Barkahn Shatterlance

Barkahn Shatterlance
Hah, Barkahn. Past that stench of cheap ale and the self-satisfied grin of his he contantly sports . He is alright, for an orc. Then again, he wouldn't appreciate a good wine if it punched him in the nose! - Thoro'dias Dawnweave
Hulking, muscular, imposing, Barkahn is an orc amongst orcs, a fine example of generations of entertained honour and valor rites and ways. Barkahn is a courageous, stoic and loyal fighter who encompasses all the normal looks of his kin, scars, green skin, a firm jaw.
: He is usually seen with his friend Thoro'dias Dawnweave, the pair have fought together for a long time, and frequently spout in-jokes which, as in-jokes do, have a tendency to not be amusing to anyone else.
==History==
Barkahn Shatterlance was born to a nameless orc family, a member of the Warsong clan. He was brought up in the traditional orcish manner, schooled in the ways of blood and death, he retains a strong want for seeking honour in battle, and conducting himself as a productive member of a clan in everyday life.
Upon the opening of the Dark Portal, Barkahn was old enough to join and fight in the first, second and third wars, Barkahn gained his prowess in fighting with weapons of all kinds in the years spent fighting. He partook in most of the battles, including the first assault on Old Stormwind, where he learned the cold taste of defeat for what was really the first time. He was captured, and in the torture that followed, he lost an eye and had a brand burnt onto his lower abdomen.
: However he also gained his last name from the fight, as the battle waged, an Alliance knight charged Barkahn, and as was the flows of battle, a ring of space emerged around them. And as his name suggests, as the knight charged Barkahn swung and shattered the Knight's lance.
During the third war, and the aftermath of it, Barkahn remained unhappy with the peace that had been reached. He had been more content with when they were freely slaughtering, thus any potential fight Barkahn came to exploit, getting his kicks from them. He was still enlisted in the army, having gained not an inconsequential number of ranks and accolades while fighting for the Horde.
Barkahn has served in a number of other organisations in his time, all of them military, however. The Stone Guard and The Crimson Battalion among them. Currently he serves in Oshu Kazil or "Iron Spirits", an elite group of horde fighters.
