Custom Lore Character



Character Backstory:

Grikug was born in the year FA 340 in the depths of Angband. His Father Surbag was an orc pittful orc servant who achieved little and died when Grikug was only 12. The only thing he recived from his father was black cloak in which he wore from them onward. Grikug was determined to be much more than that, for he had great wit and speed. He began to rise above the other lesser orcs and gained prominence in Angband. He eventuly gained enuogh power to become a captian in Morgoths armies and lead many victories against the elves. In a skirmish in the year FA 373 his left hand was cut off by a Noldor elf by the name of Enimoer. As soon as this happened he took up a Noldor spear that had slain on of his comrades and impaled the elf killing him instantly. After the skrimsish he found him self in the northern part of Thargelion near lake Helevorn. With all other orcs dead around him and the noldor regrouping he knew he must flee. It was the dead of night and he ran knowing that when the sun comes up he must flee its harmfal rays. He made his way west intill he came across greater Gelion river. Frantically searching for a ford he came across a small fishing boat on which he rode across. He went north and stumbled upon a group of five noldor soilders camped around a fire. He tried to sneak around them, but he stepped on a twig and the elves were alerted. He sure thought he was dead but strangely the elves did not kill him instead they tied him up and began to ask questions of Morgoths plans. Grikug knew little of the dark lords plans and what he knew he was not about to tell his masters most hated enemy. So the elves knowing that he was not going to answer his questions started to beat him and torture him. He slaped, punched, kicked intill his body was covered in brusies and he spat up blood. When one of the elves got close enough he spat on him this resulted in more savage beatings. Grikug would not speak the elves began to relize he was not going to talk so they tied him on to a tree and stabed him in his stomach leaving him to die. Grikug being an orc of high intelligence even compared to a man knew he must stop the bleeding or he was going to die. He manged to break free of the rope by cutting it with his concealed knife that elves did not see. Once free he ran over to the fire that was still going as the elves mistakenly left it going. He but his knife over the fire intill it was red hot and laid it flat over his wound cauterizing it. He howled such a screech every animal withen a five mile radius fled. Grikug contuid onward to Angband the journey was slow as he was still recovering from his wounds. When he came back his captain postion had been given to another orc since he was thought dead and he was given the lowly job of operating the gates of Angband. Grikug knew this is not want he wants to be for the rest of his life. So he challenged the at the time gate keeper Magra to a duel to decide the who will be in the role. Magra accepeted to duel thinking it will be easy since he was much bigger than Grikug. At noon in during the fifth day of the month   Víressë   year FA 374 out side Angband they battled. Magra using his strength swung his massive club at Grikug but dodged him. Grikug being much smarter than Magra threw his cloak aat Magra hitting him in his face blinding him. Then Grikug came from behind Magra kicked him in the knees and took his dagger and cut his back open causing him to bleed to death. After that Grikug became the gate keeper of angband from then onward.

I will be intelligent orc whose quick wit will help him get out of tricky situations. I will always carry an knife for killing and freeing me.
