Groctar

Towering and heavily built, Groctar carries the green hide common to orcs across a frame layered with thick muscle. His eyes burn a luminous red, and a tangle of long black hair falls behind him. Crossing his chest is a prominent X-shaped scar, while crimson markings trace patterns across the rest of his skin.

For clothing he keeps only a worn black loincloth, leaving most of his body bare. In combat he favors a gray blade fitted with a hilt of brownish yellow.

The essence stone embedded inside Groctar whispers constantly, and those voices feed a relentless urge to kill any human he encounters. That bloodlust comes paired with contempt for the high orcs, and he reacts with disgust whenever his own fighters fail to put them down.

For all his swagger and aggression, fear does reach him. He sharply deduces that Jinwoo's orc shadows are tethered to Jinah and would vanish if she died, yet when Jinwoo wipes out the tribe with ease, Groctar's composure breaks entirely.

Seated in his throne room, Groctar hears that his warriors are losing badly to a trio of high orcs. Fed up with their incompetence, he rises to handle the intruders personally. No matter how many times he carves the high orcs apart, they knit themselves back together, leading him to conclude they are bound to someone present and to single out Jinah as that anchor.

With the voices in his skull intensifying, he moves to crush her skull, but an immense presence surges toward the chamber from outside. Sensing the threat, Groctar drops Jinah, orders a retreat to the gate, and is left scattering for cover as Jinwoo and Kaisel smash through the wall in an explosion of debris.
