Cassius "The Seeker" Solus, is a human explorer and ranger from the First Landing, the first human settlement in the Commonwealth of Orcanum on the continent of Orkanosh.

## Life as a colonist

Being born in the human colonies on Orcanum, Cassius' youth was turbulent, having to frequently bear the news of Staghorn Orc raids and coast raids from other clans that aren't happy about humans settling on Orkanosh. From an early age Cassius learnt to wield a sword and shield and volunteered as a ranger to scout the Northern Forests of Orcanum. His life mirrored the life of Nexilitas of the Bloodhand Clan, his 2nd cousin on his mother's side. Both enjoyed hunting, horseback riding, archery and were ready to fight for their homes.

## Relationship with Nexilitas

Cassius comes from a dynasty of expert warriors and explorers. His great aunt married an Orc, at the time the Chieftain of the Bloodhand Clan. Years passed, and the position of Chieftain was passed onto a young half-orc, who had to prove her legitimacy as a leader through combat. Her son, Nexilitas, became pen-pals with Cassius.

## The Search for Nex

On a faithful night, December 30th, on the last year of the 5th century, Cassius received the last letter from his cousin, as Corp'Anosh was raided by demon worshippers and Nex had to flee the continent in order to survive. Shortly after receiving the letter, Cassius sailed all across the ocean, first to the human continents to find any word of Nex in the settlements of orcish refugees. But alas, for months his search was in vain, until he had found a settlement on board of a fleet of ships in the middle of the sea. Several small ships and frigates encircled a large battleship and each ship was connected with boards, rope and nets. This was a sea settlement made by orcs and humans who didn't want to associate with any human kingdoms. the battleship in the center - "The Ambassador", the same ship Nex was on during the raid on Corp'Anosh. After asking the captain of the ship about his cousin, Cassius set his course for the west, the lands of Azrane, shrouded in mystery and rumoured to be the center of the Great Collapse.

## Arrival in Azrane

After arriving in Azrane, Cassius quickly found traces of Nex, and followed the trail until he had found a watchtower near a strange portal. Upon reaching the top of the watchtower, Cassius had found Nex's journal, the last chapter of which detailed the surrender of his mortality, to be able to defeat the demons that had plagued Orkanosh. Devastated by the fact his search for family was in vain, Cassius had given up and realized Orkanosh is probably a lost cause for someone like him. By the time he arrives there it would've been completely devoured by demonic worshippers.

## Pinewatch and the New Commonwealth

Shortly after getting to know the people of Azrane and even partaking in the battle of Aurora on the side of Rosaria, Cassius had decided to explore the South reaches of Azrane, where he had found the towns of Amaranth and Pantheon. Later, he decided to create his own settlement and start a new colony called Pinewatch.
