Ruharg

"I die so that the Horde may live."
==Name==
While unclear, perhaps due to the dialect of orcish used in the regions of Draenor Ruharg came from, it is believed that his name roughly translates into "Unrest", "Restless" or even a deeper meaning such as "Adventurous", while a more literal translation comes out as "Not still", this name would prove to be one which Ruharg would grow into.
==Physical Traits==
Ruharg is of average height for a male orc, perhaps with the appearence of one who looks taller due to his surprisingly good posture, holding an air of formality and discipline about himself, his physique is muscular and well-built if somewhat more atheltic looking than the typical orcish warrior.
At first glance you could tell he is an old orc, his face wrinkled despite his good health, his hair white and the top of his head is balding, the long hair down the back of his head fashioned into a long braided ponytail, he also has a thick, braided beard, granting him a sagely appearence. Two large tusks protrude up from either corner of his mouth, with another smaller two on either side. A jagged burn scar goes from eye to eye, another couple of scars line his right cheek.
Ruharg is always seen wearing his clothing of choice, wearing baggy, ragged cloth leggings that only reach down to his kneecaps, said leggings lightly armoured themselves, a large leather and mail clad belt wrapping around his waist with two plate-woven rectangular pieces of armour hanging down the side of his thighs, other than that he wears little other armour, his wrists are bound by similar leather-mail armour and he wears a pair of geta (a type of wooden sandals).
==Personality==
Ruharg is a pragmatic orc, holding a great sense of pride and living by a code of honour, yet he never allows his zeal to blind him, having often cited that allowing "honour" to blind you to reality is in fact a great dishonour to yourself and those you fight for.
His personality tends to reflect his way of life, which is to fight only in defence of the Horde, and so he will not be outwardly be aggressive to someone without reason, he can be kind and compassionate, respectful to those around him, whereas if someone had wronged him or someone he cares for, be disrespectul or otherwise vulgar then Ruharg will react accordingly, for the most part rendering him a very reasonable person.
==Occupation==
While Ruharg is a cutural figure in orcish society, the title of Blademaster holds no real rank in the Horde military, or at least this is what he claims, leaving his place among the ranks somewhat of a mystery. Ultimately he is a warrior, a soldier, and is often called upon as a field commander, due to his martial prowess, cunning and morale boosting presence.
Ruharg is also known as a scholar, or at least the closest thing to one with regards to war ethics, having spoken often on the principles of war, giving serious thought to what makes a war justified and what it means to take someones life.
==Background==
==Family and Family Backgrounds==
Ruharg has no more living family aside from an adoptive granddaughter.
Ruharg's Mate
Back on Draenor, he found a mate several years after completing his Om'riggor, he loved her dearly, spent every day with her, training, hunting, crafting spears, telling stories beside a campfire, but like many stories from Draenor, it all ended with the arrival of the demons.
Ruhargs mate was always wary of the demons, mistrustful, but Ruharg was more easily swayed, and when the time came he gladly drank the demons blood, ever since that point he grew more and more distant from his mate, eventually the time came where she denied the demons as her master, in an act of sheer cruelty they ordered her death, at the hands of her mate, Ruharg, blinded by the blood haze, complied without question, he headed for their old hut where she still lived and wounded his mate, as she lay on the floor in shock, bleeding to death, Ruharg left her, he would not see her again for years.
It was not until after the Second War that he would meet his mate once again in internment, despite all odds she had somehow lived through the traumatising experience, though the wound he inflicted on her so long ago had taken its toll on her, it made her weak and frail, though Ruharg suffered from severe withdrawl from having isolated from battle and bloodshed it allowed him to see what he had done to her, he could not fully explain why but all he wanted to do was look after her, keep her safe from the humans that would abuse her and even other orcs if needs be, she was wary of him at first, even scared, but his seemingly genuine regret and care eventually made her warm up to him again, and during one night in internment they conceived a child, however this would finally prove to be her death, her weakened state caused her to die from the stress of childbirth, with her last words she named the child; Hakoro.
Hakoro
Hakoro has led a life in his fathers shadow, having to live up to the expectations that his father had set albeit unintentionally, to grow into a respected and fierce warrior, to an extent he had achieved this, he was strong and dedicated, even disciplined, a valuable trait amongst the younger generations of the Horde, making his way as a Reaver of Oshu Kazil. Sadly Hakoro's life was cut short, slain by an elemental ascendant in Outland.
Hakoro was born in an internment camp like many of his generation, barely of age to hold a weapon by the time the orcs were freed, without his mother it was left to Ruharg to care for the boy, however Ruharg was less than an ideal parent, up until now he only knew how to fight, so the only thing of value he could pass down was how to use a sword, and that was exactly what he did, from a young age, far before he was ready for an Om'riggor he was taught to live as warrior.
