The wars between the Goblins and the Dwarfs had just begun when Golgfag and his Ogre band emerged out of the northern darkness. Golgfag was the chief of the Rutdrogg clan and he saw the impending war as a good opportunity to gather loot and fresh meat. The Rutdroggs shambled out of their mountain homes and straight into the employ of Bogdan Legbreak, the chief of the Goblins of the Northern World Edge Mountains.

After a limited period of service Golgfag had taken part in several early actions of the war. The Rutdroggs proved themselves to be excellent troops, if somewhat indisiplined. One night, after and especially logn and intense drinking bout, Golgfag and Bogdan, who had never really liked each other much anyway, fell to arguing. Within moments the whole regiment was up and blood was flowing freely. By morning Golgfag's regiment had fought its way out of the Goblin stockade and taken to the woods.

Golgfag soon found employment again, this time fighting for the Dwarfs against his former allies. In this capacity he and his champion Grat'hud led a Dwarf party into the Goblins stronghold and slew Bogdan Legbreak in a bitter fight. Golgfag later established himself as one of the most adventurous leaders of the war and collected a great deal of gold, loot and captives before returning to his home in the frozen north.

Battlecry : Bestial in the extreme. A phonetic transcription would look something like 'Gruugh aghh aghh waaaa'. Recent scholorship by Ogre linguists has shed new light on this strange cry. It now appears to mean, 'I get so angry when I don't have a cooked breakfast.'

Deeds : The most popular story about Golgfag concerns the time that he was captured by the Dwarfs. He was imprisoned in the famous black hole of Raven's Hold, along with several dozen assorted goblinoids. Crammed into a tiny space, with no air and hardly enough room to breathe, the Dwarfs expected the occupents to die. However, when they opened the door the following morning the Dwarf jailers were agahst to see Golgfag chewing on the remains of the last Goblin. The cell was otherwise empty, although there was a great deal of gore and blood on the floor. The Dwarf leader was so awed by this feat that he ordered Golgfag to be taken a long long way away and released.

Uniforms : The Ogres wear long tunics down to their knees, with heavy breeches and boots. Over these tunics they wear mail armour and over their backs they have long furry cloaks. They tend to strap their shields over their backs during combat to allow themselves to wield their mighty war maces.
