Appearance & Personality

Golgren is a giant himself, standing a massive 8'5" towering above most humanoids he's encountered. He is bestial looking and his yellow eyes show his remedial intellect and primitive instincts. Golgren wears his shaggy hair long and unkempt, a tangled mess of oily, stinking blackness. One of his tusks protrudes sharply from his bottom lip, constantly causing him to drool or slurp it back in. The other tusk is broken from his violent past. Scars cover much of his body, from the ritualistic torture of his father to the lash of his stablemaster

Golgren speaks little in social interactions, having very little confidence in himself as he always finds he's confused when people speak. Also, Golgren knows the stigma & prejudices his race brings with it and has grown accustomed to the scorn heaped upon him by the average person. Golgren is very protective of his companions, previously his tribesman, then his stablemates. (I know a half-ogre with confidence issues...)

Major abilities and Tactics

Pretty simple. Close to Melee, engage the enemy, draw their attacks.


Background

Golgren grew up in Drooam with his father's tribe of ogres, he never knew his mother as she'd died giving birth to him and knew only his father's brutal upbringing. As the next in line for chieftain, Golgren was constantly being drilled to be the strongest, heartless, most brutal of the young ogres. Hating his life, Golgren knew he was trapped because his father would never let him escape alive. Once the sisters of Sora Kell arrived in Droaam and his father refused to abdicate his position in their powerful tribe, Golgren saw his chance. When he knew the sisters' army was approaching, he snuck away in the night and approached the enemy offering an exchange, Golgren would provide information to them in exchange for allowing him to leave. They agreed, but once they had the info they needed the enemy overwhelmed him and placed him in chains. He was hooded for a long while after that and placed on a ship traveling for a while, seeming longer stuck in his tight cage meant for a smaller creature.

Golgren was sold to a greedy stablemaster who licked his lips when he saw the half-ogre. He was trained in the use of many weapons and armours to prepare him for the time ahead. Golgren spent many months battling in the Red Ring and quickly grew a strong reputation as one of the most feared of the bloodbounds. This reputation worked against him though as Golgren often found himself the target of enemies sabotage and his stablemaster was forced to put him in more and more dangerous matches to keep the crowd interested. Knowing it was only a matter of time before he perished, Golgren managed to gain a meeting with his stablemaster and slew him and his guards. Grabbing what wealth he could from the dead man's belongings, including his armaments(which were kept away from him except during battles), Golgren ran off into the city. He purchased some supplies and gear for the time ahead and struck out on his own into the jungles of Xen'Drik, hoping he could finally live for himself and not under someone's shadow.
