Prey

Prey was named by Sadan, The Harlot of Luukos. He originally was part of a small extended family of halflings whose business was making heavy quartz orbs. When he was very young, a massive party of Grimswarm Orcs swarmed the tiny village, leaving most of the inhabitants dead. Sadan happened along to complain about some orbs she had purchased and found the village in shambles and the inhabitants dead or nearly so. She demanded her silvers back. Prey's mother begged Sadan to transport her remaining children, two boys, to safety. Sadan refused. The mother convinced Sadan that the boys could make her heavy quartz orbs as payment. Sadan agreed to take them, but found them too heavy to transport and left the bigger boy somewhere in the wilderness. The younger son she brought to town. The boy, now known as Prey, was traumatized by the Orc attack and had few memories left. He did not know his name and asked Sadan. She told him to choose a name among such choices as "Filthy little halfling", "Nothing" and "Prey." She soon found out that the young boy had no knowledge of heavy quartz orb making. Instead she gave him work testing scarabs. She threatened to turn him over to evil sorcerers during his tenure as scarab tester. He has since risen above his station and become a timid and fearful member of Sunfist. He plans to avenge his family, but as yet is way too scared of orcs to do it.
