As an intermediary between the mortal and spirit worlds, the Orc Shaman Tharnog's power is obtained from arcane knowledge gained from the realm beyond. In his younger days, his mystical skills were brandished as part of Queen Urkzaa's quiet resistance against the Orcs' servitude to The Legion of Arethyr. Inspired by Urkzaa's desire for Orcish freedom, Tharnog relocated himself and offered to wield his gifts for a righteous fight alongside Herra Serpenspire and The Convocation of Bassylia.
