Many decades ago, Tarantalus was an acolyte of the prestigious Orc tribe known only as The Talon. One fateful night he was assigned to explore a newly discovered cave complex in the lair with a group of Talon Warriors. A cave-in occurred, trapping the group in the caverns without hope of rescue. There, Tarantalus met, and formed a bond with, the resident of these caverns, a huge spider, larger than he had ever imagined could exist. The creature was intelligent, and possessed a magical power that Tarantalus was able to tap into. Over the next few weeks, the spider picked off the terrified Orc Warriors in its web one by one, and shared them with the Shaman. Once this grisly food source was extinguished, the spider allowed Tarantalus to feed on its own blood and venom. The Shaman continued this existence for some 30 years, and over this time transformed, growing 6 additional eyes, and mastering the arachnid flavor of dark magic imparted on him by his new patron. Then, a series of tremors wracked the caves, crushing the gigantic spider, but opening up a way for Tarantalus to escape. Shortly thereafter he became the trusted Shaman of the Blackfang Orc tribe, and has used his abilities to bestow special powers on the tribe’s boss, Blackfang himself.
