History
Gektor was born in the Southern Shadows of the Mootlands. Like most of the denizens of the Mootlands Gektor was brought up in a very harsh environment, where death was possible every waking second. To curb this reality, Gektor trained to hunt the large lizard-like beasts that patrolled his homeland. He also learned to fight against the other people in the Mootlands, as the practice of trophy hunting caused much infighting, and determined who could rule the lands.
Many years of toiling in these hardships lead to a decision by Gektor to join forces with the Thundering Hoots, a clan of Orcs dead set on bringing down the walls of Kingsburg and dominating a piece of civilization to the south, outside of the harsh system in the Mootlands. Gektor saw this as an opportunity to escape, as passage over the mountain range known as the Devil's Backbone was dangerous, and he would be seen as a coward and be captured if he expressed these ideas.
The attack on Kingsburg went poorly, as a large swath of the Orcs were killed, though not before toppling the northern gates of Kingsburg. Gektor was among those few captured, and he was moved to living in servitude at the Theron Salt Mining Company in the Drowned District of Kingsburg.
A few years later the effort to emancipate the enslaved Orcs had many a few small strides with the aid of Vor Ironhead the Speaker of the Hall of Voices, then just a senator. Gektor was allowed to live outside of the Salt Mine and among some of the other people in Kingsburg. It is after this time when he would meet Daiana.
Upon inquiring for a location where he could learn to read, and not being able to leave the Drowned Quater to seek the proper libraries, he was pointed to a small bookshop near his home. Here he met Daiana, a human woman originally from Exmoor, who moved to Kingsburg somewhat recently to open her shop and share her love of reading.
Daiana and Gektor very quickly developed a fondness for each other, after being taught to read Gektor returned everyday to share some time reading with Daiana, swapping stories about their lives, and within a year were in love. Eventually, this romance gave way to young Daitor (Dalton), which overjoyed the couple, but at the same time made their lives more difficult. They had to hide away the fact that they had a child for a long time, for fear of the repercussions Gektor could face.
