Other: Grukog carries the famed staff that most all Annihilan favor. To most it resembles a glaive wreathed in fire.
Personality: Grukog is a vile wretched beast, his tastes include torture, dismemberment, and slaughter on a grand scale. He revels in the fact that he is able to instill true fear into his prey before devouring their life force with his demonic prowess. He is still maturing so he is prone to making amateur mistakes in the area where tactics are concerned; he usually leaves the planning up to those with a more vicious mind for such things, though if things do not go his way they are the first that he visits upon with his wrath.
Grukog is quick to rage when trying to prove himself among the Burning Legion, he feels he must secure a foothold to honor those who came before him and those who are weaker then he will fall to his might. He holds no fealty to either Demon or Mortal, he will slaughter any who stand in his path of obtaining an Overlord position within the Legions ranks in the Twisting Nether. When faced with death Grukog as most of his kind do welcomes it with open arms, he values a good death and enjoys the invitation to war. The creature fully embraces his life as a machine of destruction allowed to join the Legion for the sole purpose of conquering all who stand it the Legions path.
History:
Grukog was formed from some of the purest of hatreds within the Twisting Nether long ago. His brutal birthing and growth through combat forged him into the death machine that rages across the Nether currently. After Archimode granted the Annihilan membership into the Burning Legion Grukog still in his youth among his kind was forced to remain behind as one of the few to watch over the Legion Stronghold and his own devices, he grew bitter in his solitude from war and took too random slaughter and destruction among some of the smaller fiends within the universe beyond. Once the Legion was driven back from Azeroth Grukog took the chance to secure a small force behind him in hopes of gaining favor with those of more consequence within the Legion itself. His eyes set firmly on obtaining an Overlord position in order to bring himself great honor so that one day his name may be remembered among the likes of Mannaroth, and Azgalor. Forming new alliances within the Burning Legion including that of a crafty Nethrizem he swore to bring a great victory to his Demon King Azgalor.
With his small force readied behind him he first took his slaughter to Outlands where he encountered a rival faction of Demons that had abandoned the Legion, led by a vile Doomguard these Renegade Demons proved to be worthy foes. The Doomguard also looking to make a name among the demonic hordes began slaughtering Legion forces by the droves. It wasn’t until Grukog heeded the advice of a Nethrizem that he was able to draw the Doomguard and his forces into a final conflict near the great Volcano at the center of Shadowmoon. Grukog let his fury be known among the Legion that day as he tore through the ranks of the rival Doomguard and the coven that appeared to worship him. It was only after killing the traitorous beast that Grukog had discovered the creature had chosen to abandon the Legion for the vile Illidan Stormrage and his Illidari.
With this new information more traitors began to surface, Grukog began to wage what war he could in the name of the Legion but he was not the only one who sought to destroy Illidan’s forces. Both the Alliance and Horde took to the war as they tore their way through the Portal into Outlands. The Pit Lord now fought a three sided war against the Illidari, the Alliance, and the Horde.
The gateway was now open and Grukog sought to vanquish his lesser foes first thus he ripped into Azeroth slaughtering his way through the Blasted Lands. His forces met their match in the Alliance as they neared their outlining borders; he was met by a powerful Magus and a well-trained retinue of ruthless Alliance Paladins. Together the Magus and his Paladins banished Grukog from Azeroth along with his Demonic forces. A great many lives were claimed that day and the field was soaked in the blood of the dead earning the young Pit Lord his title among the mortals, Grukog “The Bloody” they called him as their scribes scratched his name in ink.
Nearly a decade had passed by in the realm of mortals but to Grukog it felt like an eternity within the Stronghold of the Nether. The vicious beast allowed his rage to fester into something more, something unique. Having once more reached out to the Nethrizem for their cunning minds Grukog began to plan and plot his revenge against those who sent him asunder from his rightful victory. With hate in his breast the Pit Lord once again amassed his slaughtering horde of fiends and loosed himself upon the cosmos and Outlands. Though he knew this time the war against his mortal foes would not be one that he could win on sheer brute prowess, not yet anyways. Heeding the council advice of his allies in the Nethrizem Grukog appointed loyal Fel Sworn to serve as his direct link to Azeroth. With a fevered pace they would serve their Master well gathering what he needed to be summoned once more into the plane of the living.
With the forces in Outlands thinning due to the recent combat in Northrend against Arthas the Lich King and the return of Death Wing Grukog saw an opportunity to slip back into the newly shattered world of Azeroth and claim his place among the greatest Legion names to have ever conquered. Having succeeded in gathering his followers he sent his Fel Sworn emissaries from the stronghold in Shadowmoon to Azeroth where they made land fall in Descolace, Deadwind, and Duskwood. From there they have spread like a wild fire among the underworld gathering those loyal to the Legion and the Calling. Leaving behind sigils that whisper to those loyal to the Legion telling them that their great chance to serve is coming and their destiny is finally at hand.
Grukog now makes ready to finish off his rival Brethren who turned their back on the Legion and those who would claim his glory for their own. With his forces rallied and the time of the Cataclysm at hand the Pit Lord surges forth to wage his battle against those unsuspecting. His Fel Sworn summon both him and his forces from the great Nether and together Grukog seeks his vengeance bringing battle to Azeroth once again. The Pit Lord will stop at nothing to see the world bathed in the fires of death and war.

Reason: To raise some bad guy hell with my demonic biceps!
Having a hard time with his History, wanted to move it along good as though I were speaking to y'all but I feel it needs more girth personally so if his History is an issue I agree. Also I'm having a hard time just "making" stuff up for his History as I feel I've little to go on with their society etc. I researched a lot of Barbarian and Viking societies and how they carry themselves within it as I feel the love of bloodshed and war would tie them all together in some way. I've found similarities that I could twist into forming a society for the Annihilan but without over stepping bounds and wading into Custom Lore areas I did the best I could with his History lol.
