'''Thoradin''' was the leader of the [[Arathi]] tribe of humans. He led them to unify the various human tribes into the great nation of [[Arathor]], founded the capital of [[Strom]], and forged an alliance with the [[high elf|high elves]] in the [[Troll War]]s.

'''Turok''' was the leader of a rogue band of [[ogres]] who were denied entrance into the [[Horde]] by [[Blackhand]] the Destroyer. Blackhand's own daughter, [[Griselda]], saw folly in his decision to reject them, and she fled, taking refuge with Turok's band of ogres beneath the [[Deadmines]]. Blackhand was enraged by her betrayal and sent a group into the Deadmines to track them down. On Blackhand's command, the ogres were wiped out and Griselda was killed. It is highly probable that Turok was also killed.
