Jaruk Bloodfyre was a shaman who lived on Draenor when Gul'dan ordered the orcs to start the war against the draenei. Having felt the elements abandoning him, he was wary of the course of his people and refused to drink the Blood of Mannoroth, unlike his brother J'argg, who became a leader of raids on the remaining draenei, and often urged Jaruk to drink as well and join their slaughtering of man, woman and child alike.
