Born the son of a prostitute and an unknownable father, Ortho had a rough childhood. He rarely had enough food, and certainly didn't have any attention or affection. He only got a hint of affection and education when he turned about ten, when it became clear that he was capable of unusual levels of violence but also had a hint of street smarts about him. He was taken in by a small band of mercenaries who wished for him to be a messenger while they showed him how to use blades, read and write.

One of those men, Silent, a mute knife thrower, began to mentor Ortho, and it became clear hev had an instant affinity to throwing knives. With no training he rarely missed a target, and when he came of age he had an unnerving habit of simply willing the blade back in his hand. Silent kept his secret quiet, insisting through his own form of sign language that it could not be shared with the world. When the band was short of money Ortho and Silent often became street performers, juggling knives and throwing them at each other or an assistant. Their rarest trick was Silent standing in between Ortho and a target, and Ortho bending the blade around the man.

The mercenary band, the Black Hats, ran into a spell of bad luck when Ortho was in his early twenties, and he was the only survivor of a fierce battle when the band came against a much larger group of bandits. Ever since he has been an independent mercenary, rarely throwing his hat into larger conflicts. Instead when he needs money he gambles, acts as a street performer, or if he is really desperate, an assassin.
