Gorak

For the original timeline's character, see Gorak Skullcleaver.

Gorak is the slave of Margrave Haifrall in an alternate timeline. After Margrave had set out to remove the "pet orc" of Durnholde, Thrall, from the bigger picture, Margrave recalled the original Gorak's skill in battle and charisma. He thought Gorak might be an ideal asset for himself, especially against physical fighters, and began to train Gorak in physical combat, extensively.

While he was trained, Gorak was shown no cruelty. Instead, he was taught that he had no family or race, that he simply was created as a means to an ends for humanity. Gorak had no understanding of his race and its history, or of the Orcish Wars, and could only operate under what he was told to do. As a gift for his complient tool, Margrave murdered an alternate Grom Hellscream, claiming his infamous weapon, Gorehowl, and providing it as a weapon for Gorak.

When Margrave made his decision to begin the premature invasion of the Empire, Gorak was entrusted to the Empire's officials while Margrave was away, his fate to be decided later.
