Upon opening the pages of the book a voice speaks from thin air

'Ello mon! So you've found da journal of Bogatuus, or Bog to his friends and Company. Dis must mean I be dead, or my journal was left 'ere to make room fer more alcohol in my pack. Eider way, enjoy da read and if ya got da copper to spare I pay ya back if ya mail it to me at da Crossroads.

Description

For the most part Bogatuus appears as a happy wanderer. Laid back and easy going are his style. He likes to joke around and speaks often of his family. When speaking of Alliance races though he tends to display more of the traditional Troll savagery and display a darker side of his personality.

Background

Like the majority of Darkspear Trolls, Bogatuus spent most of his childhood in Sen'jin village. Like his affinity for drinking, his affinity for magic was also discovered at an early age. When he wasn't sitting around drinking and smoking with the other young trolls, Bogatuus was made to study and practice magic. Too laid back for his own good, Bogatuus has never really taken his studies very seriously until recently.

Bogatuus grew up quickly when his immediately family, his brother Legatuus and his mother "Ma" wanted to make a journey to the goblin town of Ratchet and get some supplies fresh in from Booty Bay. Bogatuus was traveling with them and they had just left the Crossroads when Alliance raiders descended upon the town engaging in wholesale slaughter. Bogatuus had some magic to defend himself, but not enough to save his family. When the Horde defenders finally drove back the raiders they found Bogatuus alive, but said the Tauren Shaman that found him said that the spirits of his brother and mother had moved beyond and they could not be brought back.

That Alliance raid lit a fire in Bogatuus, a rage unlike any he had ever felt before. The Horde and Alliance were supposed to have a truce, but it was clear that the Alliance had no control over their people. Perhaps in a war such actions by the Alliance would have been justified, but this was wholesale slaughter of anything that moved. They wanted to burn and kill, not even stopping to steal anything like a pirate raider would have.

Soon after the Crossroads incident he signed to join the Horde fight and was sent to the Valley of Trials to prove himself worthy. As he left the Horde proving grounds Bogatuus found a recruitment poster for the Blacksky Company at the Inn in Razor Hill. He knew in Thrall's army that he would be much more confined in his actions, but since a legitimate mercenary company fulfilled the requirements of serving in the Horde Army perhaps he could find more freedom to seek training and vengeance against the Alliance there.

Sworn in as a Soldier of the Blacksky Company Bogatuus promised to his new Captain and himself that he would prove himself worthy of the history of the Company and as a valuable soldier.

Relations with Other Horde Races

Orcs: Bogatuus likes the Orcs. They saved his people from the Murlocs so in his eyes they are honorable and worthy of respect. He follows the Darkspear Tribe's pact of serving the Horde and supporting Thrall.

Tauren: The Shaman say that the Tauren are a proud and noble people. From all that Bogatuus has seen this is absolutely true.

Forsaken: Bogatuus has a hard time trusting the Forsaken. He has not been given a reason to distrust them, but it is just a gut feeling. The difference between Troll and the other races might be large, but the difference between the living and the dead are huge and it is hard to read the intent of the Forsaken. However, as long as they are allies of the Horde and members of the Blacksky Company Bogatuus will fight alongside them and even try to be their friend if they will allow it.

Company History

So far Bogatuus has not been involved in any Company actions. He has spent a lot of time doing minor troubleshooting in the Barrens and working on making contacts on both continents.

He has spent a short time working alongside the occasional company member he has passed on the road and always will stop and salute a fellow member of the Blacksky Company. He'll never turn down a request for aid from a Company member if he can help it.
