"WOAH STOIC! NO!"
You look up to see tall half-orc covered in weapons and brands dragging his mule from shrub. Both humanoid and pack animal have dreadlocks woven with ivy and the occasional flower. He wears finely-wrought mail hauberk and has unicorn-emblem shield slung over his shoulder. His clothes and equipment are simple but well-crafted, possibly elven manufacture. As he sees you he smiles warily, flicking his dreads forward and adjusting his neck scarf to hide the ugly elf-killer brand he carries. He makes the sign of peace.

Life wasn' easy as harem-whelp in the lair of Skaapsh One-eye, but Gell was strong, tough and, by orcish standards, smart. He won many brands for his feats, and many others for the joy of hearing him scream. But all that changed when Meng Bone-Reader aided Vlaarak Ratnose to the necklace of power. Gell fled this homecaves with the other offspring of the old regime.
Gell and his brother Feng stumbled across woodland shrine. Here, elf-children played and the orc-cubs marveled at their strangeness, their beauty and frustrating lack of violence. An elf-girl invited them to play. Disoriented, the brothers followed the elven example and didn' fight, even when they lost. This led to meal. place to sleep. home.
In the Glade of the Weeping Pearl, Gell discovered beauty and joy. Jeneleth Half-elf, the old knight who ran this remote orphanage, trained his charges in herb-lore and the disciplines of his order. These didn' come easily to the wild orclings and tempers often flared. Though Jeneleth didn' beat them as often as old Skaapsh, his punishments were harder to distract with alcohol, women or comic fart. Gell endured the discipline because he loved the natural beauty of the Grove. His brother Feng found no peace. After an angry argument, he defaced the shrine and fled. Jeneleth's wards hunted him. The eldest, Varis "Autumnwrath" Amastacia found him and brought back his head.
Then old Jeneleth died and Varis became leader of the Grove. Though he hated all orc blood, the elf honoured his vow to old Jeneleth and continued to train Gell. Sessions were brutal, tempers short and looks hateful but neither broke their code. Finally Gell's time came to be tried and initiated. Varis confessed that he couldn' judge Gell's merits justly and took him on long journey to another Grove. Three elders of the order tested Gell and found him wanting.
The Rage of Gruumsh descended. Gell abused the elves for prejudice more blind than that of men or orcs. He challenged them to combat and taunted their effeminacy. He insulted them, their mothers, their children and their Gods. He continued raging at the silent trees until his voice was hoarse croak. Then, realising they wouldn' give him the death he craved, he swore to that he would outshine them all as knights, and took his leave according to the code. Alone under the sky, he plans to travel the world of his mothers folk to find new cause and hopefully, new friends. Just don' step on his flowers!

Gell learned gardening from the best and has an almost magical ability to revive plants.
