Other: Ever since the trolls found peace within the Horde and moved to Kalimdor, Patrikh has been trying to find a place he can call home. A place where he could just lay back and enjoy life, no pressures. Just life. Patrikh, however, realized that the only place where he could live in peace and in freedom would be in the arid wasteland all around him, surviving and learning more and more from his stay in the newly discovered Barrens. As such, Patrikh is highly dependent, not only on his survival techniques, but also on his physical composure in order to be able to withstand the roughness of the land.

Patrikh found Lekk laying down wounded in the Barrens, as he was heading towards Orgrimmar. He named Lekk after his own name "Bo'Lekk", hoping it would create a bond with him. Both have been together ever since, and have successfully overcome many challenges. Patrikh also knows the most useful skills of survival: Skinning, cooking and fishing, as well as hunting.

Personality

Patrikh is a determined, hardworking, and somewhat unique troll. Patrikh does not get himself into unnecessary situations and always ends up standing firmly to a decision he makes. Be it a pointless argument or a struggle for survival, Patrikh always ends up eying what's happening around him, and following his instinct on what course to take.

Although these are almost invisible due to his ability to regenerate, these marks remind Patrikh what it is to fight in the outdoors. What it means to stay alive. His physical constitution is slightly muscled, having enough strength to crawl and drag his body around.

History

Ever since Patrikh was born on the isles, he has always been a wanderer. He liked to explore and wander off, and often tried to study life all around him. Patrikh's curiosity startled his parents, as he was prompt to disappear into the forest. When Patrikh was five, he crawled into the forest, and got lost. Eventually, groups of trolls and scavengers went in search of him and after three hours of search, a noise caught the attention of one of the searching parties. As they looked around, they noticed that were some trails over by a tree, as well as some plants laying on the ground. With a quick glance upon the tree, they spotted Patrikh, which had climbed to the tree, and was just there smiling and waving.

As time skipped by, Patrikh became more and more interested in his surroundings. He felt the need to know the name of every animal; every prey; every plant and every resource available in the forest. As such, he decided to form a small party of young trolls, and adventure into the forest. Patrikh was only seven, but he felt that, eventually, even him would have to face obstacles ahead of him. Once Patrikh had gathered a small part of no more four young trolls, he ventured into the forest with his group, ignoring the dangers. Thanks to Patrikh's present knowledge, they managed to survive just fine, sleeping in leaf covered tree-caves, drinking fresh water found in water-beds, and only hunting animals that were necessary in order to survive. Three days had passed, and Patrikh decided to return. To him, It had been a good experience, as now he had notion of what life can become. His parents, however did not, and as a result of his defiance he got punished for wandering off. Eventually, life took It's roam and everything became normal again.

Patrikh's father decided he should take the path of a hunter, just like himself. Patrikh took the opportunity by It's hand, as he didn't want to dishonor his father. Being handy with his hands as he was, he soon learned how a bow works, It's proprieties, It's importance, and above all, how to use one. Months passed, and Patrikh decided to expand his knowledge on such a weapon. He started asking around about how arrows were made, what material was needed for the bow's grip; How to set traps and how to lure preys into different locations, in order to have advantage. His father, seeing his dedication, taught Patrikh how to fish, how to skin animals, and how set up a campfire. Time couldn't seem more fit for such learning, as Patrikh was unaware that he would soon have to use those very skills in order to survive. As time passed on, Patrikh's body started to become more of a man's stature, and as a result, he noticed a greater resistance, both mentally and physically.

But that had just been the silence before the storm. Patrikh had almost become a man, and before he could analyze what was happening, hordes of murlocs began invading his encampment. Patrikh joined the local defenses, helping defend the trolls, as well as help the weak and elderly. As fate would have it, they managed to defend the murlocs for two or three waves without minimal casualties, but soon after that more and more started coming. It was obvious that Patrikh and the others were destined to die while defending. Patrikh then decided laying traps in strategic points, putting every single knowledge of fauna and flora he had in use. In a short period of time, Patrikh and other trolls had managed to conceal some traps, and build some sort of barricade fence with shattered wood laying around. But the effort was in vain, as more and more murlocs started appearing, shattering the defenses and brutally slaughtering Patrikh's friends and elders.

But when everything looked dim and grim, Thrall and the orcs from the new Horde appeared, showing support and defeating the creatures once and for all. Like most trolls, Patrikh decided to join the orcs on the expedition to Kalimdor, hoping he could somehow repay. It was then that, when the orcs and trolls arrived at Kalimdor, they were attacked by Tiragarde soldiers. Patrikh, hoping he could prove himself useful and grateful, fought as bravely as he could, and as a result he was shot in the leg. The defense had been successful, and, in the middle of the bloody sand, ragged with gore, Patrikh let a smile. Some days later, his leg had been healed and he was good to go. But Patrikh had nowhere to go. His hometown, ravaged with death and destruction. It was in that moment that Patrikh realized that he was apt to stay in the new lands, surviving as a scavenger.

At one time, Patrikh decided to stay by small settlements, checking his surroundings, searching for other wanderers. Due to the lack of ailment in the Barrens, and the fact that Patrikh was self-aware that nature can only provide as much, he traveled from town to town, taking requests for financial gain, just enough to feed Lekk and himself. Patrikh's requests consisted on small tasks, such as gathering certain plants, or scouting the area for suspicious identities. Life couldn't be more ideal, and yet.. so dull. But as fate would have it, one day, Lazlo was told to go to Booty Bay, where he would deliver some medicinal plants to a shopkeeper. Once the job was done and Patrikh was returning to Ratchet to announce the report, he struck on what would later be what most call 'love'.

Patrikh met a young lady; A troll named Letta, who had just been a victim of a brutal act. Despite the fact that most trolls would most likely ignore, or even scold her for being attacked, Patrikh approached her. As he comforted her, he talked, discovering more and more traits about the mysterious woman. He had fallen in love with Letta, but after failing many times to protect her, he confessed his feelings for her.

During the present date, Patrikh aids the Horde the best he can, bringing supplies to the stronghold Orgrimmar every so often. With the need to explore and get away from 'reality' and the pressure, Patrikh is now a 'nomand', exploring the lands, expanding his knowledge of the environment is in. You can find Patrikh roaming the the world, be it in the Barrens, or even in Winterspring.
