He's agile for his size, a trait that's coming in handy as he picks up the skills to be a proper scout and hunter. While not a particularly skilled fighter yet, his strength and agility combine with the fact that he isn't afraid to fight dirty.

Appearance

Usual Garments/Armor: Dorgoth typically wears close-fitting, though light and flexible, pants, shirt, boots, and gloves of leather.

Other: He carries around a short axe and a bow on him. His body is fairly heavily tattooed over the years, mostly covered in symbols of his clan and the Horde. He's fairly burly, but also more defined as he is a bit swifter on his feet than his size would suggest.

Personality

On his best days, Dorgoth is brave, loyal, and determined. On his worst, he's brash, stubborn, and arrogant. He's a man with many flaws, and still too young to have overcome them all. He is an orc, through and through, and has embraced his people's virtues and flaws, for good and for ill.

His past experiences have left him something of a zealot for the Horde's goals, despite the much harsher course that his faction has taken under Garrosh's leadership. He has a vehement hatred for the races of the Alliance, especially humans, night elves, and dwarves. Though he understands the concept of the neutral organizations, this doesn't stop him from expressing extreme distrust towards any Alliance-affiliated racial members of such organizations, though he is not out-right hostile to them as he is to those flying Alliance colors.

For all of his faults, he nonetheless takes his honor seriously. He's brave in the face of danger and can be incredibly loyal to those that get close to him. Of course, getting close to him may be a challenge to some in itself. He's incredibly difficult to shake from his path, and it may take some time before he can fully mature.

History

Another of the newer generation of orcs raised in the camps, his stay was a relatively uneventful one. Certainly, the poor memories of the squalor and terrible conditions of the camps were reason enough to kindle his distrust of the Alliance, but there have been others who had things worse than he did. He remained with his family and siblings, part of the remnants of the Bleeding Hollow clan, for his entire stay until everyone was finally freed.

Too young to take part in the Third War, and just beginning to learn to fight, Dorgoth stayed out of those battles. He instead worked as much as he could with the establishment of Orgrimmar and training himself for combat. A strong young man with a certain amount of promise, it was presumed that he'd one day become a grunt. By the time he passed his Om'riggor, the war had already ended and there had been a period of peace for the orcs, save for the border skirmishes.

Dorgoth found himself training more for grapples and punches than out-right war. His size, but still fair amount of agility, lent his talents well to the fields of wrestling and brawling, things he was more than happy to take to. He sparred with the occasional grunt within the city, but his fighting became more for the crowd than for war. He became a professional wrestler and brawler, of sorts.

Memories of the camps, as well as the ongoing tensions with the events concerning Outland and Northrend, had made Dorgoth on-edge, though. He took part in neither, as his non-military role left him uninvited for the war efforts. He found himself busy with his work instead. Yet, his resentment for the distant "Alliance" and their growing hostility rose. Already distrustful of them, that distrust turned to out-right hatred when it became clear that the Alliance would offer no assistance for his people when they needed it most: as the drought came and Horde were starving with no sign of outside help.

Then Garrosh took the position as Warchief. Dorgoth was never sure what to make of that decision until war began...a war he grimly felt was altogether necessary. Though he still did his training, he was now ready to see his skills put to use in something more useful. Dorgoth has moved on to support the Horde war effort, where his agility has led to him beginning training to be a scout. While still new, he is taking his role with no small amount of enthusiasm.
