Why would my character from the AD want to help the Orcs?

Struggling to lie to myself here for the sake of role playing so can anyone give me a hand realistically as to WHY on Earth would I want to help them?
Feel like Im paying £20 or whatever it is for the Maelstrom Arena only.

✭✭✭✭✭Scenario 1:
Because you're sympathetic to the struggles they've been through, the fact their home was torn down every time it was rebuilt. So you've decided to help them out, then resume normal conflict once the job is done.
Scenario 2:
You're a warrior. You enjoy fair fights and heavy battle, you're also extremely honourable. But how can you have a good war when Orsinium is in such a dire state? So you help them rebuild in the hopes they will put up a stronger fight.
Scenario 3:
You've got a soft spot for Orcs.2 -
Totalitarian✭✭✭✭✭My character certainly wouldn't help the Orcs. She'd roll her eyes and continue on with Altmer supremacy. That being said, it'd be very possible that she'd be sucked into helping them, and then end up helping to solve the problem.PC NA CP 531+

Dear✭✭✭One of my characters will take any opportunity to help people.
She doesn't enjoy fighting. She enjoys seeing solutions to issues.
The war never sat right with her. The orcs aren't enemies to her.
They're just people on the other side of political problems.
Another of mine will take any opportunity to get more money.
He doesn't care about anyone but himself, really, and he's sinfully greedy.
But he would pretend to head over to help if it meant something was in it for him.
There's also the exploration aspect. Getting to see a new part of the world.
Richter brings up a great point about spying out the enemy situation and land.

It get's better. A few times I was handing in writs to the Orisium Quatermaster he said that "These supplies will do well in Cyrodiil"...

^This. And also my AD char is more than happy to have a few Orc chieftains look on her favorably and/or owe her favors. After all, we know the Orcs are uneasy with their Breton and Redguard allies, and it only takes one misstep by Emeric or Fahara'jad to give the Dominion a chance to step in and say...
...hey. We saw your 'allies' aren't treating you very well. Want to be friends?
Then no more Covenant!

if you think about it AD is willing to help those in need, perhaps you are there to try and gain their allegiance for the faction or maybe you are spying on them?IGN: Ki'rah

✭✭✭✭It would help more if you tell us a bit about your character's personality and backstory so we can see how to work helping Wrothgar in there 3.
