Borok is a middle aged tauren, but is wise far beyond his years. He is quick to act, but always takes enough time to think the problem over. Borok will nearly always be the first into the combat and the last out of it. He is a fighter by nature, but a tribesman at heart.

Borok will do whatever is best for the Tribe, putting his own needs second under the needs of the Tribe.

History

Borok was born to the chieftain of the Darkhoof Tribe, Hummak Darkhoof, and one of the shamans of the tribe, Jarmka Darkhoof. Borok was treated like a miracle, he was the first born of Hummak Darkhoof and he knew it. His mother died at a young age, and Borok never got to know her.

Borok was quickly put into training with his fighting tutor, Gurmak. Gurmak was a brute of a tauren towering over most of the tribe. Although he was strong he wasnt smart. He was argumentative when he was given a boy for a student, but was knocked into submission by the Chieftain's words.

Borok was making good progress, he was learning how to fight, and be faithful to the Earthmother. Time passed quickly, with Borok learning much every day. Before long Borok came of age. He took the Right of Kinship and passed with flying colours. The whole tribe was proud of how succesful their soon-to-be chieftain was doing. Borok's father was the most proud of his son. Hummak had been busy with the tribe responsibilities, and had not been able to spend too much time with his son.

As soon as Borok had rested after the Right of Kinship, his father quickly took him away. Borok had to learn how to lead a tribe, the ancient way of being a tauren Chieftain. Borok spent much time with his father, learning how to become a Tauren Chieftain.

Borok had learnt how to become a Tauren Chieftain, his father had taught him well. But, his father was dying, Borok knew he would have to take charge soon. The day came, Borok was called to his father's tent. Hummak was surrounded by several shamans. He looked more ill than ever before. Hummak pulled his soon close, before muttering his final words. 'Do me proud.. my son'. Words that would stay with Borok for the rest of his life.

Borok made a trip to where the grand chief was, and swore his alligence to the Grand Chief. Borok knew his tribe was a small one, and it would have a better chance with the Grand Chief.

Before long after swearing allegiance to the Grand Chief the third war broke out. The petty races squabbling again, Borok thought. But the Grand Chief was now allied with the horde, and the Darkhooves were pulled into the battle. The Grand Chief called together all the tribes fighters. The Darkhooves were marching to war.

War was never a good place, and it didnt treat the Darkhooves well. Borok never liked war, but knew it had to be done, a alliance with the Grand Chief is worth to much. A few Darkhoof Tribesman died, and Borok took it personally. The tribe went home, back to their camp, but many didnt. Borok swore that day that he would be a better chief and lead his Tribe to greatness.
