"Orfin th' Unkempt" orphan freebooter conception relative to not being tied down/ unbecoming (unprepossessing) as an ancestral legatee, out to seek his or her fortune.

Orfin's Runes= personal graffito as per Kilroy, trail markers as hobo signs, is a usage typical of D&D guidepost dungeon scrawls (and Gandalf's trademark), in contrast to the predominant ancient usage of commemoration emphasizing recognition and regard for someone else.
