**Sien**  Sien was born into slavery. Her mother was owned by a wealthy man who often put slave against slave or beast and sold seats to greater his income. She was a simple woman, a beautiful woman. In the slave pits she had been raped many times by man and orc alike. Sien was merely the product of an unfortunate encounter. She didn’t really know her mother. She couldn’t remember her. She’d died while Sien was but a toddler still… another, yet more violent encounter this time. That left Sien in the care of the orcs and slaves. It was a harsh and painful upbringing. The advanced growth that her orc blood gave her assisted in her muscle and physical build keeping her just beyond the human boy’s reach. By 14 she was fully developed. By 15, she was fully grown. Her height and build was enough to pit her against nearly any opponent. Her higher than normal intelligence, for an orc, made her a formidable combatant. Indeed, Sien became the highest ticket show the slave master had. Dressing her in gladiator mail and leathers, putting a giant sword in her hand, her owners sold out shows again and again so that audiences could watch beast and man alike in their quest to tear the strong, beautiful, and powerful half-orc woman to shreds.

Duruz 19 or so he stopped counting after awhile  Duruz was only a kid when his tribe and several others were raided, many thought it was a battle. He knew better, it was a slaughter no one was ready for the attack they thought they had peace. Duruz had only made it out, because he had been out cold and they thought he was dead. He had been out in the wilds for ten years honing whatever skills he could and surviving whatever was thrown at him.
