Derringer Lingsthor
A half-orc beast shunned by Human and orcish kind alike. He was born elsewhere on Andoria, but brought to Briee as a youth and tortured and tested on for years. He came to hate everything and everyone, and had all but lost faith in the notion of good until he had broken free from his captors and fled, saved by a single Elf who had just came across him. From then on, he saw that good actually existed, just that it took a long time to find someone who would show him it did.
From then on, he helped his Elven friend, promised that he would help him find his family again. Though he is assumed to be a bastard, barely capable of independent thought, it is often surprising to find that Derringer has a great deal of intelligence, just that he rarely speaks. He wasn’t sure if he was born that way, or if he had been altered by the testing and magics they had used on him so that he would be smarter.
In either case, he knew a friendly spirit when he came across him, and he sensed in Bertrand not just a faithful ally, but something deeper inside, something different from any other he would ever meet.
