Personality

Tazzek is an old, rotten troll who has issues. He is abusive, and takes joy in the suffering of people. A slightly conservative troll, Tazzek is doing his best to raise his daughter right so one day she can pass on the family mojo to children. Deep down he would have preferred a son, but knows he can no longer spread his seed. He is devoted to keeping his line going, and would have considered himself a failure if he didn't have a kid.

He is pro-natalist, sexist, and misogynistic. He is biased against women, directing the most of his abuse towards them, sometimes just for nothing more than being around him. He sees them as serving one purpose and that is to breed, and if they do not breed he sees them as failures and worthless. It's not surprise then that his favorite punching bags are, in fact, female.

He is easily bored and sometimes tries to find ways to distract himself, whether it be rambling about his family, fishing, or doing a slave run. He does play favorites with the slaves he has, mostly keeping a few as friends and company, even if they do not like him. Given his love of money and wanting to provide for his kid, it is unlikely he'll ever drop the slaving business.

History

Tazzek was born the third of five sons in Darkspear Island. His father was an affluent warrior within the tribe, and so the boys had very high expectations. Still, they grew up as any troll would; bickering, wrestling, and occasionally having to be beat by their dad just to break it up. They were all raised well though, to be strong and good hunters and providers.

When Tazzek came of age he had secured not one, but two mates, by proving his worth to the right men. He had to fight a few other young trolls to have such a position, but his father drove him to train hard and push himself past his limits. With these two mates he planned to carry on his father's work and supply the tribe with fresh young trolls. This, however, would soon change.

When the murlocs came to invade the village he was in was overwhelmed. Tazzek was called to fight with his fellow warriors and fend off the invaders. However, there was a breach along one of the walls, and the place was soon overrun. They fell back to the trails and planned to help the villagers evacuate to the next village. By then though much of them had been overcome and slaughtered. His family disappeared, but he knew it was quite likely they were eaten by murlocs, or something as equally gruesome. He was stoic though, planning to survive and fight for what he could in the tribe.

It was not until Thrall came with his orcs that they saw any relief. In the end the Darkspear had to ultimately abandon their homes and not one of Tazzek's mates and children came upon the ship. They were good as dead, but at least a few of his brothers had survived, as well as the tribe. Tazzek felt that he had a duty to help repopulate and pass on his mojo, but given Vol'jin's ruling he could no longer own mates. The troll had to settle with one that, despite hurting his ego, chose him instead of the other way around. They produced one daughter and that would be the last of the children he made.

In Kalimdor he had managed to take to hunting again, and providing for his new family. Once they had to flee Echo Isles and they went to live in Sen'jin Village. After some time though he was presented with a new opportunity by one of his brothers. He asked him if he would like to come to what would be the Plaguelands to fight the Scourge. It was a strange request but he decided to come with his brother, if only because they were close family. The two joined the Argent Crusade, and went to fight the Scourge.

Things did not go well.

The two brothers fought valiantly and yet they were taken by the Scourge, killed and raised as death knights to serve the Lich King. They slaughtered hundreds though that didn't bother him as much as having to run across the fields collecting saronite arrows. But with the Lich King and the Scourge as the boss, what was he gonna do? It wasn't until they broke free of his control that he could take a direction with his unlife.

When they were freed from Arthas his first inclination was to return to his family back in Kalimdor. He traveled all the way to Durotar and there he found his mate, who did not take well to his undeath. In fact, she entirely rejected him, and told him to stay away. His tribe too was wary, he was an abomination against the Loa Bwonsamdi of the restful dead. He wasn't going to let that change his plans though. He had a kid, and that kid was his and carried his mojo, and he wanted to be sure she was raised right. Come night in the village he barged into his old home, took his child, and left despite the protests of his old mate.

He migrated to Stranglethorn to find work. He knew it was a bit costly to provide for a child without having a mother to look after her. He decided he'd try his hand at working, and got into the dirty business of the slave trade. The gold he made provided an instant and addicting gratification. He just liked making gold, and using it to attain more things, and in turn use those things he gained to make even more gold. It wasn't too long before he started up his own business, and founded the Oceanside Trade Corporation.

As operations grew he decided to take it outside of Booty Bay to provide minimal interference from goblins and outsiders. He found a small, quaint island and invited his coworkers to relocate there. Today the small island community is bustling with both thugs and slaves, the thugs working to bring in money for the operation and acting as guards to the small community. Tazzek remains in charge, with a few trusted overseeing the operations, including his brother in death.
