Prelude
As the kingdoms of Men expanded, most non-human races are forced to surrender ground to them. Many tribes of Orcs took to the seas and settled on islands. Their natural violent tendencies lead many to raid the shipping routes for supplies and wealth.
Bartoloth was born on one such settlement, on the Island Verraco, in the city of Cochinillo. Bart is a born leader. Its easy to tell with orcs. Bart was born twice as big most babies. In his youth, he served on the pirate ship Bertha as quartermaster. It was finally captured by 3 spanish privateers, the Captain slain in melee and the prisoners bound for execution. During the night Bart broke the metal cage which held the few surviving crew and silently killed the entire Spanish crew. By dawn, the three spanish ships and Bertha was flying orc pirate flags.
Bart made himself captain of the largest of the spanish ships, which he renamed Good Stuf, and the other 3 ships were taken by the Bertha's Bosun and his mates. In the Spanish captain's journal and charts they discovered the new world which is said to be rich with gold and silver. Figuring any place with treasure is a good place for a fight Bart sailed to the new world with his crew.
Personal agenda: To be notorious both within the orc communities as well as in the kindoms of man. (and also to get enough gold to buy mum a nice piece of farm cause she suffered so to give birth to an abnormally large Bart)
