=Overall Appearance=

This orc is a stocky, brutish looking young male rogue whose battle scars on his face, arms, and back belie his age. He also carries several tattoos, not all immediately noticeable except for the falcon tattoo on his right shoulder and without something to cover his chest, also visible is a large tattoo of angel wings across his back. Peregrine only has three piercings and they are all small looped silver earrings on the upper area of his right ear. His nose is a bit more humanlike than a normal orc's, as well, but is a beastial looking orc in general.

His physique- while muscular- is more of a bearish frame than one would typically expect from a rogue. He normally seems to stick to swords or axes for his weaponry, which one would use to further the evidence that Peregrine is more about strength than subtlety when it comes to his combat prowess.

Adding to his gruff appearance, he dons a full beard and long dark hair. Between that and the thick sheen of hair on his arms, it would be safe to assume he has never taken liking to a razor before. The skin underneath that fuzz is rough though a light green; a good enough sign of his youth in that his entire body isn't littered with scars.

The hair atop his head actually trails down to the middle of his back, oddly long for an orc. He often smells like a mix of sweat, wildflowers, and a scent that another rogue would know to be of poison. It doesn't smell as though he makes a daily routine out of bathing.

His combat gear and casual wear are usually similar, the orc preferring darker colors both in and out of combat. The primary difference is the quality of the clothing- in combat he never strays from his leathers, though he tends to put on lighter, more comfortable clothing otherwise.

Also noticeable without his leather gloves are several ornately jeweled rings which almost seem out of place on his person. However, if one were to see him punching some poor sap for getting him angry, they would quickly realize that being punched by such large fists is far from pleasant; with the rings, it is a nightmare.

As savage as Peregrine may look, however, he is intelligent and articulate- almost surprisingly so. At the same time, he can also be offensively concise depending on the kind of company he finds himself in though he tends to shy away from crowds whenever possible. Because of this he is often seen by himself enjoying his peace and quiet. whether it be while fishing or mixing alchemic materials.

=Personality=

It would be an understatement to say that Peregrine isn't an easy orc to get along with. He typically prefers his time spent alone and as a result, he can initially come off as short, rude, and offensive. However, this doesn't make him impossible to talk to. He acknowledges any stranger with the same amount of faint interest if one were to approach him; from there, depending on how much this stranger annoys him, he could either hold a non-hostile conversation, or be a total asshole. The easiest time people have with getting to know him are the types who are willing to treat him respectfully and cautiously; someone who either comes off as eye candy or at least has visually intriguing magic tricks usually gets extra attention -- or at least a leer or two. He's typically stern with elves and humans, to a point where if one becomes loud with him, he could very easily become violent. As a bisexual male, he will also make the occasional crude remark to men he despises, if he were to believe that it would get under the other's skin.

=Nicknames=

The Axe Murderer - A nickname given to Peregrine not long after his first official contract had been completed; as the name suggests, he murdered a dwarven patrol unit with a pair of axes, to a point where the casualties could not be identified. Despite this giving him the reputation of 'The Axe Murderer', it would turn out to be the contract he is most ashamed of to this day, on account of the sloppy, careless nature of the act. It would mark the first of only three contracts in which he used axes before making a permanent switch to wielding daggers.

The Orcish Zombie - Possibly a bit misleading to some, but this nickname refers not to Peregrine's physical state, as he is very much alive. Instead, 'The Orcish Zombie' was a nickname created during a battle in Alterac Valley long after his time in The Company had been up, a reference to his ability to endure great amounts of physical punishment while relentlessly moving forward.

=Early Life=

Though born of warrior parents, it didn't take long for Peregrine's life to grow more complex than anyone in his family could have anticipated. He was taken into slavery by a group of human men after his mother and father were both slain (presumably by the same men). It was in their custody he had been kept for a short period of time, until he would be auctioned off to an organization known simply as 'The Company'; a mercenary guild comprised of races not exclusive to The Horde. He spent the first couple of years in this organization as a mere apprentice, learning the trade of the rogue while being forced to share a room with a fellow recruit of his age. Once he was ready to start killing in the name of The Company, he had gone on a string of murders, killing off men of any race asked of him; of either faction; with the promise of one day being given the opportunity to get vengeance on the men who killed his parents.
