Biography
Jorikk Stormcloak is the eldest son of
Ulfric Stormcloak. He succeeded his father when only a mere 16 years old, but he proved himself a very motivated young leader. Jorikk is a son of his people and therefore one of the best horse riders of the
Westfork. He rides into battle armed with two axes that have cut the heads off many enemies.
As the
Kingdom of Gotha started to crumble after the
Assassin's War Jorikk looked inwards and strengthened his forces. Especially known for the formidable cavalry the Whiterun stables boast Jorikk proved a force to be reckoned with. He bided his time and eventually made his mark during the civil war of the
Kingdom of Corinth. Using the weakness of his opponents, Jorikk and his fast moving troops soon swarmed the country and took the cities of Augusteion and Thessalonikos. He made a deal with the
Windhelm Trading Company to provide most of the trade shipping in order to be less reliant on the indigenous traders and nobles.
What followed was a bloodbath amonst the Corinthian population. Leading to Jorikk being called the 'Lord of Horses and Chains.' In his old age Jorikk has grown reclusive and fat.
Skills
Jorikk is an excellent rider and warrior. He is a strategic mastermind that is well versed in turning the terrain against his enemies.
Personality
Jorikk is warrior pur sang. As such he cares for stories of heroism and valour and a good ale in the mead hall. This also leads him to have little pity on his enemies, especially those he deems weak.
Ideals
Jorikk seeks little more than glory in battle and prosperity for his family and people.
Bonds
Flaws
Jorikk can be extremely brutal, as attested by the people of Corinth.
Diplomacy
Jorikk relies heavily on the Windhelm Trading Company for income from trade. He also is, at least nominally, loyal to the High King of Gotha,
Holgunn I Strongborn.
