Ripfang was a former corsair who joined the Blue Hordes with his brother Doomeye. He and his brother quickly gained the rank of Captain, or rather took it, from Captains Fraul and Mirefleck. Ripfang found quick favor with his master, Ungatt Trunn, who gave the brothers several important command duties. Ripfang found further favor with the wildcat after reporting a sighting of Lord Brocktree to Trunn.
