Krang was an orcish member of the Chaos Shamans that survived the Breaking.
Krang remembers little about the time before the Breaking. Only flashes of memories, images, words here and there, and feelings of confusion and pain.
There was the time he was a Chaos Shaman; the memory of Magestone dust entering the lungs still lingered. There were the words of the Council of the Void imploring him to give up his ways. Individually, the words were forgotten but collectively, the argument was convincing. The painful memories of the purging certainly remain. He was fortunate however, as otherwise the Breaking would have destroyed him. He was very fortunate, indeed.
In the years that followed, he was taught the magics by the best the Council had to offer. The most was made of his powerful orcish frame as his blunt but effective martial skills were perfected.
Now he has been sent forth to bring order to the lands of the Atlantean empire. He has turned his back on his Orcish brethren. His true nature has been disguised from the locals with the help of the Council, masters of deceit and trickery.
For the first time in years, he has a certainty within him. This he is sure about. This he can do.
