- Spoiler:
- Melkor comes from a long line of wanderers. His parents, whom he has never named, were part of a group of merchant gypsies who constantly moved from place to place. Melkor heard stories of warfare and acts of valor from the group's bard, Gorath, and from that point on had a fascination with glory. At an early age, Melkor began showing signs of magic use, and also excelled in crafting armor with the smith, Kernadt. Melkor enjoyed his life as he knew it until the age of around 14, when everything changed.
After a day of hunting to feed the group, Melkor returned to find the train of wagons the wanderers called home pillaged, the inhabitants dead. Melkor's parents, Kernadt, Gorath - all killed. Melkor, incensed, moved cautiously forward along the path, following tracks left by the presumed raiders. Melkor finally stumbled upon an encampment of about a dozen orcs, all sorting the loot from the rovers. Melkor's rage finally grew to a breaking point, and his sorcerous abilities exploded out of him in an inexplicable wave of pure rage, startling both Melkor and the orcs. Empowered by this feeling, Melkor slaughtered the orcs using his magic abilities, making sure none were left alive for the atrocity they committed.
Melkor, both afraid of his newfound power and ambitious as to where it could lead him, decided to go to the nearby city and enroll in the military academy he had seen when passing by the previous day. Using the money looted by the orcs, Melkor paid his way through the academy, learning to refine his magic into powerfully destructive works of magic. After 5 years, Melkor determined that he had learned enough of his abilities to return to the world, to wander once more and find his own path to glory.
So yeah. TL;DR: Melkor has a distrust for Orcs, enjoys power, is a mage, and likes a good smoke and occasionally a pint.
