* ''' Valendil '''
 
−
<blockquote>Elven wildlander. Was in pursuit of a trio of Orcs bearing a female captive into the woods, only to see a fourth Orc ambush and slay two of them. The third Orc fled into the woods; Valendil was able to finish him off easily from a distance, but not before seeing Durgaz press a fallen Orc’s dagger into the captive’s hand and instruct her to flee. He tracked the mysterious Orc to his campsite and, after observing him for a day or two, revealed himself and offered parlay. Durgaz has assisted the elf's band on more than one occasion since.</blockquote>
 
−
* ''' Walden Mikhail '''
 
−
<blockquote>An elderly man who lives in a remote cottage outside [insert village name here] and makes a living selling poultices and herbal remedies to the townsfolk. Durgaz initially witnessed the man plying his trade from a distance. Later, having been badly injured by a bear, he dragged himself to the old man’s door and offered to trade fresh-caught game for healing. To his surprise, the old man readily agreed: he was, Durgaz realized, completely blind. Since then, Durgaz has often brought the man gifts of meat and vegetables, sometimes (though not always) requesting  the old man’s concoctions in return, and even shared meals with him from time to time. He only comes at night, and as far as he knows, the old man does not know that he is an Orc.</blockquote>
 
−
* ''' Marena Suzerain '''
 
−
<blockquote>Was pulled off the street and abducted by three Orcs several months ago, only to have a fourth Orc come unexpectedly to her aid. Like Ivor (see below), she probably wouldn’t be able to tell Durgaz from any other Orc. (For that matter, it’s not necessarily certain that Durgaz would be able to distinguish her from any other human female.)</blockquote>

−
Captain in command of Durgaz’s regiment, an ambitious Orc who never reported Durgaz’s treachery to his superiors because he feared it would reflect badly on his leadership abilities. On a personal level, however, considers the incident a stain on an otherwise perfect military record and would love to see Durgaz found and made an example of.

* ''' Radagug, the dog '''  
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Durgaz’s older brother (he has 4 brothers, and 5 half-brothers) by blood. Harbored a great deal of jealousy toward his younger brother, due to Durgaz’s superior ability and skill with arms. When Durgaz deserted, Talûn-karkû assigned him to his brother’s position, but made no secret of the disdain he felt for any and all of the traitor’s family.

<blockquote>
 
−
Durgaz slaughtered his family two years ago. Ivor himself lost his right arm at the shoulder and was left for dead among the corpses of his friends and family. He has since become an active agent for those opposing the Shadow in [some local village]. Whether he would be able to distinguish Durgaz from any other orc … well, that depends on how well he remembers the night he lost everything and his life changed forever.

===Locations===
 
−
* ''' Durgaz's Campsite '''
 
−
<blockquote>It’s not much, just a rope, a few cut saplings and a large piece of canvas, but it’s home. Durgaz has been living out here in the woods since shortly after his defection; he spends the majority of his time hunting or gathering food when necessary and occasionally visiting with Walden. The rest of the time, he keeps an eye on what he knows are routes well traveled by Orcish armies, committing sabotage or assassinations when possible. Valendil (see above) knows where he is, although Durgaz does not know the location of the elves' camp.</blockquote>

===Organizations===
 
−
* ''' Dafrum-Dâgalûr '''
 
−
<blockquote>Durgaz’s old regiment, consisting of somewhere between 400 and 500 Orcs at any given time. Led by Talûn-karkû, the white worm (see above), a fearsome Orc with a distinctive mane of white hair. Consists of members from approximately a dozen families, all of whom are constantly jockeying for position within the regiment (whose leaders are, of course, doing the same within the army of which the regiment is part.) Durgaz’s treachery is not tremendously well-known within the regiment, as open discussion of the incident tends to rouse Talûn-karkû’s anger. Among those that do know, not much is known beyond the fact that Durgaz went mad, killed two fellow soldiers and fled. It is assumed that he is dead.</blockquote>
 
−
* ''' The Azog-Hai '''
 
−
<blockquote>Durgaz’s tribe, consisting of 3000+ Orcs. Durgaz’s father was killed long ago in battle; his mother is a skilled herbalist as well as a practiced hand in the politics of the tribal leadership. She does not know about Durgaz’s treachery; odds are high that she would not especially care, given that she has more than twenty other children.</blockquote>
