Huzzen OxHide

Chieftain

Born in a litter as most Goblin-kind are, Huzzen was one of the rare Hobgoblins to be birthed into the world. He was the only one to survive his litter as he had killed his siblings in the womb. By the age of ten, he killed the Chieftain of the Shadow Tribe and assumed the mantle himself. At thirteen he became the first Chieftain in a thousand years to subjugate the Goblin tribes under a single leader. At fifteen he assembled an army of fifty thousand and marched down into the Outlands from the Rook Mountains and began what would become known as The Scrabbler Wars. The Scrabbler Wars lasted from 2008-2015 and was the most successful campaign the Goblins had ever launched against the Outlands. Under his command, he successfully laid siege to the Towns of Wolve's Head and Murk. Razed the Town of Maw to the ground. Split his armies into factions to keep the Towns from uniting as he began to lay siege to the Founding Town of the Outlands, Devim Tonthak. His rampage was only stopped when the Woodland Realms came to the aid of the Outlanders and he was forced to retreat his armies back into the mountains or risk losing all of them. A massive towering figure, Huzzen stands out among his brethren and is often found leading his forces into battle. His cleaver-like axe seemingly able to pierce any armor or break a person from the force of the blow, the number of men that have died at his hand are too many to list. Such a large target has drawn many a captain or general to attempt to kill him, be it with cavalry, archers, or a strategic ambush, but all have failed. Many had managed to wound the Hobgoblin, but many also bear witness to arrows glancing off his person, blades breaking upon him, and spears that are unable to pierce his flesh leading to his surname of Oxhide. After having been forced to retreat back into the mountains, Huzzen has yet to muster his forces for another campaign even after twenty years. He does appear from time to time, leading much smaller warbands on raids against farmsteads and settlements, but these sightings only remind the Outlanders that he still lives, he watches, he plans, and he waits. Being the Grand Chieftain of the Goblin hoards though isn't an easy thing for the warlord. His brethren are simpler than him and only concerned about the present rather than the future. Unknownst to the Outlanders, Huzzen wishes to elevate his race above the pitiful violent mob that they've always been and had to be if they wished to survive. For Goblin-kind to thrive though, they need to retake the lands that had once been theirs. Lands rich enough to farm and a human populace to teach the Goblins how to tend it. After twenty years of patiently rebuilding his armies, painstakingly scavenging the weapons and armor to outfit them, and quietly observing the tensions between the Outlands and their rival human nation Amitean'alnuth, the time is near for him to lead a campaign that will bring an end to the human nation that has occupied Goblin lands for nearly four hundred years.
