Yog the Barbarian is a Stronghold hero.

Story

Yog as he appears in Heroes I. Yog (Wizard) is his profile for the Shadow of Death campaign "Birth of a Barbarian".

Yog's story of becoming a barbarian can be found in Yog (Wizard).

While fighting the necromancers, Yog finds and teams up with Crag Hack, a fellow barbarian. They slowly realize the enormity of Sandro's plans and then further team up with Gelu and Gem, who are fighting against Sandro as well. Together, they assemble the Angelic Alliance (the artifact Yog disassembled and dispersed while becoming a barbarian) to combat the powers of Sandro's artifacts. Once they defeat Sandro, the heroes break apart Sandro's artifacts (the Armor of the Damned and the Cloak of the Undead King) and disperse the pieces throughout Antagarich.

Appearances

Festival of Life
Clan War as an enemy.
Birth of a Barbarian
See his alternate profile for this campaign.
Unholy Alliance
Harvest as a player hero.
Secrets Revealed as a player hero.
Invasion as an enemy.
Barbarian Brothers as a player hero.
Union as a player hero.
Fall of Sandro as a player hero.

The following Heroes Chronicles campaign happens long before the Restoration Wars, so this appearance should not be considered canonical.

Warlords of the Wasteland
Trapped! in a prison.

Specialty

The in-game description "Increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Cyclopses or Cyclops Lords for each level attained after 6th level." is erroneous in "each level attained" moment, and lacks the speed bonus information. (Description is fixed in HotA Horn of the Abyss).

Unlike the native terrain speed bonus, the creature specialty speed bonus can affect the hero's movement points in case the creature is the slowest one in the army.

Shadow of Death Introduction

The following is a letter from Yog to the Wizards of Bracada at the start of the Shadow of Death manual that served as an introduction to the expansion's story:

To the Wizards of Bracada,

My tale is a long one, but I must tell it because there is no one else who will. After all, who would believe Crag Hack's bar room bragging? Gem seems to want certain events swept under the rug, never again revealed. I have heard nothing of Gelu since he found the cursed sword, Armageddon's Blade. So that leaves me to tell the tale history forgot.

I parted with you on shaky terms so very long ago. I may be a genie like my mother, but I have my father's adventurous spirit. Preferring the life I found in Krewlod, I had to leave the one you offered me in Bracada. It was on this journey of self-discovery that this tale has its earliest beginnings. After being accepted into Krewlod society, I began my wanderings and met three people near the Erathian-Deyjan border. The four of us were all searching for a new life and stumbled upon events far larger than each of our petty problems.

It was before the Restoration of Erathia war when I met and worked with the young Gelu, the beautiful Gem, and the barbaric Crag Hack. My three comrades were from such different backgrounds it is surprising we were able to work together. Crag Hack was an easygoing man, with a passion for combat, wine and lots of women. He made me smile and forget my own troubles for a while. When Gem wasn't slaughtering the forces of undead, she was a quiet and reserved woman with a kind heart. Gelu had barely graduated from the Forest Guard, ready for a fight and eager to prove himself. His seriousness was surprising in one so young and contrasted greatly against the boisterous Crag Hack.

Somehow we managed to stop a Necromancer, Sandro, who had plans for world domination. Manipulating Gem, Gelu and Crag Hack, he was able to reach Deyja with some very powerful items in his possession. Once there, he vaulted a puppet king, Finneas Vilmar, to the throne and threatened to conquer all of Antagarich.

My tale will begin in four separate places, but in the end you see that all of the events were intertwined, leading to the near destruction of us all.
