Ogrek is a half ogre brought up as an orphan in a mountain village by the local witch (which has left him a legacy of corporeal magic and a little ritual) his nickname 'Posh ogre' comes from the witch bringing him up to talk proper like.At 15 he joined the local army for fame and fortune, here he got considerable experience in womanizing, drinking, gambling and not getting killed.Rather the richer he returned to find giants terrorizing the village; destroying them with help from some adventurers he had fallen in with he settled down as Baron of the area, married and had four children.20 years later, his fortune almost spent, he embarked on a trading trip only to have his ship sunk by the Inquisition (enemies of the Nomad people).Washed ashore on to him an unknown continent he was befriended by House V'lentum a nomad tribe and for a short while fought with them against the Inquisition, but traveled to the great Renewal of 99 to seek passage to his old home. However no one knew where his home continent was and short of hiring a ship and crew to search for it he had no way of getting there.But by this point he had met the Wolves, a group whose lifestyle reminded him much of his old army days. Initially he joined them as a mercenary but felt more at home with each passing day. The final push came when the authority and wisdom of Odin cleared his name in an incident regarding Doppelgangers, he asked to be and was formally adopted into the Norse faith and is now truly wolf.His loyalty and military experience has since been recognized with a promotion to Sergeant within the White Wolves and the Post of diplomat to the Lions (gaining lesser noble rank from the lions in a treaty); in battle he organizes the skirmish unit working closely with the increasingly noted White Wolf archery squad.His favorite pastimes are still womanizing, gambling, drinking and not getting killed.
