Even among the tribal villages, Oro, the Barbarian, had a reputation of being uncivilized. He was selfish, wild, and extraordinarily strong. At only sixteen he announced he would leave his village and venture into the wilderness, alone. For two whole years nobody saw or heard of him and they assumed he had finally met his match with the beasts of the forest. But he did return, no longer a boy, but a man, dragging behind him the carcass of a giant boar. By enduring the brutal trials of nature, Oro learned to be as savage and efficient as a wild animal, but maintain the ruthless cunning of humanity. And as a result, a true monster was created. One who had already mastered the wilderness, and had sights set on conquering much more.
