Personality

Zaluto carries himself fairly well, his fit physique makes up for his slightly slouched shoulders. Being an active tracker and hunter, Zaluto is light on his feet. Being very controlling of his nerves helps him maintain clarity of thought in sticky situations. He has a low but carrying voice, able to be heard over conversation. The pitch might rise when he becomes upset or angered, but overall it remains very consistent. Speaking directly with his wit, he is able to resolve most situations without action, as well as start situations of action. Being hugely introverted, Zaluto isn't very trust-worthy of other races besides his fellow Trolls. Zaluto's distrust roots from his idea that his race, and all other races, shouldn't be influenced to change their ways based off of the ideals of another outside view. His idea that the Trolls have done their part to repay the Orcs help with the fight of the Sea Witch has caused him to believe that a more traditional way of life is needed for his kind as it's worked thus far. Due to this distrust, he is very suspicious of other people in general and tends to be hot-blooded. He only cares for those that he has taken a liking for, and will take extreme measures to protect them. Because of this, Zalutos greatest fear is betrayal from those he holds close. Being a hunter, he has few worldly possessions, if he can't protect it then he has no right to have it. Zaluto, contrary to some trolls, doesn't kill without means. Every animal he hunts he ends up using or selling every part of the animal. When it comes to hunting people, he must have proper compensation, both material and personal. Zaluto's method of fighting involves causing his target to get so frustrated with his actions or banter that they attack blindly, leaving themselves exposed.

Alignment: Neutral

History

Zaluto was born into the Darkspear tribe. His father was a renown warrior among their army, and his mother was a witchdoctor. During the course of the fight with the Naga Sea Witch, Zalutos father was killed in action. After his tribe joined the Horde, he noticed that his kind had slowly but surely warmed up to the other races. Being a believer that Trolls should care for only Trolls, this did not appeal to his ideals.

Years pass and Zalutos intolerance of other races has done nothing but increased. Very few of non Troll kind have appealed to Zaluto, and that was only because he felt it was better to have those specific people on neither side of being enemies nor friends. Disagreeing for the most part about his tribes slow transgression, he left. Learning to survive in the world was a slow process for him, but not a challenge as all Trolls are taught basic survival from birth. Leaving the Isles, he traveled to the Barrens. Residing at The Crossroads he's made a life of living off the land, only taking what he needs and when. Keeping to his roots he has made few friends and even less allies.

One evening while hunting, Zaluto wandered out further than he was accustomed to. While tracking a Grazer he had wounded minutes before, he was attacked by a Quillboar scout. With his slightly heightened senses he was able to avoid certain death, but instead he took a swing of an axe across the face. This wound caused his right eye to be rendered useless and his right tusk broken in half, earning himself his second name, Brokentusk. Surviving the encounter only made Zaluto more wary in life, leaving his back turned to no one.

After all this time he hasn't changed much but has become less spiteful of people he doesn't know, but still keeps his good eye ever watchful. Living day by day is no way to live as a troll, wishing to secure a future for his kind he wishes to take all measures to advance his people, even if they don't share the same extreme thoughts on the other members of the Horde.
