[edit] 1 History
Elgolas was born as one of the very first elves on Illarion in the woods in Brokevalley. He is more than 847 old. Since he was 94 he started to play the horn. It might be unusual for an elf to play the horn, though there was a reason deep within his mighty soul for his love to this pretty instrument:
One day as he wandered through the desert he stopped at a spring. Lots of flowers were all around, the water was blue and the plants green. He heard a voice coming from the plants to him. He knew in the moment he heard that sound that it was an orc who tried to hide in the plants. Elgolas has heard that that the orc must be 3 1/4 feet away from him and the back turned to him (he also had the idea that the orc might have had a cough recently, though, Elgolas was not absolutely sure about that). However, Elgolas did not hesitate. He jumped forward, made a somersault in the air and landed directly on the shoulders of the surprised orc. The orc grunted - as orc usually do in any situation they are in - and started to ran. Although the orc ran fast through the desert, he was not able to get rid of Elgolas who was still sitting on the orc's shoulders. After miles and miles of chasing, the orc fell on ground and did not move any more. Now that Eloglas was able to have a closer look at the orcs face, he saw something strange there: A scar, going from his left eyebrow over the forehead, down all around the nose, to his lips and ending at the left earlap. Eloglas was deeply shocked since Elgolas had exactly the same scar at the same place. And like the orc's scar, Elgolas' scar was only visible when he was exhausted and close to a relative at the same time. From this day on it was clear that Elgolas must be half elf and half orc. Elgolas took the horn from the dead orc and took it with him. From this day on he started to play the horn to always keep in mind that he has something of a not very civilised being in himself.
[edit] 2 Profession
Elgolas is a very decent warrior. He is nearly unbeatable with his two swords. He uses to fight with one firesword and one icesword, both with the marks of wind and earth. His parents gave the blades to him when they died with the words: "Always, son, always fight for go... *cough* ... ooood." Well, Elgolas never has understood if the parents were talking about doing good things with the swords or fight with them for the gods. It was not important anyway, since Elgolas always has done good things in his life and at the same time always has followed the rules of his gods, which are Moshran, Malachín, Sirani, Irmorom, Ronagan and from time to time Nargùn and Cherga.
When Elgolas is not fighting, he is in roaming through dark caves looking for something to fight against. And if he is not finding anything he can fight against he plays his horn, in the hope some dangerous monster might appear. If Elgolas is too tired to fight, he has another profession: Smithing. Indeed, Elgolas is one of the best smithes around. He has learned that between his 398 and 403th year of life, when he was so bored to do something else than fighting all day. However, today it sometimes happens that he goes into the workshop to smith something, but then he hits the hammer on some bread. Indeed, bread - since he is one of the most skilled cooks, too.
Anyway, now, that Elgolas is a very talented half-elf-half-orc, he is member of a kingdom. In fact, he is king of a land in the southwest of the island. Nobody lives there and nobody likes this region, consequently Elgolas is lonesome there for most of the time. That is why he tends to roam through the streets of the largest town on the island. This is the place he can show that he is the strongest warrior around. Well, once there indeed was someone passing by who was nearly as storng as he was. That was the day he decided to learn magic as well. That is why Elgolas is able to cast some illusions and make some teleporters - nothing special, obviously. As it is imperative for a mage, Elgolas only uses his powers when it is absolutely necessary.
Like the day when someone came to him and asked strange questions like: "Lol, that grfx suck roflmao". Elgolas thought that someone wanted to attack him, so he pointed with the tip of his finger at the stranger and burnt him. Pretty exhausted of this spellcasting he drank some blue liquid (though, he usually prefers the green and yellow ones; every day a handful of them) and walked to the depot. Aawww, finally he arrived. This is the place he can relax and cool down. So he did. He opened the chest and sorted some things. He kept standing there and roamed and searched and packed and unpacked all day long. Yes, this was the way he can relax. Basically, this is the secret behind becoming 847 years old. At the end of the day, however, he decided to close the chest, write some parchment on the town wall with the note that he was willing to sell some of the most rare stuff on the whole island just to make some coins - and to show that he was the most powerful elf in whole Illarion. Then he went back to his kingdom, into his large chamber in the fourth cellar floor to have a nap.
If you are looking for him: Go to some monsters and listen for the horn.
