The Whispering Tyrant
When Tar-Baphon came to recruit the orcs to his cause once again, many clans opposed him. Gruul led his people against the Whispering Tyrant's undead forces, hoping to show the others that he was worthy to lead them all. But Tar-Baphon was not easily dispatched, and his forces were as unrelenting as the orcs. The Bloodfang Clan was slain almost completely, with only Gruul Bloodfang remaining on his feet. He refused to die, but could only watch as the Whispering Tyrant left the battlefield. He would not remain for long. Such a slaughter proved to be an ample feeding ground for scavengers. They all scattered with the mighty black dragon Ilthane landed among the dead. When she saw Gruul dragging himself toward her with a dagger clenched between his teeth, she smiled and snatched him up. "You will do," she told the orc chieftain and flew off.Physical Appearance
