so here´s the background for the character i´m going to model. Concept art following soon. hope my poor english is understandable 
This race is called KOL-RATH. They are an ancient race with only a few living survivors. In further Ages, they were a proud but small race of warriors with highly ethical attitude. There only fault was to be a race of loners. Cause of their missing vocal cords they didn´t socialize with their neighbours and the distrust of the other races grew. Over the ages the fear and bad rumors grew that much, that a single incident was leading to a war against the noble Kol-Rath. They were nearly wiped out.
Only a few survived, full of hate and desperation of the things happened. The surviving Kol-Rath decided to leave the public of middle-earth and disappeared for ages.
Hundreds of years later, they came to new fame as feared Killers. They changed from honest warriors to machinating Assassins, operating from the Dark, working for everybody able to pay their prices. They are still Loners and nobody has ever seen two of them together nor knowing anything else than, it´s better to go out of their way. Some rumors say that the whole race has gone mad and is trapped between
their former ethical attitude and the injustice happened to them.
