Thorock

The Bo'sun and acting first mate of the ship Black Diamond, Thorock is a half-orc who helps guide the ship and her crew through its adventures.

Description
Thorock is over six and a half feet tall and almost 300 pounds - if his large nose and skin color didn't give his parentage away, his sheer size would. Unlike his captain, Thorock does not worry about such things as "looking presentable," and as such is often mistaken for a poor sod who roams the docks.

Personality
Thorock is as badass as they come - he knows his strengths, and he knows he can outfight most men. Though not as thoughful as most, he is not stupid, and the combination of his commen sense and physical prowless has served him well as he moved up in the ranks of the Black Diamond.

Thorock does enjoy the simple things in life, though: he can be the life of a party, and can hold his drink with the best of them. He also loves to eat, sing, and boast about the accomplishments of his ship. He is intently loyal to his captain and his crew.

History
Next to nothing is known about Thorock's past. It is known, rather strangely, that Thorock did carve the masthead of the Black Diamond, a beautifully carved and very ornate and naked mermaid.

Thorock was also the only sailor who seemed to stay at the Salty Seadog by choice, rather than necessity.

Thorock was the Bo'sun and acting first mate of the ship the Black Diamond, and helped Cap'n Dash make the ship the most successful in Calimport. As acting first mate, he was in charge of crew operation, and as a result has had the most interaction with the crew. Thorock was one of the few survivors when the Diamond was foundered during the Battle at Suldolphor

Thorock personally believed that Sciron Petzer had something to do with Dash's death, and his disappearance from Calimport has angered the half-orc. However, drawing even further wrath from the half-orc is the Fedallah, captain of the Predator.

Two weeks after the sinking of the Diamond, the Olanger of Suldolphor appointed Thorock captain of the Suldolphan warship Scorpion. His first mate is one Birgitte MacPhearson, his navigator is Gabby McFadden, and his two arms are Hig Hitomi and Awdan Surefoot. Thorock would like nothing more than to find the mysterious ship the Predator, and sink her to the depths of the Shining Sea.

Present Day
He got his wish in the fall of 1373, however it came at the cost of his life. Fedallah, unknown to Thorock or his crew, had taken the guise of the helmsman Derek Dragonsong. It the death and destruction that followed, Thorock was taken down by the paranoia of his own crew and the sharp rapier of Fedallah.
