Orm

Orm likes marauding, reading the collected works of Rotigus' plague prophecy, and spreading blight.  He hopes to someday visit the Garden of Nurgle.  He was raised in a Nurgle worshiping tribe with kind and loving parents who lavished him with wonderful diseases and plagues; but it seems that fate had something else in store for him.

When Orm was 6 years old, he suffered a brief period of health.  He was playing, and fell into a rejuvenating Koula nectar flow.  Mysteriously, overnight, he was cured of all of his pox and weeping sores.  His wounds healed and his pallid flesh gained a healthy vigor.

Orm's parents didn't know what to do.  They took him to the foulest wise-men in Ghyran searching for a cure to his wellness.  Eventually, when they were nearly at their wits' end, they were referred to Wex, who at that time was but a young Alchemyst, still an apprentice, but already highly reputed for his delightful brews and splendid restoratives.

Wex was mortified by the boy's condition, and took it upon himself to restore Grandfather Nurgle's gifts by any means possible.  With some work, Wex was able to return the pallor to Orm's flesh, and in time even the weeping buboes began to sprout anew.  Though Orm still requires regular treatments, he has grown to be one of Wex's most trusted and indispensable allies.
