Orm Vidrig

Orm trained in the arcane arts at The City of The gods as he grew in favour and power, but remained mostly in the seclusion of The City until he decided to move to the royal palace in Corlas, to teach at the knights training school. Many considered Orm to be a pleasant and charming person which was quite a talking point due to his race. After the death of King Johnathan of Lancove and his family however, Orms demeaner started to degrade and he was notably more irritable and angry until one day with out warning he disappeared from the Corlas. 
He was next seen in Old Vashton in 6732 SU as one of the members of a new group called the Crimson Codex who were looking to start a new wizarding college called the Crimson Codex Academy which he became one of the teachers, as well as a key promoter/ PR specialist. 
=== History ===
Orm was born in Crastif in the village of Colthold after a Scandar raid left his mother pregnant, never truly accepted by those around him for being an Orc, as soon as he was old enough he fled and went east into the hills of White Sky. He survived here for about 6 months until it started to grow cold for the winter and he was forced to venture to The City of The gods to try and steal food but he was caught and was taken to the head master. Instead of being reprimanded he was given accommodation food and a job at the college, Orm began to meet other humans from across Torlund who were far more accepting of his species but was still looked down on by some of them for his lack of powers. 
Orm Began to train in the Arcane arts, with pretty much all of his free time, he wasn't the most adept or the quickest learner but he was determined and he had time. About 12 years after coming to college a new teacher starter Lord Rodger of Lancove and he saw that Orm had begun to reach the limit of what he could learn alone, he began to tutor Orm speeding his growth and training, he also ensured that Orm was able to access some of the more restricted and powerful texts, both the simply more dangerous spells but also those which were considered less morally acceptable. Rodger eventually became the head teacher of the college and was able to appoint Orm as his own replacement even though Orm didn't have all of the necessary qualifications for the positions, he was given the freedom to continue his studies and training. 
Many teachers, students and visitors pondered that fact that Orm could have easily made more money and gained more fame if he were to move on from teaching at the college and hired out his arcane skills, or producing arcane artefacts, but he brushed off every offer of employment, or advice to better himself. Until suddenly in 6724 SU he applied for and requested the position of Arcane teacher at the Royal Palace's Knights training school, training any training knights who had magical aptitude how to best use it to their advantage in battle. There are not a lot of Half-Orcs in Corlas and far fewer in the Royal Palace although the king himself never tolerated anyone openly treating anyone poorly due to their race but this doesn't stop it completely, many of the less repeatable Lords would try to enrage Orm to "prove" Orcs are savage beasts. But to the their annoyance and the pleasure of many palace gossips he was always treated these people of respect and reverence, which quickly gained him the reputation of being a calm, peace loving and quite frankly charming man. 
After the death of the Lancove family, it appeared that was quite noticeable that his demeaner changed rapidly becoming far more irritable and often lashing out with fist and spell at people who angered him. Many believe that his sudden disappearance in mid 6728, was possibly due to this attitude getting him on the wrong side of someone, but investigations into the matter showed mysterious payments, letters and arcane rituals which couldn't fully be explained. The next time that Orm made himself know was in Old Vashton as he was part of a group of oddly wealthy mages known as the Crimson Codex who offered to construct and run a wizarding college there for the country of The Divided Regions of Bestaria which was very quickly constructed and promoted. After the Academy was opened for the first students Orm became one of the lectures specialising in the teaching of offensive uses of enchantment and charm spells in battle but teaching many other aspects of magic with the limited number of teachers. 
=== Life Now ===
The Crimson Codex Academy granted Orm a manor house in the Silverwall District as a part of his office as teacher as well as promoter of the Academy, part of his role was to travel around the DRB and the surrounding area of Duthgar. He also dealt with many of the officials from other Colleges, the Visible Council or other people who would be inspecting the college. many of these events were held at this manor as well as at the college grounds, but after a massive party intended to celebrate the official declaration that the Crimson Codex Academy was being accepted as a recognised wizarding college, there was some form of terrible incident which resulted in many of the students who were assisting at the party being hospitalised, after which questions were raised about some of the goings on at the Academy and House Deneith raided the manor and academy but it seems that they had some how been tipped off and the top ranking members of the academy were gone, including Orm. 
=== Physical Description ===
This aging green skinned Half-Orc, has less muscle mass than most Half-Orcs but no one would look at him and think he was weak, even though he does focus more on building his mind rather than his body. His hair has mostly receded from the top of his head but when he smiles he can still look rather charming, he often wears more practical cloths over fancy or showy, but has an acceptable array of lavish cloths to use at events that call for it. 
=== Affiliations ===
Orm began to teach Markku Tovainen, the arcane arts while at the Royal palace in Corlas, and he saw the potential of Markku while training him and thus was reasonably fond of him. 
While at The City of The gods it was very common knowledge that Orm and Lord Rodger were very close and often spent many evenings together. 
Since arriving in Old Vashton Orm was very close to Harwin Kaale and Yul Drae who worked with him to set up the Academy and then ran it with him. They seemed very focused on setting the college up and were unified in that ambition but weren't seen together for other reasons.
