Appearance:

Nrak was tall for an Orc, he has a muscular, hulking appearance. The ash-skinned Orc was covered from head to toe in a plethora of scars, cuts, scratches and even old bite-wounds. They littered almost everywhere on his body.

He probably wasn't considered good looking by most. The rough exterior of the Orc was etched across his entire physique. An almost permanent scowl marked his face and his skin was equally scarred there. A large burnmark covered his neck and predominately his lower jaw, engulfing it almost completely. Claw marks are etched into his face, barely missing his right eye and his left ear is partially missing.

On his back was a large red-coloured tattoo of the Dragonmaw clan, a traditional tattoo for those who've come of age. Around his neck hangs a simple necklace adorned with dragon teeth.

He stands at about 7'5' tall.


Personality:

Nrak comes across as easy going, uncommited and sometimes even uncaring. His only hobbies seem to be drinking, fighting and drinking some more. Drowning his true feelings and thoughts with copious amounts of alcohol. He enjoys teasing and flirting with women and will often make fun of everyone, himself most of all.

Whilst he enjoys drinking with others he mostly copes with his feelings by drowning his sorrows. Often sleeping trough entire days due to his bad hangovers, unable to soberly face his personal demons.

History:

Nrak grew up as the only child to Tarosh and Shuk'la, his mother was barely an adult when he was conceived and died only a few years later during the Battle of Grim Batol. He has few memories of his parents, but remembers his Father as a mountain of a man, he was loud, strict and in Nrak's eyes the strongest man alive. His mother was much younger than her mate but was regarded as stronger than many a man of the clan. A true Orcish beauty though he can't quite recall her appearance as much as he'd want.

Nrak was raised in the Highlands after the death of his Parents at Grim Batol. He was among the few of the clan who evaded capture and thus lived freely in the hills. Without parents Nrak's upbringing was generic, he did the same things week after week, month after month, year after year. Train, hunt, train, work. Anything to earn his keep and the elders' time. Grew up a fine young warrior, strong like his father. Some thought he even inherited his mother's good looks. Over the years scars and wounds slowly chipped away at his young unblemished physique. The lower half of his face got burned and scarred during his Om'riggor.
The drake's fire had left it's everlasting mark. Though older now. He'd always relive the hunt in his dreams, the pain, the smell of burnt flesh.. and the glory of his kill.

Eventually Nrak become one of the Dragonrider, like his father before him. A proud moment in his life, he was content for those years and was eager to join the Horde when Garrosh Hellscream came to the Highlands. As Garrosh went overboard in his ideology he found it worrying that Zaela seemed to join him on the path. Whilst Nrak felt that he should honor his clan he didn't think his parents died all those years ago just to see the clan kill themselves over a Madman and his equally madwoman who followed blindly.  Nrak however followed his orders and did as he was told, he even joined the Kor'kron, in fact.

But even the most loyal of dogs can break free from blind obedience. As the Horde plunged into rebellion. ''Warlord'' Zaela sticked with the Warchief. Nrak deserted from the Kor'kron, distanced himself from the clan and joined the rebellion, helping overthrow the Warchief. The Dragonmaw clan endured and the 'new' chieftain kept their pledge to the Horde. Nrak worked as a horde aligned mercenary for a while before eventually coming across the Red Blades in Nagrand
