Race and class
Orc shaman. Although he is an elder shaman (not in age, in experience) and is skilled in serving and being a companion to the spirits he lacks the paitence of an elder shaman and sometimes acts more like the warrior he was bred to be. But he consults the spirits for council daily, believing the spirits guide him in all things.

Family and background


Rocmars father- Kul'var was chief war advisor to the cheiftains Garad and Durotan of the frostwolf clan so Rocmar -Much to Durotans disliking- was trained in the arts of war at an exetremely young age. At the age of nine Rocmar was found to be worthy to be trained as a shaman and was taken at the age of nine, he returned seven years later now a full shaman and warrior of the frostwolf clan. During the coming of the burning legion and he second opening of the dark portal. The frostwolves remained one of the few clans that had not devoured the dark blood of Mannoroth and so fled to the Alterac Mountains. Kul'var was tasked with setting up his own village seperate to the frostwolf village, they had recieved word of an alliance scout camp and twenty frostwolves -Rocmar and his father included- were told to dispose of it... sadly the camp was but bait and an entire alliance legion was hiding in wait for them, the battle was fierce, but the alliance won. Twenty frostwolves against eighty alliance soldiers. Rocmar was left for dead, his father was assumed the leader of the attack and the alliance took his head. Days later a frostwolf party was sent out by Drek'thar - the newly appointed chieftain. To look for them, they found Rocmar dying and his father headless next to him. He was healed by the shamans and later had found that his fathers village was Raided and burned by the humans and elves, his mother and his mate - Dragak was residing there - no survivors, save his son - Gromkar. Since the silithid attacks on Stonetalon he has moved to Orgrimmar with the rest of the Beastmaw. Unaware of young Gromkar joining Torakk's clan behind his back.

Rocmar's position and role within The Earthfury Clan
Rocmar has been declared the clan's high-shaman. He is a shaman first, warrior second, the role of high-shaman is one of serious responsibility and he is proud to serve the clan in this way. Although somewhat nervous. He is sort of shy in the way of teaching others. Thinking that he is too unskilled for the task sometimes. He usually discards this and faces the task ahead. Rocmar has a great fondness for the wolves. And usually puts himself forward for the task of masking sure they are fed, bathed etc.. Despite being a shaman he is also a skilled warrrior and serves the clan as such. He is also a member of the tribal council and is called upon with the others in times of war to offer military opinion.

Notes on shamanism and magic
Despite being told to respect all races, Rocmar greatly distrusts the Bloodelf race. Although they were accepted by Thrall he still holds great distrust for this race, and any race that basically depends on magic greatly. Rocmar does not see shamanism as magic, he sees it as a way of communing with the earth and spirit realm. Rocmar believes that the way of mages and such tampers with the natural beings and spirits of the world. This angers the spirits and although some magic is useful is some situations they still greatly disturb Rocmar. He greatly respects people that use the magic of the earth and uphold the orcish peoples sacred traditions.

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 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.
