Da Orc, known to his tribe as Grolth the Shackled, is a druid orc whose life has been marked by both the freedom of nature and the harshness of captivity. At forty-two winters old, his gray, long hair falls in tangled strands over his broad shoulders, a testament to the years spent in the wilds and under the yoke of oppression. His skin, a dull gray, is marred by dirt and adorned with intricate white tattoos that tell tales of his connection to the earth and the spirits. These tattoos, symbols of his druidic vows, contrast starkly with the heavy iron shackles that bind his wrists, a reminder of his enslavement by human invaders who sought to harness his powers for their war efforts.

Grolth's attire is a blend of nature and necessity; he wears a leather armor intricately detailed with leaves, symbolizing his bond with the forest. His strong build is a result of years of both combat and the labor forced upon him, yet his eyes, a deep green, reflect a spirit unbroken by his chains. His unique quirk is his habit of whispering to the plants around him, a practice that not only calms him but also subtly influences the growth of the flora, a testament to his druidic abilities.

In the world where orcs are often seen as mere beasts of burden, Grolth dreams of returning to his tribe, to lead them in reclaiming their ancestral lands and to live freely among the trees. His captivity, however, is a constant barrier, and the human captors view him as too valuable a tool to release. Yet, Grolth does not succumb to despair. He uses his druidic powers to subtly sabotage the efforts of his captors, causing crops to wither and tools to rust, all while planning his escape.

His efforts bear fruit as the land around the human settlement begins to reject them, forcing them to move and inadvertently aiding Grolth's escape. His journey back to his tribe is fraught with danger, but his connection to nature guides him safely. Upon reuniting with his people, Grolth leads them in a series of guerrilla attacks against the human settlers, slowly reclaiming their territory.

The conflicts in Grolth's life are manifold: the struggle against his captors, the challenge of leading his tribe, and the internal battle to maintain his druidic vows amidst the call for vengeance. His story ends with him as a revered leader, yet always mindful of the shackles that once bound him, both literally and metaphorically.
