He would never speak if he didn't have to, leading to long journeys with him to be in utter silence, but when he does he always seems to be annoyed and rather blunt, simply not carrying of anyone's feelings. As you'd expect from a Orc, Tandagh has a short fuse and once it is lit the explosion tends to lead to bloody walls and broken bones. Unlike most of his kind Tandagh doesn't boast of his abilities, in fact he has quite the disdain for people who do. He would rather prove his power through action than talk about it. He finds fights to be more relaxing than actually trying to relax, making down time one of the most annoying concepts to him. He has two odd traits for an Orc, the first being his hatred for alcohol, seeing it as something that does nothing but dull one's skills. The second is his love for bards and their music, he has gone as far to learn how to play the lute though he'd sooner crack someone's skull than admit it. [b] Background: [/b] Tandagh was born into the province of Orsinium to two black smiths as parents. Like other Orsimers he was trained in the art of smithing by his mother, though he never found any real joy in the act. It wasn't until his thirteenth birthday and he got into his first fight, with another young Orc who made the mistake of insulting his mother, that he discovered his love of besting a foe. So he set forth, like many other Orcs, to becoming a incredible warrior. He spent years training with his One-armed skills, namely with axes, to the point he could best most. It wasn't until he was twenty-five that his true life would start, or rather unlife. A Bosmer bard by the name of Allaina had come to Orsinium on her way to to Skyrim. Tandagh had found himself falling for her and quickly made it a goal to go out of his way to impress her. The young Orc had achieved his quest in getting the wood elf's attention through a series of fights with other Orcs, offerings of jewelry he crafted at the forge, and his seeming undying interest in her music. The night he thought he would finally "bed" her she told him that she thought him to be interesting and placed the kiss on his neck that ended his life. Yes Allaina was indeed a vampire and Tandagh had seemed to impress her enough to turn him. After which the two left Orsinium and traveled all over Tamriel for decades, Allaina teaching Tandagh both how to play the lute and how to use illusion spells to bend the minds of others. It was when the dragon crises arose that problems started. Allaina was killed by a dragon, sending Tandagh into a boiling rage. He then set out to get revenge for his lover and creator by slaughtering as many dragons as he could.
