Appearance

He will occasionally wear a cloak. At any given moment there is a large axe or two strapped across his back. When in combat: Two large weapons are always found in Morgrag's hands. Plate armor covers every part of him from head to toe. Where the plate armor leaves openings to allow for movement there is always chain armor. Morgrag considers himself lucky to have such fine armor, as many Orc Warriors do not.

Personality

Morgrag is driven by his pride and honor. Like many orcs, he is loyal to the death. Though once corrupted, he realizes what he has done and considers it a personal mission to right his wrongs. On a more personal note, Morgrag has a deep longing to see his now dead parents. Born in Azeroth, he knows not of his race's homeland of Draenor and has no desire to return there in any way. As many other orcs, Morgrag has made a pledge to Thrall and the Horde. He intends to free any Orcs still under the influence of demonic corruption. Much of Morgrag's lesser education is noticable in his personality. He is easily excited (both positively and negatively) and is quick to act. He also speaks with small words and tends to use motions and expressions when words fail him. Though he is uneducated, he is not stupid. He posesses a keen mind and has a commanders thought process. Friends matter more than anything and Morgrag will kill himself before allowing a friend to come to danger. This can cause problems from time to time because he will try to hold a friend back when the situation seems too dangerous. If that does not succeed, then he will rush into the situation himself with no preperation. Insults to his loyalty or honor cause him to erupt in a fit of anger. In a conversation, he tends not to speak very often as he hates being thought of as stupid or inferior.

History

Morgrag Golthson was born in the year four ((Timeline from official site http://www.wowwiki.com/Timeline_%28from_official_site%2C_2007%29)) to parents Golth and Rashka of the Burning Blade clan. Though his mother was killed in the Second War, his father broke free of the demonic corruption of the Legion, and assisted his son in doing the same. As such, Morgrag is proud to carry the name Golthson. At the age of seventeen Morgrag fought in the Third War as a Warrior for the Orcs under Thrall's command. There, he proved his prowess in battle and even saved the life of an Orc shaman who blessed him with the power of the spirits. Following the Third War, Golth was slain by an Orc assassin sent by one of the warlocks still claiming the Burning Blade as his clan. Morgrag proceeded to abandon his post at Thrall's side and track the assassin. His loyalty to his father nearly cost him the respect of his fellow guards. Thrall, however, saw the true nature of his departure and did nothing to stop him, and reprimanded any who cried out against him. In his search for the assassin, he was lead to the northern edge of the Barrens into Ashenvale. There, he was attacked by a Night Elf sentry. The Elf happened to be a Druid and leapt at Morgrag in the form of a large black panther, scratching at his right eye. She then transformed into a large moonkin and slashed his arm with the small fist weapon she was carrying, and then knocked him unconscious. The sound of an Orcish horn call caused the elf to flee, leaving Morgrag to bleed out. Coming to Morgrag's rescue was a band of Warsong orcs. Their shamans healed his wounds, leaving the scars as they are a sign of prowess for a Warrior. When he awoke, he told the Clan leaders of his quest and thanked them for their assistance. Before he could leave, however, two orcs stated their intent to come with Morgrag on his journey. Morgrag was honored and, always valuing friendship and loyalty above all else, accepted the offer. The clan leaders offered to make Morgrag one of the Warsong and he agreed, on the condition that the proper ceremonies could be performed upon his return from finding his father's killer. They also offered to send a mesage to Thrall, telling him of the inauguration and asking for release for Morgrag. Morgrag encountered both the assassin and the warlock, Drak'thorg, in Darkshore. Morgrag and his companions, one a shaman and the other a hunter, fought the pair and slew both. The battle was taxing, leaving the hunter's pet wolf dead. Fortunately, the spirit of the animal did not wander into the afterlife, and could therefore be returned to his body by the shaman. Both the shaman and hunter, Kag'ar and Kyrix respectively, became great companions of Morgrag and often venture into Warsong Gulch with him. As promised, Morgrag became a member of the Warsong clan upon his return to the Mor'shan base camp. Garrosh Hellscream, Grom's son, lead the Warsong clan into Northrend as the Warsong Offensive. Morgrag joind them and is now fighting to assist the Offensive in any way possible.
