So! if your character was any -other- character from any other fictional universe who would they be? this is based on personality, habits, looks, and most other things. feel free to post multiples and throw in some pictures!
Krogon Devilstep
Mister ra's al ghul on the left here with mister bruce wayne, suits Krogon's personality and methodolgy down to the core. The character himself is very tactical and very much the modern master ninja. he see's things in strict black and white terms and isnt afraid to do what he must in order to get a task done.

Hattori Hanzo! from kill bill, Based on a real life Samurai/ninja in service to the first tokugawa Shogun after the samurai wars in the 16th century. in Kill bill he's a retired assassin and the worlds greatest blade smith. He shos a more fun top layer personality with a brooding and mournful side when reflecting on the past.

Born from a simple family, having served in the military only to bugger it in the end, eventually ending up in a position of leadership (albeit unwillingly) and not always all too well cut out for it, bit of a cranky/commanding personality, a chaotic relationship with his wife, batshit insane children, being pretty bitter in general, a traditionalist for someone of his time and a certain sense of duty/loyalty/honour towards the state (albeit in ups and downs).
Sounds, in my eyes, like Kozgugore, but sounds exactly like what Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) from Rome is too. He's the closest thing that I could think of, really. I'd need some more time to find out about other characters that share those equally horrible traits.
I see a lot of Sadok in various fictional characters, either in appearance, behaviour or both, but the closest match for the arrogant orc mage is probably:

The Doctor (EMH) as portrayed by Robert Picardo, head and shoulders above everything else on Star Trek: Voyager, and one of the few redeeming qualities of that much-maligned series. Right down to the teal clothes, condescending sarcasm and sexy baldness, the EMH is a good doppelganger for Sadok with his appreciation of haute couture, snarky one-liners and pompous self-importance. Both conduct themselves with a smug sense of superiority whilst being mocked by their peers, and yet both are competent and relatively knowledgable when shit hits the fan, even if they drag their heels on the way there with astonishing bluster.
I can't honestly point to any character, or even any ten characters I've thought of when I made Therak.
But I'll try!
Mix Kalam from Malazan Book of the Fallen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malazan#Kalam_Mekhar)
Jean (And perhaps a little bit of Locke) from The Gentlemen Bastards series
Throw in a bit of Anasûrumbor Kellhus from the Prince of Nothing books.
And finally a pinch of Quick Ben also from the Malazan books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malazan#Ben_Adaephon_Delat)
Mind you, Therak was made before I read about any of these characters. But I guess the mix would end up with something somewhat resembling Therak.
So, while... both. My orcs might be dead. I've been thinking a bit on who'd fit for Muz. And well, been very bad at it. Until I asked Therak and got a reply within thirty seconds. One that fit very well.

Sandor Clegane, or the Dog. From A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones.
He is ruthless and lacks morals. Doesn't care much about anyone. Enjoys causing pain and killing. Not intrested in sex. Has sufferd horrible scars by fire and is thus less than happy about it when it's raging around a battle. Is, even with all this, loyal when not -too- misstreated.
Only question is if he'd give up his life for that loyalty. But if that's the case I'll just find someone really loyal and throw into the mix.
Im new to the tribe and have mostly been observing to overall RP tune, but Im loosely basing my Brewmaster monk Revax on Friar Tuck from Robin Hood!
