Background
As a boy Ratso lived in a small orcish village, and was constantly tormented by bullies because he prefered the simple joy of pottery (though he was very bad at it.. very bad) over the arts of war. As soon as he was old enough he fled his home to make a name for himself as a great artisan.. however as fate would have it he ended up being a sturdy warrior instead. When faced with a more skilled or confusing foe, Ratso tends to drop whatever he is holding and grapple his enemy.. not letting go until his foe is incapacitated or Ratso is told otherwise.

Ratso is a solid fighter, and I often used him as filler character when I couldnt think of something else to play. Good in a fight, but not great, Ratso is very hard to take down and was often duped into playing the role of canon fodder while the more skilled characters did the real damage.

Ratso is a pre-khaost character, so if he wasnt killed during khaost he is very, very old or died of old age.
