An unlikely leader in some sense, Urzag found himself in the position of Warchief of the Horde after narrowly defeating his former friend and warchief Orakh in a desperate struggle to save his people from the corrupting Dark. To his brothers, Urzag possesses far too many human qualities: compassion, a slight touch of introversion and unwillingness to fight. Yet his love and concern for the Horde and breadth of vision cannot be denied, and thus Urzag’s less “orcish” qualities can be tolerated. Urzag’s long journey to the rank of War Chieftain has provided greater insight than typically afforded the average ruling orc, a skillset he put to good use in the first challenge of his new reign: the invasion of the Azure Dragon. Urzag led Bruszakk and the other brothers in a great battle against Azure the Great, who had an unfortunate penchant for feeding on orcs and goblins. The mighty band eventually slew the dragon, with Urzag delivering the final blow. In true orchish fashion, Urzag then bathed in the dragon’s blood, confident that he is increasingly becoming the strong leader his warriors require.
