Urrtz Groncheater

Urrtz Groncheater is an orc warlord, who until recently was in possession of Xaín Silversmoke's cherished heirloom blade, Silversong.

Biography
As a gladiator in the fighting pits of Ust Natha, Urrtz came head-to-head against Xaín in a well publicized title match. Despite Urrtz's brutal reputation earning him initial status as the crowd favorite, Xaín's fearless theatricality and nimble technique soon whipped the audience into a frenzy. As the duel continued, Urttz elected to employ a series of questionably ethical tactics, but Xaín still managed to defeat the orc evenhandedly. As Urrtz lay in the pit's sand bleeding from dozens of wounds, the crowd chanted for Xaín to issue his coup de grâce. The half-elf refused to indulge the audience's bloodlust, but with a flourish of his prized kukri he slashed the ceremonial knot from Urrtz's scalp, disgracing the orc in the eyes of all who witnessed.

After a fortnight of enjoying his newfound popularity among the Ust Natha citizenry, Xaín found himself caught unaware by Urrtz and a cadre of orc underlings. Xaín fought skill, but was soon overwhelmed by the orcs' superior numbers. Urrtz seized Xaín's kukri and was poised to use it to end the half-elf's life when Xaín's friends Donal and Gargal happened upon the scene, chasing the orcs off.

In the years since, Urrtz re-fostered his reputation outside of the fighting pits, using his devious cunning to enlist a war band of murderous raiders.

The vicious orc was seen on the field of battle outside Garatome Keep in the employ of The Cult of the Dragon where he was still in possession of Xaín's kukri. Urrtz narrowly escaped Xaín's wrath at Garatome, but the two crossed paths again in the dungeons beneath Neverwinter where the orc had allied himself with the demonic Cult of Zixael. Xaín engaged the orc in battle once more before reclaiming his beloved Silversong and dropping Urrtz Groncheater into a bottomless pit wherein it is presumed he met his fate.
