Once Sworn

You were once sworn to Baphomet, The Prince of Beasts.  ( Can be re-flavored for other evil-aligned beliefs.) 

You were born into a society of Baphomet worshipping minotaur. At some point growing up, you began to question your brutal heritage. As with all minotaur, you hold physical might, combat, personal challenge in high regard. Yet the you never truly felt at peace with the unneeded brutality of your people. You have forsaken the flesh of humanoids, and have chosen instead to protect living creatures, especially wildlife. Due to your odd behavior, you were chastised by your tribe. You were often challenged to fights of the death, others having seen you as an affront to their beliefs. This has made you hardy and a great combatant. Eventually, due to whatever circumstances, you chose to leave, and live a life of your own. Having not given up your bond with nature, your animal instincts, and The Hunt, you now choose to follow Silvanus, The Forest Father.
