*Jok is a Orcish shaman who travels the world in search of ancient magic hidden in the deepest depths of the world*. He has immense power and has been known manipulate matter down to a single atom. Jok appears out of no-where and will leave to unknown destinations after he has found what he sought for.

## Background

*No one knows where exactly he came from*, some speculate that he wasn't even born, that he's a divine instrument. In truth no one exactly knows where he came from, and all the ones who do are either dead or living under his permission. There's evidence of him that dates back to ancient orcs, way back in 2000 AC.

*His first public appearance was in the Orcish Wars of Independence against the Empire 4711 AC - 4721 AC*, where he managed to obliterate a whole army of Empire troopers with a giant meteor from the sky, setting the army on fire. This victory gave the orcs the ability to sack the Human Encampments scattered across the Orcish desert, thus ending the war with a victory for the orcs. After this he simply vanished, leaving the Orcs to pick up the damage that the humans did.

*His second appearance was seen just before the eruption of the Dead Island, 4786 AC,* which covered the whole island in dark ash and suffocating hundreds. Jok was seen leading a ship full of robed men to the island, who these men were are still under heavy debate of scholars everywhere. After this the island erupted and once again Jok vanished.

*His third and final appearance so far was in 4982 AC,* when the war for the crossroads was in full scale effect. People claim that Jok wanted Crossroads to remain independent, so he personally sabotaged all the three nation's efforts, which were Angmar, Dwarven League and the Empire. He flooded the plains all around the city allowing siege to be utterly useless, giving Crossroads more time to prepare for attacks. He also made a massive ravine in Redback pass, the pass which the Empire traveled through, this stopped any Empire reinforcements for five months.

He has not been seen since.
