Orc

Of all the faeries, perhaps barring the Little Folk, Goblins produce the least changelings. Fae experts say that it’s simply because they are quite hideous to most humans, that it’s outside their naturally psychopathic nature to raise a changeling, or because they simply don’t care for humans.

These are all incorrect.

Goblins, as a rule, breed hideous, misshapen changelings. But occasionally, there is an exception- a scion, a changeling who seems very human is produced.

An orc.

Orcs in their normal, “human” forms, generally look like their King- They have shaggy brown hair, and emerald-green eyes. They’re wiry and limber, built like blacksmiths. In their true forms, they are monstrous. The sclera of their eyes darken to midnight voids, and their pupil and iris turns a deep red. Their hair darkens to the same empty-night black. Shadows in the area twist and bend around their arms and feet, forming claws. They are faster and stronger than even goblins, and are just as quick to heal. They are intelligent and can work in packs. the existence of Orcs are one of the very few things that goblins cannot agree on, as their King refuses to rule on their existence. Some goblins feel that they are abominations, brought about by chance. Others think that they epitomize the race, and attempt to breed more. As only one in fifty unions produces a true orc, there are usually only two to three dozen in existence at a time. It’s unknown whether or not they breed true, but if they do, it will almost immediately inspire a cull-Nobody really wants an entire race even more murderous supergoblins running around. The Erlking uses them as an elite guard, his Huntsman. The ones closer to the mortal world generally hire out as spies and assassins to anyone who can afford their services-they have little or no moral scruples.


Musts
An orc must have a high concept that declares his nature as an orcish changeling (e.g. Half-Orc Hunter, Goblin-Blooded Hitman, Changeling Vigilante). In addition, the character must take all of the following powers.

Echoes of the Beast [-1] (Hunting Hound) Orcs can track by scent, gaining +1 to the Tracking trapping of Survival.
Cloak of Shadows [-1]
Glamours [-2]
Human Form [+1] affecting
Claws [-1]
Supernatural Strength[-4]
Supernatural Toughness [-4]
Supernatural Recovery [-4]
Inhuman Speed [-2]
The Catch [+4] is extreme physical harm, at least enough to produce a Severe consequence. GM adjudicates.  To quote the expert, “There are ways to kill an orc, but there are not many of them and anyone trying them out on a living orc is not going to have very much time to get it right.”


Options
Older or more powerful orcs may upgrade some of their abilities, increasing their Speed to Supernatural, and gaining Greater Glamours. Some orcs gain Beast Change, often to the form of a wolf or hound, and others gain Wyld Magic.

Noam Sayar was a warlock, but he tries not to let this dominate his lifestyle. He was born in Israel and raised by his father, who was a powerless occultist who was bitterly jealous of his magically talented son. Noam grew up, and into his talent, with bitter words and vile hate in his ears. Under his father's tutelage, he blithely enthralled and slew with a cult. The wardens were a little busy with a war for a lot of this time, so another agency dealt with the problem-
Heaven. Sanya was deployed into Israel, where he slew several summoned demons, mad cultists, and Noam's father. When he saw Noam weeping over his father's corpse, the Knight of the Cross hesitated. In this moment of hesitation, someone tapped Sanya on the shoulder. When he turned, there stood a rather unimpressive looking man in a janitor's uniform. the nametag read "JAKE". Nobody is sure what exactly happened in the building, but when the three left, Noam wore a white cloak, and bore the Spear of Longinus. Since then, he has acted as Uriel's Knight, The Spearman, whose role is befitting Uriel's role amongst the archangels- the black ops agent. Noam is the nameless paladin who appears, strikes down the demon, and vanishes without another word. He isn't without his shortcomings- He's forceful about attempting to convert people to "save their souls", and his Knighthood required him to set aside all of his sorcerous power.  Noam hasn't been the Spearman for long, and the lack of experience shows. He's better with Soulfire than he is with the actual Spear, and he isn't even very good with Soulfire.

He's not just someone with a silly name- He is THE Mordred. As in "Mordred FitzArthur Pendragon". He came about due to a union between a wielder of a Sword of the Cross and an elder sorceress of the White Court. In this campaign, Nimue's last name was Raith. She seduced Merlin, and upon realizing he was several orders of magnitude more badass than she thought beforehand, bargained with The Erlking for the power to bind him into the Crystal Cave. Due to the...unique way that elder sidhe seal bargains (think Harry and Mab here...) there's actually some question of whether or not he's a changeling born of the Erlking or the son of the Future King. Following his patricide, he retreated into the Shadowed Halls and lived with the goblins for a while. When he emerged, he was the Erlking's equivalent of a Sidhe Knight and a supernatural hitman.
