T'hn

T'hn Arxkreef's mother was a member of the T'ck Krain tribe, a nomadic barbarian tribe in the province of (TBD) when she was raped by an Orc during a raid on their encampment, a not to unusual occurrence in the wilds. He was a strong baby and so the tribe named him T'hn ArxKreef which in the tongue of the nomads means Fist of Fire Mountain. T'hn's eyes have flecks of red, a rare trait seen in an orc but was seen in the rapist's eyes. When he was 9, the tribe was once again raided, this time by slavers. He never again saw his mother after being sold to a warrior prince of Dythnor called Paxis Mouway. The slavers didn't understand the language of the tribe so they called the large boy Tehn OxTheif, sounding out the name, a rude gesture on behalf of an ignorant man who didn't even know how to spell thief. Paxis was "mostly" a benevolent master and he taught Tehn many skills, but his marginal intelligence and explosive temper prevented Tehn from ever becoming a real skilled fighter. So violent was his temper, Paxis enlisted a wizard, Elkar D'Grato to condition it out of him. Elkar used magic with the conditioning to such an extent, the boy became completely subservient. They taught him manners, they taught him obedience, they broke his spirit. Years later, seeing no potential as a warrior, Pasis brought Tehn to the castle as a Manservent/Buttler. Where he served him loyally for 6 years. Near the end of the Godson War, Pasis' castle was taken and Pasis killed. Tehn's bottled rage was released after many years of repression and Tehn became death incarnate. Not one creature, save Tehn, drew breath as he left to live in the forest that surrounded the castle.
