Ahead of the Curve

The Grim defeated Garrosh in a timely manner, and were rewarded their choice of the finest Kor’Kron warwolves from the stables.

Liberators of Orgrimmar

Garrosh, son of Grommash Hellscream, first learned of his father’s heroism when Thrall encountered the young orc in Outland. The seeds of pride were planted. Garrosh spearheaded Horde victories in Northrend and, as Warchief, consolidated Horde power amidst the chaos of the Cataclysm. But his visions of orc supremacy by any means have brought the armies of the world crashing down upon Orgrimmar . . . a final reckoning that Garrosh himself awaits with brutal relish.

While tainted, Garrosh was a worthy foe.  A pity he did not learn from his father’s mistakes and lost himself in his power.  Typical of most consumed with their own cult of personality, once his minions were no more, he could not stand against The Grim.  The Heart of Y’shaarj powered him, but the Grim persevered, and he was brought to his knees.

The Horde is reborn, stronger, and ready as ever.

Upon the Fields of Battle

The Grim forces have gained prestige upon the fields of battle against the Alliance. Led by Irredeemable Fanyare and aided by comrades who were once consumed by the Madness, The Grim fought hard battles against many foes. Many victories and many losses lay behind them. However, though all of this, we have endured and earned a strong foothold for the Horde in these turbulent times. The future before us shows signs of glorious conquest in the name of The Mandate. Peace Through Annihilation.

Downfall

After disposing of the Klaxxi Paragons, The Grim finally confronted the traitor Garrosh Hellscream within his fortress. Sitting upon his throne, surrounded by his followers and mechanical creations, he looked down on those that dared challenge his authority. Hatred, anger, and fear were his tools to conquer all of Azeroth and destroy the lives of anyone not part of his Horde. The world would be molded by his power.

But, The Mandate was stronger, and so were its bearers. For as long as a threat stands against our people, we will mete out destruction upon them. The Horde and its people will survive, even if its leaders fall to madness and corruption. Though the traitor Warchief still lives, his days are numbered. The Alliance will meddle in our affairs no longer.

Peace Through Annihilation.

The Call of the Creator

The Klaxxi have proven to be useful allies in the battles against their mad Empress but they were never Horde. The remaining Klaxxi’va Paragons stayed true to their creator, and followed Garrosh into the depths where the pulsing heart of Y’Shaarj beats on, calling its spawn home. The Grim specialize in extermination, unlucky for the Paragons, and we crushed them under our boots like so many of their bug cousins before them.

The nine surviving Klaxxi’va Paragons are ancient champions of the mantid who fought alongside the Wakener against the madness of Empress Shek’zeer. But the paragons, as do all mantid, hold a far deeper loyalty. When Garrosh unearthed the heart of Y’Shaarj, the paragons followed the whispers of their ancient creator to the iron halls beneath Orgrimmar.

Greed Leads to Blackfuse’s Demise

Goblins may not be very deadly when alone, or even in numbers if they are not provided tools to craft. That said, the craftiest of goblins can become a match for any foe with the right equipment. Siegecrafter Blackfuse was one of the best, but his lust for gold paid by Garrosh is his doom. Be it flesh and blood, or metal and oil, the Grim will put it down.

Helix Blackfuse was the only goblin with the combination of engineering prowess, professionalism and ruthlessness to satisfy Garrosh in his search for the engineer of the True Horde. . A mercenary at heart, Blackfuse’s love for his creations (and the gold they fetch) has forever linked his fate with that of his patron and Warchief.

Thok’s Thirst Is Quenched…

Thok the Bloodthirsty.  Our foes could not tame this beast, and the Grim were certainly not equipped to do such a thing either.   So we shall do what we do best, and give it a taste of our blades and magic.

When the Isle of Giants was discovered off the coast of Pandaria, teeming with primal devilsaurs, Garrosh sent men to capture some of the most fearsome specimens, hoping to subjugate them and use them as beasts of war. Countless orcish beastmasters have fallen to Thok’s jaws as they struggle to trap and cage him, yet the creature’s thirst for blood remains unslaked.

Thok

Thok the Bloodthirsty was not a willing servant of Garrosh’s forces, but the beast stood in the way of the Grim and had to be put down.

 

Gamon, the True Hero

I may be bruised and beaten, but the hatred boils inside me.
Many times have I fallen at the hands of an orc and many times have I risen again. But never again!
For every orc that struck me, I will cleave a thousand of their skulls!
This. Ends. HERE.
Taste my axe!  – Gamon

The Spoils of War

A lovely benefit of war are the spoils.   Of course, one should be able to defend the plunder they take, lest others come to ‘liberate’ them.

When Garrosh gazed across Pandaria, he saw untapped power. During the course of his campaign, Garrosh has plundered weapons, treasures, and artifacts of the pandaren, the mogu, and the mantid. They are kept in a warehouse deep within his underground base, guarded by a mysterious security system that appears to be of Titan origins.

The Spoils of Pandaria belong to the Grim now.

 

The Most Loyal Traitor Falls

Garrosh commands many loyal soldiers, but none as loyal as Malkorok.  Once Garrosh’s bodyguard, chief advisor, and leader of the Kor’kron, he blindly follows his Warchief.

Malkorok has been Garrosh’s most loyal and trusted lieutenant throughout the Pandaria campaign. When the Warchief needed a volunteer to infuse with the power of Y’Shaarj, it was only natural that Malkorok would offer without hesitation.

No matter the power Garrosh’s Horde draw from the corruption, they are no match for The Grim.
