Garuna
At certain times in Orcish history there have been warriors particularly attuned to the Blood Rage inherited from their Demonic ancestors. Garuna, born of a Shaman who was participating in a ritual sacrifice in spite of her advanced pregnancy, was brought into the world in the midst of a ceremony of bloodletting and intense fervor. Unsurprisingly she has become one of those famous "Blood Drinkers", and whenever a group of enemy units is wiped out she and her own troops become even more formidable on offense.

Gorshak
Orcs produce few natural leaders, as not only bravery and intelligence but also savagery is required to gain their respect. Gorshak is unusual in this; even other leaders look up to him for the prowess he has shown. During the great drought of the Year of the Fields of Dust he led a loose coalition of seven tribes on a six-month journey through desert, fire, attack by maddened beasts, war with Dwarven renegades, and flash floods. A chief among chieftains, they fight with particular zeal when he leads them.

Gotai (Campaign Hero)
A promising young war chief, Gotai's grim intensity separates him from other Orcs. While he shared their sense of clan loyalty, he was extremely - almost irrationally - loyal to Quroq, the warchief who adopted him when his own parents were killed by Yetis. With Quroq's passing, however, Gotai must find his own place in the world. Given his skills, that place is likely to be a lofty one.

Word of the Chief (2 Mana) Hero attacks the selected friendly creature (dealing his standard damage). This attack hastens the creature's turn, depending on the hero's level. Moreover, the target creature gets an additional number of rage points. This warcry does not work on undead, elemental and mechanical units.

Haggash
Haggash, an orphan found wandering in the steppes near Qutugh during the Year of the Sea of Manes, was taken in by a tribe of Centaurs and raised as one of them. Now a leader of Centaur troops, her half-man half-hellsteed legions are quicker, more reliable and dangerous.

Memory of our Blood All Stronghold creatures in the Barbarian's army get from 50 up to 100 rage points (randomly) at the beginning of combat.

Kilghan
Miscengenation is a taboo subject among the Orcs. Somehow, though, the sub-species of Goblins and Orcs mingled to provide the ruling line of Goblin lords. Smaller than Orcs, smarter than goblins, Kilghan and his kin accentuate the most dangerous aspects of both peoples. Goblins are eager to fight for him, and those that do are much less likely to flee if the battle turns against them.
» Specialty	» Attributes
Goblin King The number of Goblins in the hero's army increases weekly by an amount equal to the hero's level. The joining goblins will not be upgraded unless there already are upgraded Goblins in the army, and all upgraded Goblins will be joined by with a priority to Goblin Trappers. Also, the Goblin's chance to betray the hero will be reduced by 1% per hero level.	3 0 0 1 10

Ammo Cart Kilghan starts with an Ammo Cart.

Kragh
Kragh has been compared to "dry lightning"; thunderbolts that appear out of nowhere when the sky seems clear. He first received this nickname when an enemy he was dueling with was knocked weaponless outside the ring even before he had finished yelling his ritual challenge. Impetuous and aggressive even by Orc standards, his speed and intensity drive him to attack even before his own troops are ready.
» Specialty	» Attributes

Kujin (Campaign Hero)
Kujin is a shaman, an Orc mystic whose insights into the ways of Mother Earth and Father Sky give her access to powerful visions and magics. Beyond this, however, Kujin's natural intelligence and diplomacy have made her a respected leader as well. Tactful, wise, and learned, the Orcs say that her sole default is a lack of a sense of humour...

First Aid Tent Kujin starts with a First Aid Tent.

Kunyak (Campaign Hero)
Child of a created race, Kunyak boils at the horrific conditions in which his people live. Treated as slaves and viewed as no more "human" than the Wizards' golems, the Orcs cannot tolerate this treatment. Kunyak dreams of something else; of finding a place and building a homeland where Orcs live or die by their own hands, in freedom. He is convinced that the only hope for his people is to make this dream a reality.

Quroq (Campaign Hero)
Leader of an exploited people, Quroq does not hesitate to use force, guilt, guile, or cruelty to get his way. To him it is a simple matter of efficiency, and no act is considered to be unacceptable in the pursuit of his vision of the Orcish future. He is convinced that other races and peoples will always seek to persecute and enslave the Orc tribes, and he is no stranger to the idea that the best defence is a good offence.

Shak'Karukat
While Orc children as a rule are encouraged to be brave and savage, Shak'Karukat was an extreme. Largely uncontrollable starting from his teen years, his tribe feared that he would have to be exiled. It was a chance meeting with a vendor of Wyverns that saved him. Amazed by the power and cruelty of the beasts, he turned his energies into mastering them and making them even stronger. Whether it is affection or fear that drives them the Orcs cannot say, but his Wyverns are sturdier and seem to live longer in battle than others.

Telsek
Telsek! Orc Warriors raise their heads and a fire shines in their eyes when they hear his name. Raised by a proud family of warriors, he killed his first wolf at the age of six. Heavily armed caravans of grim slavers from the Free Cities were obliterated under his leadership ; their bodies strung along the sides of the main trade routes as a warning. A champion of the common Orcs, his troops vie to outdo each other in battle and earn a word of praise from this living legend.

Urghat
Urghat has been nicknamed both "the Invisible" and the "the Relentless". A hunter from her earliest days, her skills in tracking and traveling meant that her clan never went hungry. During the brutal cold of the Year of the Long Frost she not only slew many Yetis who prowled the winter camps in search of food, but she also tracked one for six days through snow and ice back to its pack where she spent the next week killing off the other thirty-seven members. Accustomed to traveling far and fast on any terrain, the troops she leads always get where they are going faster.
