Bio:
Gorruk was the chieftain of the Bloodflame clan of orcs based in the ruined city of Karsk. He was known as a bloodthirtsty and eccentric orc. He was fascinated by humans and their tales. He was killed in his sleep by Mõrvar Ulrich during a rescue attempt to retrieve the sage Mandreth Kerendal, who Gorruk kept prisoner because the sage was able to amuse him with tales from history and legend.
