Orcini

philosophically rigid lethally pragmatic ritualistically bound vengeance-driven professionally detached
Orcini is a philosopher-assassin whose self-image revolves around an idiosyncratic code of honor fused with lethal pragmatism. Once excommunicated from the Grand Order of Oberon, he clings to ritualistic symbols—ceremonial swords, medals, and obeisances—as a shaky mooring between purpose and damnation. His greying hair tied in a pony tail and leather attire mark him as a creature of Necros’s twilight economy, while his artificial leg serves as both physical reminder of past violence and metronome of calculated precision. He measures every alliance not by trust but by compensatory scrutiny, always poised to abandon associates when calculus dictates. For Orcini, violence remains a vehicle for personal morality: his vendetta against Davros is framed as satisfaction of his own moral ledger rather than rebellion or reward.
