== What He's Like ==
Matojo, when faced with situations and people that are relatively normal, is a very patient man. When things turn out to be rather out of the ordinary, however, he does a complete 180 and is often quite unreasonable. His philosophy tends toward being, "I'm too old for strange shit and stupid people", and he sticks quite stubbornly to this line of thinking.
This old soldier also hates the Undead - allied and otherwise - and has a special dislike of Death Knights. In fact, it could be argued that there isn't anyone that he does like, since even his relationships with various children are often in question.
In summary, though Matojo isn't a bad guy, he's not particularly great, either: he has a mean streak, a drinking problem, is extremely racist and a bit too concentrated on sex.
== Background ==
=== The Jungle Years ===
The first twenty or so years of Matojo's life were spent in Stranglethorn Vale, where he lived, breathed, and worked for the Skullsplitter Tribe. At the age of twelve he became a Scout, snatching his first pair of daggers from the first unfortunate human that he encountered (coincidentally, that action earned him his status as an adult). From the age of thirteen onward, most of the children that he produced for the Tribe were full-blooded Skullsplitter Trolls - that's right, his child-making years stretch that far back.
Not long after reaching the age of eighteen, Matojo began to realize just how horrible Hakkar - and the activities his Tribe participated in as a result - really were. His first escape attempt resulted in the death of one of his daughters. It was during his second attempt that he managed to take Talash (an infant at the time) and Mekt (approximately three years old) from his Tribe. Talash wound up with an old Darkspear priestess by the name of Mama Lana, and Mekt was taken in by a Goblin fishing family.
=== Days of Piracy ===
Twenty-odd years ago, this old Troll entered into the gritty world of piracy; he was pretty damned good at the whole "pillaging" thing, as well as the obligatory "drink and raise hell" bit. That twenty year stretch was spent following the pirate's way of life, of pillaging and murder (alongside the frequent bouts of helping several lovely ladies bring more little Trolls into the world), and it all ended rather suddenly about three years after the founding of Orgrimmar - with the wreck of his ship.
The Fury was a wanted vessel and was chased down by the privateering ship Revenge during one of her sporadic runs. Naturally, the old Skullsplitter's ship was sunk and all but two of the crew were lost: Captain Matojo and his First Mate, Masamba Darkspear. Until recently, both Trolls thought the other was dead.
During his time as a pirate, Matojo was known for his ferocity in battle, his skill with his blades, his capacity for the drink, and his generally horrible attitude. He was also a notorious womanizer, praised for his skill in the sack and his good looks. Was any of it true? To a point, though just what the facts are have been lost to the mists of time and the inebriating effects of booze.
These days? Matojo ain't so much of a dreamboat. Especially not in the looks department - at least, not after all the injuries he sustained from the wreck (unless a lady's into scars). Unlike Masamba, Matojo has never really been bothered by current appearance - in his mind, he's far too old to worry about it.
=== To Kalimdor! ===
After spending three years drunk in Booty Bay, Matojo eventually chased a boy he thought was his son - Kombe - to Kalimdor in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to make sure that one of his children didn't make the same mistakes he did (he would find out much, much later that the boy wasn't actually his). His method consisted of beating the snot out of the kid - further proof that his parenting skills were rather sub-par. He joined with the Big Booty crew and found himself getting a lot of unwanted attention from young Tarantula - despite his insistence that he was no longer interested in rolling with Troll women - and, in retaliation, started chasing Sin'dorei girls. Matojo's first attempt left him heartbroken, but his second - a woman by the name of Darda Dawnflare - stayed with him for close to two years.
His recruitment to the Harbingers of War followed an experience in the Arathi Basin - the sudden realization that shooting Alliance folk was really, really fun - and his running into Talash. Although he never spoke up about her being his daughter (for his first several months), it could be assumed that his major reason for joining the unit - Darda aside - was so he could keep an eye on his kid.
=== What He's Doing Now ===
In the present day, Matojo managed to become a father again with his mate, Hecubah. They named their son Matobe, after himself and after Hecubah's first, deceased son.
Matojo is the current Warcaller of the Harbingers of War , and he has big, big plans for the little military unit. What those plans are nobody really knows, but time will tell.
