Gorkil

Gorkil is one of the four children of Krug.

Biography

Gorkil was the second born of Krug’s children with his lifemate Grahla. He quickly grew to be, like all of Krug and Grahla’s kubs, tall and highly muscular. His dark lily pad green skin was marred with both smooth, shiny skin, from old and near faded scars, and the newer and sometimes still open wounds. He was a competent fighter, however he was always to be shown up by his older brother Rax. Rax was capable of beating Gorkil or any of their other siblings ever since they had learned to fight, much to the displeasure of Gorkil, who had to deal with living directly in the shadow of an Uruk whose strength was surpassed only by Krug.

While Rax overshadowed his siblings in strength, Gorkil made up for it with a knack for strategy and management. He was frequently put in charge of overseeing repairs to the fortifications inside Krugmar and occasionally even assisted his father in planning battles. Along with his strategic acumen, Gorkil was renowned for his bravery and his love for his family. While it’s well known Gorkil and Rax did not get along at all, family and honor were the two things closest to Gorkil’s heart, above all else. He was especially close with his sister, Dom. Since the day she was born, Gorkil had sworn to protect her and make sure she would become as great an Uruk as he would.

Gorkil had several notable children. The firstborn, Angbad, was Gorkil’s favored son, inheriting his father’s tactical genius, and he would grow up to found the Gorkil Clan. The second, Azog, the runt of the litter, grew up to be one of the greatest smiths the world has ever seen. Ugluk, the third born son, was renowned for his skill as a warrior. The latter two sons, while not the favored of Gorkil, would go on to be great in their own right and have clans made in honor of them.
