Korgath (Age approximately 32, Birth date unknown) a towering giantman from the rugged T'Kirem Bear Clan, has lived a life marked by the unforgiving wilderness and the fierce camaraderie of his people. His early years were steeped in the traditions of the Bear Clan, where he learned to value strength, resilience, and the primal joy of living in harmony with nature. Korgath's immense physical prowess was evident from a young age, making him a natural warrior. The wilderness of the Dragonspine Mountains served as his first battlefield, where he honed his skills against the harsh elements and wild beasts. His reputation as a formidable fighter grew with each passing year, as did his impulsiveness and tendency to quickly succumb to anger, traits that often led him into trouble but also forged him into a resilient and fearless warrior known beyond the confines of his homeland, Highmount.

Korgath's life took a dramatic turn when he met Maros (platinum), a dark elf wizard of some renown. Intrigued by the wizard's mysterious aura and promise of adventure, Korgath agreed to become his mercenary. This partnership led him to explore lands far beyond his clan's territory, exposing him to cultures and challenges he had never imagined. His loyalty to Maros grew strong, even as he struggled with the wizard's enigmatic nature and their often morally ambiguous undertakings. Despite his rough exterior and love for crude pleasures, Korgath strives to maintain the oath of his clan while navigating the complex world beyond its borders.

Appearance

You see Korgath.
He appears to be a Giantman of the T'Kirem Clan.
He is very tall. He appears to be very young. He has bloodshot stormy grey eyes and tanned skin. He has long, unkempt deep red hair worn in elaborate braids. He has a weathered face, a broad nose and a grizzled beard.
He is holding a glaes-hilted dark ghezyte claidhmore with scintillating chromatic edges in his right hand.
He is wearing a pale drakar greathelm with a black obsidian visor, a darkly stained doeskin cloak with beaded accents, some crossed leather back sheaths with a cracked vaalorn broadsword strapped to it, an expose-stitched black and brown suede backpack, a quilted ebon rackhal vest fitted with a series of round onyx buttons, a formal bearskin tabard, a plain cotton shirt with a slightly ripped neckline, a kelyn-traced golvern breastplate, a solid vultite armband inlaid with an onyx bear, a set of articulated steel gauntlets buckled down the forearms, a vruul skin sporran with a bear claw clasp, a distressed doeskin bag fringed with various talons, a dark cordovan case whipstitched with rawhide laces, a blackworked bull minotaur horn with a silver mouthpiece, a lightweight solar tartan great-kilt with a long swathe pinned at the left shoulder, a small brass cog suspended from a thin silver chain, and a pair of chestnut nubuck leather boots tightly buckled from knee to ankle.

Significant Items

a glaes-hilted dark ghezyte claidhmore with scintillating chromatic edges
"An oily sheen reflects off the surface of the claidhmore, its warped edges tinged with scintillating chromatic hues. The deep onyx coloration of the ghezyte blade is straited with thin, silvery veins that barely peak through the surface of its fuller, forming a nearly indistinct word in the Common language. A hilt of twisted, multihued glaes is bound with chaotically etched silver bands that congregate and wreath the pommel, forming a chelioboros with indigo pearl eyes. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the claidhmore."
There appears to be something written on it. ~ D ~e~ S ~o~ L ~a~ T ~o~ R ~

In the hands of Korgath, this claidhmore is not merely a weapon; it's a symbol of his ferocious strength and unyielding loyalty. Gifted by Maros (platinum) as payment for services rendered, this artifact was rumored to be discovered in the depths surrounding Caligos Isle. The blade, forged from the rare and durable ghezyte, stands as a testament to his might and the dark mysteries that surround his explorations. In battle, it strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies, especially the undead he so despises, embodying the raw, untamed essence of his warrior spirit.
