The very which Orion first took place though I must admit he not named Orion then it's when he first meets the dark lord is in Ben bova's (as on darkling plain) as this book is the precursor to who Orion became.
Thanks, Danny, that's a good pointer. As on a Darkling Plain, from 1972, is usually listed as a standalone, but it does read as a loose precursor, so anyone who wants the very beginning can start there. The numbered series begins with Orion in 1984.
