Personality

Garmak is a very hostile being; he may flip at any second due to unknown reasons. He does not talk much, but when he does be sure it is to insult, slander or threaten someone. He hates every other race and so therefore is quite the racist to others referring to them as their slandered racial names than their real name (e.g. Long ears). After not seeing his brother for a while, he now only looks out and after himself, seeing everyone else as a potential threat. He will not think twice about attacking, due to such things he has spent many times locked up in the local prisons for brawling in inns or out in the street. He is not in senses “Full of himself” but he is always pretty sure he can best anyone and is willing to put his thoughts into action if challenged. He does however have a sense of honour, just his own form honour. If he wants to hold his word and says he does, he will. But even so that is to only people he trusts which in this day and age is only him.

History

Garmak was born into a small Orcish camp up, to his shamanic mother and his warrior father. At year zero the first war kicked off, Garmak’s father was whisked away to fight in the war leaving his mother to care for him. In this time she had tried to edge his childhood to revolve around the ways of the shaman, but a toy axe was his preferred way. Whisking and waving it about not caring if anyone else got into the way. Garmak’s father took a part in the assault of Stormwind, lead by Gul’dan, even though it failed.

Not long after Garmak’s father returned, beginning to train him or more beat him as part of training to become a warrior. It was going rather well despite Garmak’s young age, he had begun to understand the need in this training, but before it could progress. Blackhand the destroyer rallied the Orcs back to fight.

As the Orcs returned to lay waste on the humans, the elder warrior of the village had taken a liking to young Garmak’s determination and fiery heart, something the slightly older Orcs did not like. Although the elder trained him, the other child Orcs had begun to overpower him and batter him. Although this was a rough procedure, Garmak endured it all, taking it as training.

News arrived not long after that Blackhand had been slain by Ogrim Doomhammer and now he was the new Warchief. News was also bought that the village’s warriors had also taken part in the sacking and destruction of yet more human settlements including the city of Stormwind, great news to Garmak was that his father was actually making a name for himself out there, gaining the new title “Skullcrusher”

A couple of years later, Garmak’s father, along with the other Orcs of the village returned, Garmak’s mother had now given birth to Garmak’s fathers second child, naming him “Laktuk”. Although Garmak’s father never really took as much of a liking to Laktuk as he did with Garmak, he still tended to him and encouraged his first years around the life of being a warrior. Along with the warrior elder, Garmak’s father continued to hone Garmak’s skills. This encouraged the Orc boys to beat Garmak more, although now Garmak began to fight back, perhaps taking out three or four before being piled on and outnumbered.

His father never asked what happened, as he knew things like this happen. In year 6, Garmak’s tenth year into life the village, Garmak’s father along with the fighting classes of the clan were called once again to aid the Horde. Fighting a temporary battle in Southshore, then an ever tide-changing fight in Quel’Thalas, but eventually retreat.

Garmak himself was now a brute of an Orc, although always quite quiet. The Orcs who once beat him were now in turn beaten, heavily in “Sparring” sessions. He also tried his best to teach Laktuk in the ways he had been taught, including all the harsh beatings to toughen him up, his mother never approved of it, but said nothing in challenge.

Later within the year stories are heard that the Horde has eventually been destroyed and many have managed to escape back through the portal alive, however the portal itself had been destroyed. The clan never believed the story until few of their warriors returned, confirming the story. To shock and horror they begin to care for the wounded warriors. Garmak waited for days for his father to return, but saw nothing of him. After finally giving up he moved to the Warrior elder, his teacher, who begins to train him with this new feeling of upset and rage, teaching Garmak to hone it to his advantage.

Still only a year later, the Orcs had reformed themselves for yet another time and once again the clan found themselves sending their only just healed Orcs back to Azeroth to claim the artifacts by travelling through the newly opened Dark Portal. Garmak, although too young, had wanted to go, he was denied by the elder. Which only aggravated him further, but he accepted it reluctantly and carried on to fight and train still.

As the clans returned successful with the artefacts’ and were soon followed by the Alliance forces, Ner’zhul began to open his promised portals. Although it was more than Draenor could handle. Many of the remaining Orc clans including the one with Garmak rallied up to try and escape from Draenor, although they found themselves encountering the humans on the inside, planning to destroy the Dark Portal from the inside.

Garmak along with his mother, brother Laktuk and his elder of the clan managed to sneak around and pass in through the Dark Portal before it was completely destroyed. However once on the other side the Humans were waiting for them and all four were captured and taken to a internment encampment where most Orc were now being held.

Months passed, and more orc prisoners were rounded up and placed within the internment camps. As the camps began to overflow, the Alliance was forced to construct new camps in the plains south of the Alterac Mountains. To properly maintain and supply the growing number of camps, King Terenas levied a new tax on the Alliance nations. This tax, along with increased political tensions over border disputes, created widespread unrest. It seemed that the fragile pact that had forged the human nations together in their darkest hour would break at any given moment.

Several years later, Garmak now fully into adulthood, the Orcs lead by Thrall began to strike back, beginning to free the Orcs from there internment camps en mass. Garmak and his small party helped alongside Thrall and the new Horde to free their kin and finally they reached Durnholde. Although they won it has did cost the Orcs and Garmak. Although Doomhammer died and Thrall took over which is known by all, Garmak found that his elder of the tribe and his mother had died in the assault. Distraught at the loss of his mother, Garmak took his brother and left the New Horde before it had even hardly begun. Together they travelled to find their father.

Upon one of their encounters, they ran into a small clan of Centaurs, which bought round a brutal and savage fight between Garmak and Laktuk against the Centaurs. Eventually Garmak and his brother got the upper hand and defeated them, upon also killing the Khan of the clan, they gave themselves the name “Khancrusher”. However now they have carried on their search for their father.
