Physical traits
Rocmar has black hair in a top knot and a matted beard. He has a scar running down from his right eye to his cheek, Rocmar is blind in his right eye and when it is seen the eye itself is a milky white colour and around the eye socket is a lot of scar tissue. Rocmar has a Frostwolf clan symbol tattooed on his chest.

Personality, opinions and values
Rocmar is a fiercely proud individual and has been noted in the past for speaking his mind without thought of retaliation from others, he believes that loyalty and honour should be upheld above all else, although he doesnt seem to reflect that opinion directly. Although being openly hostile to the forsaken and blood elf race he, after the northrend campaigns, his attitude has become less hostile toward the blood elves, and has started to base his opinions on the individual rather than the whole race. The Forsaken, however, he is still very cautious with.

Values and attitude towards his own race.

Rocmar has a stern belief that every orc, when they reach adulthood, should be self-reliant and never ask for charity. He also believes that protecting your family should come before your own needs, loyalties or honour. He had shown this ideal to be very important to him, when he had disobeyed orders from his superiors to go and look for his child and mate, when they had gone missing for a time. He also has strong opinions on keeping the orcish ways alive. Wanting his people to further retain thier own distinct identity among the collective races of the horde.

Views on death knights and the Forsaken.

Rocmar is torn with his views on death knights, particularly orcish ones. Although has has infact fought and shed blood with these fallen heroes, yet he still believes the dead should stay dead, while still being honoured, as while reanimation is an abominable thing, he cannot shake the fact that these "knights" once served the horde. The forsaken however, he seems to have a direct and hostile attitude toward this race of, as he has nicknamed them "rot skins." He has a stern belief that they would not hesitate to kill him in his sleep if they were given the oppurtunity. He, along with many of the Beastmaw and former Earthfury Clan have been used and betrayed in the past by the Forsaken.

Attitude towards war and peace.

Again, Rocmar is torn with his opinions. He believes that battle is a vital and sacred part of the orcish peoples culture and heritage. Should it be for sport, honour, vengence or any other cause. This has lead Rocmar to be more and more warlike, even among his peers growing up. But it was in recent years Rocmar's attitude towards peace has become less exetreme and now with his second child and a mate, his views on peace have shifted dramatically. He believe's peace to be a reward, earned through toil and bloodshed. To spend time with his family, to cherish what he has, although he will never openly admit it.

Battle lust.

Rocmar will get into period's of rage or a need to fight. It is an addiction on many levels when this happens. The shamans had told him this was the inner primal being of Rocmar needing to satiate its hunger, fortunately this does not happen often to him, and when it does. He either deals with it by setting out to find a battle, or going out into the wilds for long periods of meditation. He has been known for going into the barrens and aiding against the many raids of the Alliance, Centaur and any other foe that he would find during these periods of rage and near unsatiable battle lust.

Allies and enemies
Rocmar, suprisingly with the attitude that he has, has earned himself some allies within the horde that has served him well in the past and continue to do so in the present.

Allies

Hirgma - Rocmar's mate. Hirgma is a warrior aswell as a mate and it is for this reason including her strength, combat prowess and general personality and being that lead him to fall in love with her near instantly. He would eagerly sacrifice himself to know that Hirgma and his daughter were safe, if it came to such drastic decisions.

The Beastmaw Clan - Rocmar, despite his attitude toward some of the clan's new bloods, he could not dream of a better clan to call his brothers and sisters and to serve beside in the many conflicts that have came and went, Rocmar has a fierce and unrelenting feeling of deep loyalty for his clan.

More coming soon.

Race and class
Orc shaman. Rocmar's family history has been that of warriors, very few of his family have took up the shaman mantle and although he thinks it a blessing and possibly one of the highest honour's to be considered a shaman he tries to honour his family line as a warrior. It is known he still pay's respects and meditates to keep his bond with the spirits sacred and especially with that of the spirits of the wilds and the wolf. He genuinely only asks for the spirits help in matters when it is necessary, though in some cases of battle it has been noted that sometimes Rocmar is prone to go into a beserk wolf-like rage alongside Winterfang (his Frostwolf companion) and even grow fangs and claws, jumping from foe to foe, killing without end. The first time this happend Rocmar sought advice and guidance from both the spirits and other shaman during a journey to Alterac to find answers. He got an answer - he was told he was bestowed with the primal abilities of the wolf spirit and can call on even wolf companions from the spirit realm when the need arises. Upon receiving this answer he was dubbed "Wolves champion" or "Champion of the wolf".

Background
Being rewritten.

Rocmar's position and role within The Beastmaw Clan
Rocmar is one of the Beastmaw Clan's champions. With his past efforts serving the Earthfury as high-shaman and especially on the battlefields... Torakk deemed his position in the Beastmaw "unquestionable". To this day he remains a champion of the Wolf, and a champion of the Beastmaw.

Notes on shamanism and magic
Rocmar has great respect for practitioners of the shamanism across most racial fronts, especially his own kin, his view is shamanism is one of the cornerstones of the ways of the Orcish people. His views on magic of the arcane and its practitioners are generally cautious, although he has befriended some. He is still opposed to most things similar to sorcery. They are unnatural and not to be trusted. Although he has admitted in the past that some of the practitioners of these forms of magic have brought death across the battlefield against his enemies, and is careful with his opinions at some points.

Wolf companions
Rocmar...being a frostwolf has great respect for these animals and also being a shaman increases his companionship with the wolves.

Winterfang - The massive frostwolf was given to him upon the death of his father. Its white coat and large fangs are awesome to behold.

Kul'var - this is a black war wolf that was given to him when he was given the position of stone guard commander by the warchief. He named the wolf in honour of his father.

Timberfury - This wolf he had found in the stonetalon mountains defending its fallen mate and cub while on a hunting run for the late Earthfury clan. He found immediate companionship with the animal and thought it was only fitting he took it and its cub into his care. It now aids him as both a war wolf and regular mount.

Timberfury's cub - This small worg is usually always seen at Rocmars side. He cares for it and feeds it regularly.

Rocmar's tales
The reunion and the last salute - Rocmar journey's to reunite with his grandfather. For the last time.

"Elf assasins!" - a short tale of ambush and mead.

The barrens attack - Rocmar is fighting in the barrens.

Influences
There are many influences that take shape in Rocmar, some more so than others. My main ones would be the Vikings. Rocmar Ive found shows strong similarities to the viking's. He fights when need be and he enjoy's a good mead and the bounty of the hunt. Like most orcs I suppose. The second strongest influence would be Robert E. Howards character - Conan. Like Conan, Rocmar is a firey warrior who is hard to tame, sometimes wanderlust.

Current Status
Alive. Either in the warrior city of Orgrimmar or the Barrens, recently returned to heal his injuries he recieved during the northrend campaign.
