Orrick hails from New Gobi, and was previously of Gobi. Darius considers him to have always shown wisdom and trustworthiness. He was a promotional Phoenixborn in Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, but his original version has been retired, and for Ashes Reborn, he has been given a new version and a full deck in The Messenger of Peace. He reappears in The End of Argaia.
Orrick disappeared for some time, causing the Vermillion Council to believe he had vanished from the planet. His reappearance seems to have coincided with Jericho's visit to New Gobi.
His top priority has been to keep peace during the ever-raging war.
He was last seen in the trial of Rowan Umberend, as one of the Adjudicators.[1]
Orrick has a unique conjured alteration, The Awakened State, indicating his reaching of a higher power. His other conjurations, the Ruby Cobras and Ash Spirits, are able to survive the deserts of the Gobi region.
“The Phoenix cannot bear the strain of its fractured soul, but I would urge you to resist. I have walked the flow of time and I tell you now, our future is our past. We must be united as we once were, for our great task is not yet complete!” in a letter to his Phoenixborn siblings.
