Faragon

Faragon never knew his father, but his mother was a close friend of Grognak's. She raised Faragon by herself, teaching Faragon the orcish traditions, habits, and ways of fighting. A member of a fiercely independent tribe, she knew their peaceful way of life was threatened by the militant Blood Orc tribe. Knowing Grognak had been gathering half-orcs to protect and to train in self-defense, she entrusted a young Faragon to him just days before the Blood Orc tribe made their terrible attack on her clan. Since the attack, Faragon has lost contact his mom, who has now been missing for two years. Faragon fears the worst.

Dealing with the anxiety of his orcish upbringing and the way it sometimes clashed with some of the more human-like customs of Grognak's tribe, Faragon expressed his desire to try things his own way. Grognak let the strapping young half-orc flex his muscle, and gradually gave him more and more serious and independent tasks. This started with the job of setting up a smaller camp far to the north of the main campgrounds, one that could spy on the Starlight mountain pass and still be walking distance from the camp. Here, Faragon hunted, spied, and eventually even became a woodsman and lumberjack as side gigs for Grognak. Wise, tough, yet struggling to understand what it means to be a half-orc, Faragon is a misfit whose troubles are often masked by his wide smile, confidence, and uh, yeah that giant warhammer can grab one's attention away pretty fast too.

Faragon met Crush when the latter was told to clear the Starlight pass of the Goblin king Estovir and his goons. Passing through Faragon's camp, Crush rested up and found that Faragon had been finding very little animal activity on the mountain and was starving. After battling in the mountain, Crush emerged and trecked back to Faragon's camp to heal up. He also took on a quest to hunt for food for Faragon, and impressed the half-orc greatly with the bounty he was able to provide after taking out more of the goblin threat. Seeing Crush speak so passionately about ending the foul goblin king's reign peaked Faragon's interest, and he found himself talked into joining the adventure. These days, Faragon is Crush's right hand man and closest friend.
