Khalagh the Zealous

Born soon after the Horde's defeat in the Second War, Khalagh was raised in an internment camp. From an early age, he showed a natural affinity towards the faith of the Holy Light that passing priests tried to pass on to the Orcish prisoners, and though he accompanied the Horde to Kalimdor in 20 LC, he soon returned to Lordaeron to join the Argent Dawn, in order to find more like-minded believers who did not share other Light-centric orders' hatred for his kind. He served in the vanguard of the Argent Crusade's assault on Icecrown, earning a reputation as a fierce and fearless warrior. After the war, he requested that he be allowed to squire with a paladin, and his old comrade, the Blood Knight Leyliera Dawnsinger, volunteered to train him. When the Legion began its assault on the Broken Isles, Khalagh was a fully trained paladin, knighted by Tirion Fordring himself, one of the first orcs to bear such an honor. After the Legion's defeat, Khalagh returned to Lordaeron, where he continues to serve as a Crusade commander in the Plaguelands.

Description
When one hears they are to face Sir Khalagh the Zealous in battle, they likely do not imagine the 7 foot tall green-skinned warrior stepping forward to meet them.

Khalagh is tall and powerfully built, even amongst orcs. He is completely hairless, an act of humility begun during his squiring that has continued to this day, and has tattoos of verses from the Tome of Divinity running down his arms and torso in both Common and Orcish. Whenever he goes into battle, he adorns his face with war paint, creating the likeness of the Light's holy cross around his radiant golden eyes. He has a deep, thunderous voice, but he speaks softly, save in battle.

Khalagh typically wears chain-and-plate greaves and thick lobstered gauntlets; however, he wears no chest armor save for pauldrons holding up his mail-backed cloak. He carries a pair of weapons, one in each hand, each of which would take a human two-hands to even lift. In his left hand, he carries a heavy, single-bladed ax forged in the style of Orcish warriors; in his right, a maul, hand-crafted, reminiscent of the hammers of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Both weapons are engraved with powerful holy runes that emanate holy power. Perhaps most shocking of all to those who look upon this orc is the fact that he is a paladin as powerful as many of his Argent comrades, albeit an unorthodox one.
