Iriako was born into a new partnership of two orcs who followed the Twilight's Hammer with undying loyalty. Unlike many orc children born into the demonically-influenced Horde, he was spared from having his growth speed increased. The reason for that is currently unknown. Constant inner turmoil is his enemy. His spirituality and wisdom is his weapon against it, and it causes him to alternate between the persona of an articulate leader and simple follower in his path through life, as explained in his life story, given below.
