Life in the Horde

The Horde treated Ortega well. At least everyone but Kakashi. Ortega took a disliking of Kakashi. He saw the evil in Kakashi's heart and did not agree with him in many things. He was reluctant to follow any of his orders. He would only deal with it because of Asos and Zeromaru; his close friends. For years Ortega battled The Pirates, Tear of Blood, and any outsiders under the command of the Horde. Ortega served in the Horde to the very end. He trained new members and drew his sword against anyone who would harm his comrades. Despite his hatred to his leader, he learned many skills and techniques from Kakashi.

The fall of the Horde

Ortega was heartbroken with the destruction he had brought upon the shire. He realized what he was doing was wrong. He also realized he was becoming the person he hated. More and more Ortega saw Kakashi in himself. For that very reason, Ortega wanted to leave the Horde. Just about he was going to leave, something terrible happened. Apparently Zeromaru and Kakashi were captured during an assassination and taken to an uknown location. This news spread amongst the Horde quickly. Many of their members disbanded. Asos decided to travel north to explore the lands of Neverwinter. Ortega was left as the only remaining member of the Horde. His blade now fights for himself.
