## **Intro**

Born and raised in a poor Half-Orc settlement near Luskan on Sword Coast North by the sea. His parents were menial laborers working for a sea merchant in Luskan. His parents gave him a very noble human name as they do have high hopes for him to have a better future. He became a sailor at a very young age in a merchant ship. Due to the discrimination usually associated with Orcs and others with Orcish origins, his heritage and not to mention his foolishness and short tempers, he earned a reputation of being a brawler and a street thug. At the sea however, He found freedom from all of the things he knew and loved it fiercely. A mercenary swashbuckler captain, who was also employed by the merchant to guard his ships, saw a potential in him and agreed to train him in the art of sword-fighting. A decade past and the captain on his last contract with the merchant, came upon a raid from pirates sulking the Luskan coast. Both the captain and Ozymandias, now a more bulkier and a more experienced sword-fighter sailor, tried defending the Ship but was overwhelmed by the pirates nevertheless. After plundering the ship, The Pirate captain tried to convince Ozymandias to join their crew, seeing that he could use a half-orc pirate who can properly handle a sword. When he refused, the Pirate captain killed all the crew and passengers of the ship. Killing his captain last and left him tied up the ship's mast to die as fire engulfs the ship. He was able to escape just in time and survived by swimming in the middle of the sea all the way to the coast. Ever since then he was on a mission to find who that pirate captain was, even joining a new pirate crew in an off chance to find the pirate captain and finally exact his revenge.
