She's painted a yellow wolf's head on the face of her helmet, albeit crudely. Her helmet has a piece of metal bolted over the right eye hole. When Murz isn't armored up, she dresses very plainly. Leather shorts and a jerkin, nothing particularly special or noteworthy.

Other: Murzmak is missing her right eye, and a deep scar from a blade that runs over it is an easy visible explanation why. Murz's nose is pierced with a ring, two more on each ear near the top.

Personality

Alignment: Lawful neutral

Murzmak is an orc of little complication, and strong conviction. She isn't given to rely on others, much preferring to face her problems head on, and on her own. Granted, Murzmak's idea of solving a problem generally revolves around the concept of pulverizing it. She's smug, insensitive and very cold towards the races of the Alliance.

History

Murzmak was born in the Hillsbrad Foothills, within one of the many internment camps that once dotted the area. Obviously, this was not a healthy environment for anyone to grow. Living in filth and feeding off scraps, under the constant vigil of violence held by the human captors. She grew to perceive Humanity as particularly devilish, having been taught the reason for their imprisonment only by the Orcs who had fought in the war that lead to it. The frequent sightings of beat-downs on other orcs fueled the perception.

Despite growing up in the shackles of a people she honestly believed to be the embodiment of evil, she was never a violent prisoner. She did what she was told and kept quiet, though perhaps if she had been fed properly she'd of had the energy to do more. Her life in the internment camp was harsh, perhaps perceived by some as cruel. In Murzmak's mind however, the biggest grief was the boredom. Knowing nothing other than life imprisoned and with no end in sight, even the slightest change in the day was a welcome thing for her.

You can imagine then, the overwhelming joy she must have felt when free Orcs had savaged the camp and it's human keepers, freeing the lot of them in a quick night's skirmish that ended in Orcish victory. While initially tentative to leave the camp, Durnhold Syndrome hadn't taken her in entirety. She joined herself with the free orcs, becoming one herself.

She migrated with the many others to Kalimdor when the decision was made, where she made the fascinating discovery that she very easily gets seasick. And while the journey across the seas for her were particularly unpleasant, she wasn't fond of the idea of going back. She was far too young to partake in any of the battles on their arrival to Kalimdor, nor was she during the Third War. She spent the remainder of her underage years on a farm in Durotar, learning to tend to crops and swine.

When she was old enough, Murzmak eagerly joined the forces of the Orcish Military. The majority of her early servitude was spend in the Barrens, where she served guard for the farming communities, defending them from the occasional Quillboar attacks. It wasn't until the Scourge's attack on Orgrimmar that she got something other than beast-folk. She opted to join the Horde's Northrend Expedition, where she waged war and battle against the Scourge with her Orcish comrades. The majority of her service was spent in the Grizzly Hills, though saw limited action in Icecrown after the Wrathgate incident. In her battle-group's first act against the Alliance, she was wounded in the head by Alliance blade, losing her eye. Of course this was the end of her time on the front, and the rest of her campaign was spent in camps for the wounded.

With the rest of her military career being spent on duty behind the lines, Murzmak opted out of the organized forces when the option made itself available. With her weapons and armor kept as trophies from her service, she uses them now as a private soldier. With revenge against the humans being her primary drive, Murzmak spends the majority of time finding her way into the Horde's battles against the Alliance.
