Born in 1612, Sea Seaon, Disorder Week, Freezeday, Korin was the first child of his parents, who were bison herders. At the time of the Lunar invasion of Prax, his tribe mustered their warriors to fight the moon-worshippers, yet the Khan of the tribe decided to leave Korin behind to help watch the herds and protect the women and children and elderly of the tribe. This event left Korin severely dissapointed and longing for adventure and excitement and test of arms. However, Korin served faithfully, aiding his tribe and the chief shaman. For this he was rewarded with the knowledge of a powerful strengthening magick and so became known as "the Strong".
Korin has one motto, derived from the Bison Tribe: "Strength used wisely is devestating to your enemies, strength used foolishly is destructive to the tribe."
Korin served the tribe as appointed for some time. Yet distant rumours of wars and adventures seems to pre-occupy him. When the time came to muster the forces for the Battle of Boldhome, Korin desperately wanted to go and fight, but his Khan once again told him to stay behind. Korin obeyed, but when a group of Orlanthi passed by a few years later on their way to Pavis, Korin abandoned his tribe and eagerly accompanied them. The subsequent year he was initiated into the Cult of Orlanth and did some minor temple duties. Korin found Pavis to be stifling and spent much of his time in bars and other temples looking for the adventures he was so desperate to take part in.
Like all Bison People, Korin respects physical strength and hates Chaos. His goal is to become a great warrior and renowned adventurer.
