Race-Wood Elf Name-Selcar
Early life: grew up in the cloakwood forest of the sword coast. since the forest was very dangerous his father Emerin taught him many skills to defend himself if he ever had to. On one of his many hunts with his father and younger brother selcar accidently hurt his brother Harion mortally and Harion later died because Selcar and his father couldn’t get him help in time. After that there was some distance from selcar and his parents ,but his father still tried to reach out to him. Sadly years later is was revealed that Emerin was a thief stealing from the rich and poor for his own gain. Selcar didn’t couldn’t believe it. He went to run and tried to get his mother to come with him and she wouldn’t believe the charges on her husband. Selcar stayed
for his mother ,but the soon learned that authorities had captured and executed his father. His mother broke down and ended up burning down her home in order to end her life. Selcar barely escaped and he vowed and would make sure this would happen to any other family. No he travels helping all he can with his skills and hopes to atone for his sins and the sins of his father who he blames for the collapse of his family.
Personal Goals: Kill the Orcish warchief Grogmar- The Warchief Grogmar ended up killing Selcars team of rangers which included selcar's best friend and lover because of a tactical mastake of selcar's.Now 5 years later selcar is still hunting the Orc in order to avenge his fallen team. He learned of a possible connection between a group of Goblin raiders around Phandalin and Grogmar. He has now headed there to hopefully get any information on Grogmar no matter it takes.

I like it. You have given your character flaws, tragedy and lots of story.
In other words you've given your DM lots of material to work, which is always a good thing.
