Gui He was the son of an orc Earl, and though he was the eldest, his family did not favor him for two reasons. First, he never ate human flesh, finding it too cruel. Second, he liked to use a sword, a tool originally forged by elves and mass used in the military.
Such weapons were mostly delicate and tender, with a hint of using gentleness to overcome strength, which was ill-suited for orcs who favored brute force and bluntness. Therefore, orcs greatly disliked using swords as weapons.
Nevertheless, Gui He persisted in his preference for swords, and for that, he had been beaten countless times by his family. Eventually, when his younger brothers and sisters were born, the Earl simply abandoned Gui He, leaving him to his own devices, no longer restraining him.
To forge a long sword suited to his needs, Gui He traveled extensively within the orc territory, seeking craftsmen to create it.
