| - Gorvar was born in the northern part of Stranglethorn Vale shortly after the Second War. His father and mother were part of the Bleeding Hollow Clan and Champions for one of Kilrog Deadeye’s many grandsons who each led portions of the clan. After the route from Khaz Modan, the Chieftain of the splinter cell of the Bleeding Hollow led his people to Stranglethorn which was more reminiscent of the Tanaan Jungle back on Draenor before it changed to the Hellfire Peninsula. Cutting themselves off from the rest of the Horde, the small Bleeding Hollow clan thrived in the jungles and took out their aggression on the local wildlife or troll tribes. Gorvar was trained by his father and elders to the ancient Bleeding Hollow ways and knew how to climb trees and concoct deadly poisons from an young age. His first tamed pet was an Raptor he raised from an hatchling which he named Bloodclaws. When Gorvar became an young adult, the shaman received the summons of Drek’thar himself to rally the clans once more and to free their brethren in captivity. The Chieftain ignored the calls but could not stop an portion of the clan, including Gorvar’s family, from leaving and heeding the call. So it was during the attacks on the camps that the young Gorvar made his first real kills among the Alliance footsoldiers. His parents died during the final battle at Durnholde Keep from canon fire as well as most of the Bleeding Hollows that came with him. Although he was not alone he did spend most of his time apart from the other Orcs since his ways were deemed rather savage from the other clans, even the Warsong. He did grow more sociable during the Third War and years later that followed. After the attack on Orgrimmar he followed the Horde in the Northrend offense against the Lich King. Because of Northrend’s icy climate, and Bloodclaws growing older, Gorvar left his old friend in Durotar and at the Warchief’s behest linked up with the Forsaken expedition. Before the Forsaken disembarked, Gorvar befriended an worg which he dubbed Wolfgen who joined him on his adventures on the icy continent. After the War against the Lich King, Gorvar came into contact with the Beastmaw Warband and was accepted into their ranks due to the urgent need of fresh blood following the Northrend Campaign and the new Kaldorei aggression that followed in Ashenvale. When he took a break from wandering the Barrens, Gorvar was at Camp Taurajo during the Cataclysm. After barely having had time to gather his bearing and aiding the Tauren in rebuilding, he found the camp was attacked by Alliance forces. He fought valiantly alongside the Tauren and Orcish guards but like them was forced to retreat. It was during this skirmish that Wolfgen paid the ultimate sacrifice and died to protect his master. Heartbroken from Wolfgen’s loss (among other things), Gorvar ignored the call to rejoin the Beastmaw and wandered south to the Ungorro crater where he stumbled into an Silithid Hive. As he cut himself free from the sticky webbing he found he was not the only victim there. An young Devilsaur, which Gorvar later named Wexter, tried to break loose as several insects tried to make the predator into their meal. Gorvar freed the Devilsaur and both forged an alliance as they battled their way out of the hive. This alliance turned into a long lasting friendship which holds up to this day. Gorvar later rejoined the Beastmaw just in time for the Pandaria Campaign but was one of the first to head back home to Durotar. It was during this time he found that Orgrimmar had changed under Hellscream and there was open racism against those who were not Orc. At an inn he overheard talk of an assassination on Vol’jin but before he could warn his warband or the Troll Chieftain, he was captured by the Kor’kron and imprisoned in the dungeons for many months. It was only recently Gorvar and Wexter were able to escape and rejoined with the Warband during the Darkspear Rebellion. Since he and Wexter have stuck with the Warband, closer than before, and helped fight the True Horde and other threats. His sense of keeping tabs on supplies and food and providing Caravans of Kodo’s for long expeditions have earned Gorvar the position of “Quartermaster” which he proudly wears to this day.
