Tor'ak

Tor'ak is an Earth Genasi/Fire Giant hybrid with Paladin and Wizard skills. He hails directly from the Earth Plane where he lived for 142 years before arriving in the Material Plane. Tor'ak stands at 8'6", towering over most who come near him. His monstrous figure is even more intimidating by the pulsing red veins that course with magma-colored blood, making him look like a walking volcanic rock figure. His eyes are fiery red, but they serve as a window to his soul and contrast the color in their somber nature - one that is calm, collected, and eager to serve the good-will of others.

Tor'ak has lived most of his life in the servitude of the Dao, rulers of the Earth Plane that tend to be greedy war-mongers, bent on their own happiness above all else. While little has been revealed, Tor'ak is known to have gotten away from servitude and made his home in the Cliffs of Creation, a portion of the Elemental Planes that borders the Earth and Fire Planes. Here he lived amongst the denizens from the two bordering planes that have escaped their lives of slavery to make a home here.

The people of the Cliffs have a strong connection with the elemental connections of the world, and used that connection to draw in more elementals lost or fleeing their old world. Ultimately, we know that Tor'ak met a Fire Genasi here by the name of Magnus Emberheart, through these means. Him and Tor'ak were eventually wed to each other.

Tor'ak and his people were ultimately attacked by ifreti, fire giants, and the Dao to take back their slaves that had escaped in what would be later called the Cliff Reckoning. Tor'ak was taken by the fire giants, while Magnus ended up being reclaimed by the ifreti, separating the two from each other.

Upon being taken captive, Tor'ak spent some time in slavery again, until he was taken to the Material Plane to be sold. There his captures met Queen Blythe who had a problem with the enslavement of Tor'ak and his people. She tricked the fire giants, and managed to gain the freedom of Tor'ak and the other People of the Cliffs, giving them a home in Blythetopia.
