Draukorg Darnada, formerly known under his ceremonial title of Draukorg the Flesh-Ripper, is a battle-hardened Khargael serving underneath the ancient demonic entity known as Koth’tallaz. Draukorg is a battle-hardened veteran of many, many battles in his Clan - becoming a feared symbol of war and commanding loyalty and respect from individuals across the Khargaelic Hordes. Draukorg is widely known through the Hordes and the wider galaxy for his violent - and successful - revenge against the ancient Karkyx Band following the civilization’s insult of the Khargaelic Hordes, trapping a Karkyx regiment on a remote outpost and slaughtering the entire regiment. His power and his fame had made the Warlord of his Clan wary, and following a trap set by the Warlord, Draukorg was shamed and stripped of his title and armor, before being touched by Aberric Energy and being driven entirely mad, and then outcast. Draukorg eventually found his way to the Pits, earning his reputation as a feared animalistic Khargael who’s madness had stripped him of his sapience, ripping apart combatants and even eating them. Draukorg was found, and eventually had his sanity restored by, Koth’tallaz.
History[]
Characteristics[]
Personality[]
Before his induction to Koth’tallaz’s service, and in some cases even after, Draukoeg has always been defined by his honor, though his honor has been suppressed and warped by the demonic influence of Koth’tallaz. In the past, Draukorg was a vicious fighter who had no qualms with murdering, tormenting, and manipulating to get his way, and was directly responsible for the deaths of thousands as a Warchief. Despite this, Draukorg always kept his word, and always intentionally avoided senseless killing and the killing of those who he deemed as innocent or as bystanders, though this aspect of his honor now only rarely appears, killing innocents as however his master desires. As a former therusist, especially after being exposed to gruesome Khargael cult practices at a young age, Draukorg is fairly nihilistic and an avid realist, picking decisions based on efficiency and placing little faith in the actions and skills of those who are not him, preferring to take charge in plans that he makes or is included in. Draukorg naturally has a dominant personality, and his iron will makes sure that he refuses to serve any other entity; even his Warlords and Overlords were incapable of securing all of Draukorg’s loyalty, and even Koth’tallaz’s supernatural hold over Draukorg is unstable and prone to being broken or damaged. When it comes to combat, Draukorg is, as normal for a Khargael, extremely bloodthirsty and will refuse to relent his assault once drawing blood for the first time, only ceasing when his enemy(ies) are either dead, incapacitated, or surrendered, and will go through notable lengths to ensure victory is achieved. Since his driving to insanity and service under Koth’tallaz, Draukorg’s mental resolve has gotten even stronger than when he was a Warchief - and despite what Koth’tallaz has done to Draukorg, with descending him and brainwashing him, Draukorg’s inner honor and the heroism he is capable of carrying himself with cannot be erased all that easily, and Draukorg has briefly returned to his old Warchief personality various times in times of great duress, but is repeatedly coaxed back into Koth’tallaz’s control no matter how much of his old self returns.
Appearance[]
Draukorg is a massive specimen of Khargael, his size and strength imposing eve for a Warchief of the Hordes. Draukorg stands at an impressive and intimidating 10’ 7’’, and has a considerable weight of 2,300 pounds without his armor and weapons. his comparative youth has given his skin an ochre yellowish-tan coloration without the graying of aged Khargael. Draukorg’s tusk-like face bones are shorter compared to the average Khargael, but at the same time, the possesses an extra pair of zygomatic tusks. Both his zygomatic tusks and his skin color both originate from recessive genes originating from his mother. Draukorg is heavily built for a Khargael and his life as a Warchief, gladiator, and servant of Koth’tallaz has left him in an extremely fit and muscular state, of which he is far more muscular than the average Khargael. Draukorg wears a suit of obsidian-colored armor that he wore as a Warchief, of which was given back to him by Koth’tallaz and improved greatly. Draukorg wears the traditional Khargaelic honor garment on his back; two pairs of large curved decorations indicating his past rank and his strength. His armor has a series of skeletal decorations on it meant to intimidate his opponents, and a series of four and a half pairs of lights on his lower chest, which glow a warm orange. His shoulder pads are large, heavy, and extraordinarily thick, and his left shoulder pad has a series of decorative spines on it. His left arm has a hidden plasma shield on it - when activated, it springs up and unfolds into a several feet long shield that is filled with a translucent blue energy meant to block bullets while not obstructing his vision. In his demon form, Draukorg’s skin turns red and he is engulfed in a thin aura of fire - his eyes glow a malevolent red as his temporal horns and zygomatic tusks grow in size and number, and bony protrusions break through his shoulder armor. His height and weight grows by several feet as he transforms.
