Background
Fang was born in an orc clan, the child of a human slave the clan had captured. His mother died shortly after he was born. He was bullied and abused as a child, but he accepted his fate until he had the chance to kill his father while he slept and escape. He found acceptance in a mercenary army, where he sharpened his fighting skills. He became part of a special strike force used to quickly dispatch an enemy general or captain. He was forced to retire after being seriously wounded in the leg by an archer, and still limps slightly.

He moved to Paradise and quickly became known as someone not to mess with, which caught the eye of the sheriff, a female half-orc named _____. They had a son, Hofar. The mother died after ________ and Fang decided to become the sheriff in her memory. While maintaining order in Paradise Fang typically wears carries Hooktooth, a shortbow and his studded leather armor, but he keeps his heavy armor well-maintained at home in case of emergency.

Traits
Unprejudiced: Fang is open-minded and treats everyone extremely fairly, regardless of race. Has a soft spot for orphans, outcasts and those who are exploited/picked on by others, and has no patience for those who victimize these people.
• Military Man: Genuinely likes Paradise and its people, but misses the excitement and strict rules of the military. As a result, sometimes gets annoyed with silly (in his mind) disputes and squabbles. Still uses military slang. Sees warriors and Hoof-Bite's friends as his new "peers."
• Proud Father: Unashamed of Hoof-Bite, despite his son's mental state, but is frustrated that he is unable to help him overcome his disability. Has taught Hoof-Bite how to fight well so that others will not pick on him (not really realizing that few would pick on him anyways, since Hoof-Bite is enormous) Appreciates his son's friends, as they are able to defend Hoof-Bite when Fang would feel bad doing so (against youths, for example).
