Thogarn

This half-orc is dressed in a breastplate made from harden wood that has a slight metallic gleam to it. Across his waist and over his shoulders are clothes made of pelts of animals that he has hunted and killed with his own hands. Upon his brow, a crown made of many, small dragon teeth. And at his side, an adult boar, clad in chain mail. Yet, for all this finery of a warrior culture, he seems young. His scars are still fresh and not a single wrinkle of age crosses his pale green skin. His gaze seems friendly enough, but his eyes are ever-watchful for threats on the horizon, as if he is worried about something that has not come to pass.

That would probably also explain the heavy mace made of byeshk that he clenches repeatedly; a crackling of latent energy that is only overshadowed by the disproportionately loud noise every time he sets it to the ground.

Thogarn is young for the current leader of the Gatekeepers; a mere 25 years old. But he has done something that few Gatekeepers have ever been able to do, even if indirectly. With the help of the party, he managed to restore the Dimensional Seal that keeps the Blind Mother, the original progenitor beholder, locked underneath the Evercrescent Observatory in the Eldeen Reaches. His relationship with the party also helped saved the life of his cousin Dagarak d'Tharashk and ultimately resulted in the elimination of the mind flayers of Znir in Droaam. Granted, all of these events would not be possible with his involvement with the party and he is grateful for their support. Whether or not he keeps the mantle of leadership in the days to come is another matter entirely.
