Shak'Karukat (Level 15)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.
