Grokagamok is the leader of one of the most well known, feared and expensive mercenary companies to hire called the Granite Fists and he wields the Amputator.
Biography
Grokagamok himself is massive, even by the standards of his kind. Covered in criss-crossing scars which are so many and dense that not a single patch of original tissue remains, he stands a head taller than any of his fellows, and noticeably broader.
In one hand he bears the massive axe known as the Amputator, a weapon which has earned its title many times over in the fierce battles Grokagamok has waged over the years.
Grokagamok is both a potent warrior and a highly able commander of his fellow ogre mercenaries, a rare combination and one that when complemented by his shrewd business acumen is responsible for his quite staggering rise to fame and fortune.
In common with many long-serving ogre mercenaries, Grokagamok very rarely returns to his homelands, preferring instead to dwell amongst the populations whose rulers employ him. Some have speculated however that he must by now have amassed a sizable horde of gold, yet, if so, none can say what he has done with it. Perhaps it is buried in some mountain cave or hidden in some ancient crypt only Grokagamok knows about.
He has fought for all of the noble races, and other, darker masters in his career, but Grokagamok tends to prefer fighting alongside men. Elves he find haughty and aloof, not impressed by his scatological humour and feeling themselves superior even to one who speaks their many dialects as flawlessly as he. Dwarfs he finds personable enough, with their solid belief in the power of promises and their promptness of payment, but he also finds their short stature a challenge, and is left with a persistent back ache whenever he has dealings with them.
Even orcs have sometimes hired his services, though they have occasionally found themselves unable or simply unwilling to pay, which has resulted in exchanges which were far more unpleasant for them than Grokagamok. Along the northern shores of the Infant Sea however, there tend to be many rich men who own small countries or city ports and find themselves often in need of the services of dependable mercenaries to defend their interests. These are Grokagamok’s bread and butter, and in recent years he has taken more and more to staying in that area.
Given his enormous length of experience, Grokagamok has acquired a wealth of tactical and strategic expertise which surpasses even that of his fellow ogres. Few indeed are the battlefield tricks which Grokagamok has not learned, perfected and even adapted, and never in the long and storied history of the Granite Fists has the band been defeated, no matter the foe.
Even in the rarefied company of his massive kin, Grokagamok is a legend, spoken of with equal reverence by his fellows as by those who have been fortunate enough to hire his services and the relatives of those unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of his attentions.
