Groznak Twisting-Bough
Species
Orc
Appearance
Groznak carries the heft and broad-shouldered silhouette of a typical orc, but his movements are surprisingly graceful and fluid, more like a dancer or a cat than a hulking warrior. His skin bears multiple faded tribal tattoos that twist and crawl over his arms like living vines, a living homage to his clan's reverence for the wild woods. His face is rugged, marked with a prominent scar that arches over his left eyebrow and ends just beneath his sharp green eye, giving him a permanent look of intense focus, offset by an unexpected habit of bare-toothed smiling that can feel unnerving. His black hair is braided tightly into a single long tail that swings rhythmically as he walks, which contrasts oddly with his soft, deliberate gait. He wears a patchwork leather coat sewn from the pelts and fabrics gathered from every region he’s visited, filled with hidden pockets and rotating patches from different cultures, along with a bright crimson scarf he refuses to part with. About his neck hangs a loop of carved bone beads and a tiny wooden totem resembling a twisted bough—the namesake of his epithet. The contradiction lies in how his large hands are more adept at delicate trinkets and lockpicks than brute force, often fiddling nervously with small baubles in front of customers.
“Gruff yet melodic orcish-accented Common with frequent colorful metaphors from forest life. Speaks slowly and deliberately when negotiating, but speeds up and becomes animated when telling stories or excited.”
