Grumba

A powerful  Ogre captain and second-in-command of Tarnum's forces during the events of The World Tree and The Fiery Moon. Respected by the others for his combat prowess, Tarnum chose him because he didn't seem ambitious enough to challenge Tarnum for leadership of the army.

Story

While defending the World Tree against the Necromancers and Followers of Vorr, Tarnum came up with a plan to turn King Targor (leader of the Followers of Vorr against Vorr himself. As part of this plan, Tarnum sent Grumba to retrieve the Pendant of Total Recall. Once he found it, he left part of his force to guard it for Tarnum before going off to find and trap King Targor's forces before they could escape. The plan succeeded and King Targor turned against Vorr before being killed. With the World Tree successfully defended, Tarnum, Grumba and their forces pursued Vorr to the Fiery Moon.

On the way, they came across the familiar, Skizzik, who acted as their guide. Grumba initially suspected him of being a spy, but grew to like the familiar when he showed the boldness to stand up to Grumba. When Tarnum's forces finally caught up to Vorr, a fierce battle ensued. Vorr commanded powerful magic and Grumba was killed, consumed in a blaze hot enough to melt steel. Tarnum was forced to retreat and Grumba's role as second-in-command was later filled by the familiar, Skizzik.
