Griselda was a wretched Orc mistress and daughter of Blackhand the Destroyer. She watched as during the First War, the Ogre Lord Turok tried to ally with the Horde. Blackhand refused Turok's offer, but Griselda thought better of her father's decision.

She fled with Turok into the Deadmines to plot with her new ally, disobeying her father's commands and thus committing treason against the Horde. For this, one of Blackhand's forces was mercilessly sent into the Deadmines in search of Griselda.

The rogue Ogres of Turok were a tough match for the fearsome Orc warriors, but eventually the war party reached the ruined guardhouse of Griselda and Turok with their personal Ogre guard. In that final conflict, Turok was cut down and Griselda followed in her attempt to flee.

Thus the Deadmines were cleansed of their Ogre threat, that had even brought about the capture of Anduin Lothar at an earlier date. Blackhand had ordered the death of his daughter, and his wish had become reality.

Being the only Orcish individual known for having mated an Ogre, some people speculate that she and Turok are the Mok'Nathal Rexxar's parents. This would mean Rexxar's Blackhand's grandson, and further complicated and headache-giving lineage. This is still a rumor but appears to be the only solution as for now. Perhaps the new expansion, mostly taking place in Outland, Ogres' and Orcs' homeworld will be a possibility for Blizzard to unveil Rexxar's lineage, and maybe also the whole half-orcish races'.
