Richard Monire was born in the dense forests of Arcas near Helena, the capital of Oren. He lived in a small farming village, where he learned how to live off the land, hunt and survive from a young age. Upon reaching maturity, he left the village to explore Arcas himself. On his travels into the west, he was attacked by a group of orcs who left him and the party he travelled with for dead – an event which eventually fuelled his hatred for the orcs. With most of his party dead or gravely wounded, he made a detour to the Golden City of Ves for help. While there, he joined a small bounty hunting guild to build up money and connections. After a number of years with the guild, he had a good standing with it for his bounty hunting expertise and mercenary services.
In recent years, Richard has continued his line of work as a hunter and sword-for-hire. His life and experiences make him a fierce fighter and a wise teacher. His traditional and staunch views on authority and foreign races make him a prime target for strong factions and those same authority figures to persecute however.
