Ukrom was introduced to the party consisting of Bob, Dog Cena, Thoradin, Hikaxe, and She Who Must Not Be Named upon their initial venture into the underdark. He was found suspended upside down in a small webbed off room, guarded by a pack of chitines led by a choldrith. After having been freed and offering his services to the party, Ukrom went on to crush the Dueregar beneath Glendarra, massacre the village of Irci, and assist in the closing of the well in Etinmere. Ukrom met his demise after the party returned from the fade for the first time and were sent to the city of Mel Shenshir. He fell in 1 on 1 combat against The Ashen One in the arena located within Hellhound's Farthing. His corpse remains within the party's bag of holding to this day.

Early Life

Ukrom was born to a clan of orcs out in the desert between Klurikon and Mel Shenshir. Having been born to an orcish mother named Vokash and a human father, Ukrom faced much harassment and bullying within his orcish clan for the first few years of his life. Vokash forbade any mention of Ukrom's father for the first few years of his life, giving him very little idea of the origin of his human half. It was not until Ukrom's eigth birthday that he received answers. As is customary for males in the clan upon turning 8 years old, Ukrom was tasked with defeating one of his peers in 1 on 1 combat to demonstrate his physical prowess. The clan, viewing him as anathema to their proud orcish heritage, pitted the chief's youngest son against him in an effort to discredit and remove Ukrom once and for all. Ukrom and the chief's son did battle with their weapons of choice in a fight that Ukrom was set to lose from the beginning.

However, his intellect compared to the rest of the clan coupled with his unbridled fury saw Ukrom defeat the chief's son in combat to the outrage of the rest of the clan. Finally feeling some pride in himself, Ukrom stepped forwards before the chief to recieve his offical assignment as a full member of the clan. Ukrom was instead kicked 15 feet backwards into the fighting pit, where the chief himself beat Ukrom within an inch of his life, spitting on his barely breathing body. "You will never be one of us", he growled as he returned to his tent. Vokash supressed her tears as she carried him back to their tent. Hours later he awoke, bloody and broken, and he asked his mother one final time with what little strength he had, "please tell me, i need to know who made me like this". Ukrom learned, much to the pain of Vokash, that his non-consensual conception was a result of a malicious man that had drugged her in Mel Shenshir. Vokash had joined a group of orcs from the clan for celebratory drinking within the city after having brough low a particularly massive sand worm. In her inebriated state, this man took advantage of Vokash's lack of awareness and unknowingly became responsible for Ukrom's years of social torment and Vokash's years of guilt.

Ukrom and Vokash decided it was no longer safe for him to remain with the clan, so he planned to wander out into the desert and continue on as a nomad. Vokash, fearing for his safety again, pointed him in the direction of a ruined city south of their orc stronghold where he might hunt and scavenge in safer ground and seek refuge from the elements within the structures that remained. Ukrom departed for Klurikon early the following morning and found himself reaching the city within the week.
