Orin: Difference between revisions

Orin was born to [[Sarevok Anchev|Sarevok]] and [[Helena Anchev]], as well granddaughter to Sarevok, who had had incestuous relations with his daughter Helena. Both Orin and Helena worshipped and loved Sarevok, though he mistreated and abused them.

When Orin was still a child, Sarevok secretly ordered Helena to kill her as an offering to the Lord Bhaal.{{ref|"What better offering to make to our Lord?" - [[Sarevok Anchev]] on Helena's attempted murder}} Desperate to become Bhaal's Chosen, Helena attacked Orin. However, Orin defended herself, and killed her mother instead.

Orin served Bhaal directly under [[The Dark Urge]], though the two were at odds on the correct way of offering to him. Orin believed that the Urge "mutilated" their victims, and what their Father truly wanted was beauty and consideration in the kill. {{ref|''[[Blood-Envy for the Unworthy]]'' - Orin}} The Urge on the other hand, understood that Bhaal only cared for the quantity of murder.

Yearning for respect and status, but dismissed by her fathers{{ref|"Cleanse the temple of Orin's girlish shrines and bring your primal slaughter back to Bhaal." - Sarevok Anchev}} and sibling, Orin waited for an opportunity to betray her kin and seize Bhaal's favour for herself.  

For a time, the Dark Urge was worshipped as a god at Moonrise Towers, but during or soon after a visit to the mind flayer colony beneath the towers, Orin finally saw her chance to betray them. Orin pierced their skull with a dagger and infected them with a modified illithid tadpole, making them the first [[True Soul]] and resulting in the Urge's amnesia. {{Ref|"'' How much the worm has feasted since I slipped it into its skull. All that plotting, the years of dominating this temple - forgotten''" - Orin in the Bhaal Temple confrontation}} She then left them in the Colony, later to be found by [[Kressa Bonedaughter]], or if the Urge is not the player character, tortured and killed them, keeping their corpse for herself.

Afterwards, Orin took the Urge's place as Bhaal's chosen and third spoke of the Chosen Three. Yet still striving for regard from Bhaal, Orin proved undisciplined in her role and disliked by the other Chosen.
