Balmond

Balmond is the leader of the Orcs, leading the Orc army against the invasion of the Demons. During a battle, he consumed the blood of a Blood Demon and went into a rage. This aroused Alice's interest, so she signed a contract with Balmond on the condition of returning the Stormeye Wasteland. Balmond, and his Orc army have since fought for the Demons. The Orcs are a race with a long history and perhaps the most common of those in the Land of Dawn. Throughout the mists of time, they have served under Lord of Abyss as they fought throughout the fierce of Endless War; and also engaged mankind in savage battle during the Golden Era. A series of successive defeats left the once strong United Demi-humans divided instead into Orcs, Minotaurs, and Centaurs, among other peoples.

Despite all this, it seemed fate had not yet finished toying with this ancient race.

To this end the young Balmond not only trained relentlessly, but also dedicated himself to studying all kinds of ancient Orc tomes, which gifted him with an astute strategic knowledge. But this was when the flames of war were just beginning to kindle. In order to amass the strength required to attack the Empire, the terrible demons invaded the Orc tribes tirelessly, plundering and pillaging their resources causing the Orcs unspeakable suffering.
