[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8672957, member: 59816"] A little more on him: Ghorrak came to Chult with the Red Wizards of Thay, as a bodyguard. He's been raised, trained, and "programmed" to sacrifice himself to protect Red Wizards. The party loosely allied with some Red Wizards, and one of them "lent" him to them, telling them that he was "obedient". Now, Red Wizards tend to LIE. The way I've always seen him, is such a strong-willed orc that he never let all that "programming" break him. He plays along to avoid punishment, but he's a lot tougher (willful, I mean) than he seems. "These chains WILL break", is how I see him. Does that make him a good guy? THAT would be entirely up to you. I can tell you that he enjoyed watching the last Red Wizard fall in a pit trap and die. (Though you can retcon any of that if you like, it was almost all in my head). He hasn't shown any magical abilities (AND he's currently poisoned) but I'm not against him having some secrets. He should be able to defend a nearby ally, though. It would be weird if he couldn't. [/QUOTE]
