sent many a city youngling into flustered giggles. He speaks in a hushed, slightly raspy baritone, sounding for most of the time like he's letting you in on a dirty little secret. Despite spending his free time either drinking or smoking in the company of at least one barmaid or a smitten, curious nobleman’s son, he tends to take his "job" seriously, capable of acting at a drop of a hat, as well as spending long hours in research, before setting off to complete his task.

He believes in being compensated fairly, at least in the amount he deems adequate for what he was asked to do, and is generally not happy with those who try to dodge it. Despite being on relatively good terms with a lot of people, some tend to be wary of him, due to him being known for dealing in some shady business, the newest one seemingly being piracy.

History: Born a year after the Second war began, Kezza spent his early years in his father's home in Volganos, starting to train as a warrior with other Orc children. Despite being the smallest one there, he already showed promise by being the quickest. Where they beat him in pure physical strength, Kezza learned to compensate by being the fastest and often the smartest one on the "playground".

When he reached the age of fifteen, as a young lad, his father offered him a choice; either stay with him and train to one day serve in the troupes of Volganos, with his peers, or venture out into Talendon, to be met with his elven mother and learn a thing or two from the elven rangers. Kezza chose neither, opting instead to seek his own path and travel the world.

His path in life had led him through various experiences since then, be it on something of a spiritual journey with a couple of druids, to honing his skills and earning a pretty penny at the Fighting Pits. For the last ten years, he made most of his living as a sell-sword, only to suddenly drop that profession and disappear for a while, unable to be reached. He only emerged back into public some four months earlier, gathered his old comrades, and formed a band of pirates, obtaining a ship called the Dawnchaser from an unknown source and set out to sail the four seas.

His true purpose, while being unknown to most, is in fact smuggling precious cargo off the continent, hidden under the veil of piracy and frightening reputation.
