Cho'gall, Initiate of the Fifth Circle of the Shadow Council and Chieftain of the Twilight's Hammer Clan, was a two-headed ogre and the first of the ogre magi.
Biography
Cho'gall was a two-headed ogre - alongside Blackheart, one of the first seen in many generations - and was trained in the arts of the arcane by the warlock Gul'dan, who aided the struggling ogre in mastering the powers of the Twisting Nether. In time, Cho'gall became one of the most feared and venerated members of the Old Horde during the First and Second Wars against the humans.
Though Cho'gall was extremely powerful, he was also dangerously insane. Cho'gall created and led his own clan known as the Twilight's Hammer. Less of a tribe and more of a religious cult, the Twilight's Hammer was devoted to bringing about the apocalypse. In his capacity as a chieftain and as the right hand of Gul'dan, Cho'gall aided his master in the creation of the death knights, the Altars of Storms, and the transformation of normal ogres into ogre magi.
Cho'gall and the Twilight's Hammer followed Gul'dan and the Stormreaver Clan when the warlock went to discover the Tomb of Sargeras. Though he did not enter the tomb himself, Cho'gall died defending Gul'dan at the Tomb from the Black Tooth Grin led by Rend and Maim, the sons of Blackhand, who had been sent by Orgrim Doomhammer to destroy the traitor clans that had abandoned the war on the Alliance just before the final push on Capital City. While many perished on the Broken Isles, some members of the Twilight's Hammer clan were able to survive the death of their master, and manage to persist on the fringes of both the Alliance and the Horde.
