Character description/personality:
Morthos is up for a challenge any day. Arm-wrestle, spar, race, it doesn't matter. Constantly trying to prove himself to the people around him. But Morthos is also a bit touched in the head. He will talk weird at random, weather it is plain common being used in an odd way or talking in another language interspertently. But if you are clever enough, you can discover the meaning behind even his bouts of crazy...

Combat tactics:
Hack and slash. It's all Morthos really cares about anyway. He has no tactics, switches between being chaotic and purposeful during battle. His chaotic tactics tend to throw off his enemies, but unfortunately also his allies.

Character background:
Morthos was born in a human city in the tiefling part of town. This city had a decent number of Dwarven minority living there and their manly ways inspired Morthos. He figured if he got people to see him more for his manliness than for his devilishness, people would overlook his tiefling heritage and see him almost as favorably as they do Dwarves. With just as many dwarf friends and mentors as human, Morthos learned the secondary language most who bothered with such spoke in this city: Dwarven.

Morthos intended to grow up to be a powerful fighter, so he practiced daily and frequently got into tussles with other "tough guys" in the hood. But one day, the boy went missing. A week later, he seemed to appear again and when people asked him where he went, he babbled about a beautiful place of tentacles, wandering eyes, and other nonsense. He went from being the "toughguy tiefling" to being the town lunatic. Nobody believed him. Not even his friends or family. He only got more disturbing when he began speaking in tongues at random. He found his craziness scared people more than his toughguy act used to. So Morthos was, ironically, encouraged by the people's fear to continue allowing the crazy to be part of his life.

People eventually got used to his form of crazy and found he still functioned well enough, even if most didn't want to associate with him quite as much anymore. Morthos formed a stronger friendship with those who believed him, few though they were. He eventually got his armor, sword and shield. He and his parents were warned that the first sign of his craziness leading to endangering the town, he would be banished... or imprisoned. But as an adventurer, Morthos didn't care about that and left town to seek his own path.
