Fondue Zoobag

"Fondue hails from Earthscar Village, a haven for orcs, half-orcs, and other non-human races and 'rough' folks shunned by civil society. Along with the rest of the central trio, he is pulled into the quest to stop the Heralds of the Manticore's plot when the cult attacks Earthscar on the day of the centennial Restoration ritual."

Personality
Fondue is awkward and insecure, with abandonment issues stemming from his father leaving when he was young. He has low self-esteem, constantly doubting his abilities, and he is very sensitive, with a tendency to take things personally.

In his first appearance in The Quest Begins Fondue shows a cavalier attitude towards danger, suggesting that he doesn't take the threat of the Cultists seriously. He rushes into battle with confidence - though he achieves very little as his sword gets stuck in a tree. He only manages a successful attack when a Cultist stabs his friend and mentor Teflonto and Fondue kills the Cultist in response.

From this point onwards Fondue has a tendency to run away from frightening or difficult situations, possibly a result of witnessing his friend's murder.

Despite his frequently self-depreciating humour, Fondue grows in confidence throughout the series, learning to face his fears and accept himself as a gay half-orc.

Appearance
Fondue is a half-orc with brown hair, green eyes and grey skin. He is tall and broad with large pointed ears and a beard. He wears a yellow-brown tunic and grey boots.

History
Fondue's father left him when he was young but little else is known about his childhood.

He lived for at least a couple of years in Earthscar village, where he befriended Boneweevil and Teflonto.
