Valgos is a brutal assassin for hire and mercenary dedicate to Baragnagor, the primal creator god worshipped by the orcs of Mitra's Forest. He seeks to slay one thousand elves with his bloody axe, a commitment made to his dark god in his youth in exchange for the enchanted weapon. So far he has worked hard to keep at it, with three hundred kills to date. He collects the ears of elves and strings them on long braids made from the hair of Volgra, the hill giant witch woman who lives in the foothills of the Chaos Mountains, whom he has been courting for better than a year now since she bested him in combat and let him live. He also uses his helm of telepathy, which he acquired from an elf he slew when he snuck into the lake town of Daggerlan during the infamous Hallow's Raid two years back. He has figured out how the helm works and uses it to his advantage to avoid ambushes and in tracking foes.
