RP Hooks
- Warsong Clan: Other members of the Warsong Clan may know him, or perhaps night elves who fought against him in Ashenvale during the Third War.
- Third War Vet: He was a young man during the war and fought in many battles, including the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
- The Brawlers Guild: Anyone who frequents the Brawlers Guild in the Deeprun Tram, would recognize him as the fight ring’s medic.
- The Hero of the Mag'har: He was chosen by Thrall to represent the Horde in Outland when dealing with the orcs there. It was his deeds that led to the Mag'har's induction into the New Horde, including the late Dranosh Saurfang and the now Warchief Garrosh Hellscream. His reputation proceeds him.
Appearance
About average height for an orc, but powerfully built with broad shoulders and thick, heavy limbs. His body is lean and well muscled. He looks very clean and well kept. His beard is neatly trimmed and he wears his hair back in a long, tidy braid. He can come off as a bit older than he is due to his calm nature, but his appearance and youthful vigor betray that he is still in his twenties.
Personality
Perceptive ⬥ Proud ⬥ Valorous ⬥ Volcanic
Calm and Quiet: He doesn’t often speak, so when he does choose to open his mouth, you know he thinks what he’s saying is important.
Wise Warrior: He is a fighter through and through, but doesn’t believe in causing harm for no reason.
Spirit of Battle: Sees combat as an almost religious experience meant to test people’s strength and push them to become stronger, both physically and mentally.

History
Crim was born into the Warsong clan in Nagrand two years before the opening of the Dark Portal. He grew up traveling across Azeroth with his parents watching them and the rest of his clan do battle with the Alliance, and the prospect of him one day being able to join his brethren on the field of battle filled him with excitement. However, with the Horde’s ultimate defeat at the end of the Second War, the Horde was broken, and the Warsong clan was resigned to live a life of destitution on the outskirts of Lordaeron.
The clan that Crim became a man in was not the one he grew up longing to be a part of. Everywhere, his kinsman were growing weak and lethargic from their withdrawal from their connection to Mannoroth and the Burning Legion. The orcs were supposed to be strong, but after being soundly defeated he didn’t know what to think anymore. What were the orcs if their strength failed them?
This all changed when Thrall came to reconcile with the Warsong clan to form a new Horde. He provided a new hope for their people, and after Crim saw Thrall connecting with the elements, he knew what his new calling was. He took up the mantle of shaman and traveled to Kalimdor with the Horde, putting his new skills to the test in the Third War.
With the War over now, though, Crim has taken to a life of wandering, fighting opponents as he finds them and protecting those who are in danger. He also strives to bring his new philosophy towards combat and life to others who might benefit from it and has gotten himself involved in prize fighting rings as a medic. However, as new threats continue to arise against Azeroth he has gained quite a reputation for himself as a champion of the Horde fighting in Outland, Northrend, and beyond in the defense of his people.
Relationships
| Roselash "A fearsome young warrior. I sense much turbulence in her heart, but she seems to be doing better as of late. In time I believe power of her rage will only be matched by the strength of her heart." |
| Dane Atley the Red "An indomitable human warrior. If all the Alliance showed his resolve, the Horde could never stand against it. Fate has made our paths cross many times. I can sense some greater destiny between us in the future. However, whether this leads to us fighting back to back or face to face yet remains to be seen." |
| Nack "A shrewd businessman. I have little inclination towards his vocation, however I respect his skill at it. His services have proved invaluable on more than one occasion. He is a good man to know." |
| Oshok "He was like a second father to me during the Third War. I grew close with his son Egar then, taking him under my wing and teaching him the ways of the warrior. He was lost to us at the Wrathgate, but I still make sure to check on him. The weapons and armor he forged for me to take into battle in Icecrown I'm sure will serve me well for years to come." |
| Garrosh "The son of Hellscream, my chieftain and one of the greatest among us. I sense greatness in him, but his constant brash attitude makes me question his ability to lead. Even so, he does remind me much of Grom. Perhaps he will improve in time. Or perhaps the qualities I admired in his father were not as noble as I remember." |
| Ishaya "A gentle soul. Hers is particularly so, even among the tauren. Ever driven to find ways to cooperate rather than to fight, I believe that the orcs have much to learn from her example. However with conflict abounding for as long as it has from both within and without, I fear that she will be afforded little room to hold to those ideals." |
| Briyanthe "A blood elf priestess. She hosts events to promote a dialogue across racial lines in the Horde. She herself is also a proud proponent of the Holy Light, the religion of the humans. I pray that through learning more about one another we can strengthen our own bonds and perhaps one day form new ones with old enemies." |
