Tronk Gulogg

CW Rape
Tronk was born to a woman from Stormloft who was the daughter of a traveling merchant. She had been with her father traveling back to the city when their caravan was attacked by a band of orcs. They murdered the 4 guards hired to protect the goods, her father and two brothers, and several other merchants traveling with her. While they lay dying from the mortal wounds suffered, the chieftain took her as his own in front of the others. Leaving her battered and broken, she was forced to walk many miles alone back to the city. After she gave birth, her mother could not bear to look upon her son, as he was a constant reminder of a terrible tragedy that befell her. She took him out of the city under the cover of night, and abandoned him in the woods just north of the city before anyone found out about his existence. Tronk was found by a half elf ranger a few hours later, and he took Tronk under his wing. Having known what is like to not be accepted into society, he felt a kinship to the abandoned child and brought him to his secluded dwelling in the Barrier Mountains.
The ranger, Elos Menrick, raised Tronk as his own. He gave him the name of an Orc chief Elos had once met and befriended after saving him from a frost giant ambush. Elos trained Tronk to survive in the mountains, but Tronk was full of rage and was prone to going berserk when hunting creatures or protecting himself from the wildlife in the mountains. He also showed him how to hunt and track animals, and how to easily navigate the mountains. Occasionally, a group of travelers would need to pass through the mountains. Elos would guide them through, taking a small fee for their safe travel. When Tronk was just reaching maturity, Elos went in search of a Chimera that had been spotted in the area. After a few days of not returning, Tronk went in search of Elos. He found him badly injured, hiding in a cave, and Tronk brought him back to their dwelling. He tried to treat his wounds, but one of the cuts was infected and Elos was slowly dying. Before he passed, Elos confided in Tronk that he had tracked down his mother in Stormloft and told him of his origins.
After Elos' death, Tronk took up his mantle of mountain guide. He would charter people through the mountains, and even took them on hunting trips and other missions. For years, he did get into some scuffles with the local wildlife, and now has the scars to show it. Now in his sixties, he has traveled to Hilton because the last group paid him extra to walk them all the way back to their hometown. There are also two other guides, much younger than Tronk working in the Barrier Mountains, so now Tronk is looking for new work in Hilton to keep him occupied in the last few years of his life.
