Kortakh
Chieftain of Gordoroth (a.k.a. The Maimed, The Broken, The Fixed,)
Kortakh came to power after he hunted down the former chancellor Crowran The Vicious and challenged him to Karth'pa combat. Tales say that within 10 seconds of the combat starting it was over. A single faint and swing and Crowrans head rolled down the palace halls and unto the streets. He rules with respect and fairness. He is the longest-reigning chancellor to not be challenged to a duel.
Kortakh started his life as an orphan in the streets of Galvar Gordoroth. After years of torment and barley scraping by he managed to get a job as a bouncer for a crime boss, which he quit because of the amorality of the ordeal. He then started selling the meat he hunted by the outskirts of the forest. After a few years of this, he managed to take the place of one of Crowran's guards, but only a few weeks in he was accused of stealing silverware and stealing in orcish culture is worse than murder, for stealing is not honorable. He was sentenced to death. He was taken out back in the forest to be executed by two other guards, but he managed to break free of their grapple and kill them both. He then took one of the dead guards' axes and took to walk the palace steps finding Crowran feasting on Tula berries and Turkey. He challenged Crowran to a trial by combat in which he lost horribly and was exiled from Galvar Gordoroth.
Kortakh trained in a monastery called the Exalted Uthos where he stayed for many years until one day deciding to head back and challenge Crowran once more. This time the story goes as legends tell.
