Kogar

Name
Chieftain Kogar Dreadmane, Centaur-slayer and defender of Mulgore. Leader of the Stronghoof Tribe, Tribal Council of The Beastmaw Clan (Called Dreadmane by the Centaur, Chieftain by his tribesmen and Kogar by his friends)

Physical Traits
Kogar's burly muscles and wide build, along with his gleaming white horns give him a fearsome appearance but infact this Tauren is gentle and compassionate to all creatures. His fur is black, but has a tinge of grey on his chest and on the insides of his arms. A golden nose ring was pierced on Kogar's snout when he was just coming of age, as is tradition in his tribe. His long black mane is usually platted down around his face and Kogar bears many scars on his face and snout. His height is 9.7 ft and he weighs around 900 pounds.

Kogar wanders alone with only his black lion Moro for company, Kogar managed to befriend the beast at a young age and they have been inseparable since. Recently, Kogar found a small black egg, which later hatched into an Ancona chicken. Kogar is rarely seen without it, as the tiny creature fascinates him. During The Earthfury Clan tournament, Kogar lost his right horn in a fierce battle with the ogre Mo'grosh.

He would usually be seen wearing his tribal clothing, a fur loincloth which is hidden under his tabard - he has a life mate and does not want other females getting any ideas - golden fur boots with rings of metal weaved into them, red pointed shoulderpads made from the thick hides of kodos, fur gloves in the same style of his boots, a thick bear cloak on his back and Kogar usually carries a bone spear or a great axe.

Kogar is around 90 years old, which makes him an adult Tauren in the prime of his life.

Personality
Kogar is a very respectful and calm Tauren, he doesn't get angry easily but is wary of strangers. He is quite protective of his tribe, his mate and his children. He warms slowly to strangers, and believes strongly in honour and truth. Kogar has such a great respect and bond with nature that he despises anyone who would seek to plunder and defile the land. Naturally like most Tauren he worships the Earthmother and believes all her children should pay their respects to her every day as he does.

Kogar has a strong respect for the orcs since he regards their honouring of the spirits and their ancestors to be similar to his faith. He admires most orcs for striving to preserve their honour by turning away from the demonic taint. Kogar is wary of trolls as he views them as a mysterious race, he sometimes finds their traditions a little barbaric but respects them all the same. However, Kogar does not trust the Forsaken and Sin'dorei at all. The Forsaken stand as abominations to the respect and value for life Kogar holds. The arcane addiction of the Blood Elves forces Kogar not to trust them, he views arcane magic as 'evil, seductive' magic that warps its users.
