Physical Description
Brahgo isn't quite as big as his orcish half-brothers, but he's still head and shoulders above most of most other humanoids. Despite his size, however, he is still a bit gangly and lanky, with the air of a boy who hasn't quite realized he's started to grow out of his awkward phase. He keeps his dark brown hair clipped relatively short, and his gray green eyes are only a few shades removed from the color of his skin.

Notably, he bears a long, jagged scar over his eye and a thinner one across his nose, both results of brawls from his childhood.

Personality
Brahgo practically exudes confidence and a vibrant love of life. He speaks his mind without fear and refuses to apologize for what he believes. If that sparks a conflict, he's more than ready to face it.

Beneath that surface though, Brahgo is incredibly insecure. He feels the constant pressure of his father's eyes on his back night and day, no matter that the man is dead. His only real solace is with any animal companions he might find- lately, that typically means stray cats and dogs. If left to himself and his furry friends, his confident exterior fades away to reveal a soft-hearted dork.

Magic/Abilities
Beastspeaking and shapeshifting.

His shapeshifting abilities are actually why he sought out an education at Wyrdwood, hoping that he could learn to better control and utilize this rather volatile power.

Relationships
His old roaming band, though he's not in contact with them much anymore.

History
After the death of his wife, Dragus Ironjaw took to the custom of keeping around a concubine or two- but only one of those unions resulted in a child, though unfortunately at the cost of his mother's life.

Feeling that his birth had killed his mother was a weight Brahgo felt since he could understand the concept of guilt, despite the fact that his father and older brothers rarely spoke of her. He was raised to be a warrior, like them, but even at an early age it was clear that his true skills lay in the magic he'd inherited from his unknown mother.

Through necessity more than anything else he learned to fight both with his hands any with a variety of heavy-handed weapons, and he learned to carry himself like a warrior, if a cheerful one.

Like many members of an orcish raiding band, Brahgo's father died in battle. Though grieving, Brahgo realized that with his father no longer around to protect him- even to the small extent that he'd been doing so- the rest of the band could turn on him easily. He resolved to hone the talents his family had long dismissed, and set out to find a teacher.
