Mordecai was born to Caelynn Liadon and her orc husband Mord. He was raised in a loving home with both his parents and his twin sister. While visiting his family friend “Uncle” Romad, he meets with the half-gnome Selene Featherglade, who convinces him that they need to go on an adventure like their parents. She’s new to the Swords Coast, and needs some local assistance and drags Mordecai along to act as her guide.
