|}Korgorakk Grimaxe, formerly Koromak Grimhowl was an Orc Warrior, turned Death Knight. Originally hailing from the Grimhowl Clan, he now however has joined the [[Blackrock Clan]] and now serves them. Despite his ties with the [[Blackrock Clan| Blackrock]] he still serves the [[Horde]] though with some disdain for many of its races. He holds hatred for the races of the Horde, even the vast majority of the [[orc]]s holding the belief that all other races are weak and have also weakened the horde as a result of their presence. His hatred of orcs only extends to those who are 'unpure', or orcs that do not think the same as the Blackrock do, or the way [[Garrosh]] does.

Korgorakk Grimaxe, formerly Koromak Grimhowl was a member of the Grimhowl Clan, once made up of [[shaman]]s and [[warrior]]s it fell prey quickly to demonic corruption. After which the clan's shaman became warlocks and the warriors remained. As many of his relatives were slaughtered in the first and second war, he is unsure of any living relatives and assumes he has none, despite his brother Kolgrok having survived. He does not have much love for many races of the horde, even orcs... and no love for the [[Alliance]]. Through dark rituals he has now become a Death Knight, and serves the Shadow Council's will.

Months later when the [[First War]] would lead to the orc's victory Kargrok returned to their home in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]]. It was then that Koromak would begin his training as a [[warrior]] at a young age. His father was very tough on him during his training, often tossing insults to Koromak about how his strikes were hollow, or not strong enough. For days and nights on end Koromak would train, getting stronger, all to gain his father's approval. Eventually he did when he struck his father's chest with his axe, barely missing and leaving a shallow cut. That day, was the first time his father had smiled since the beginning of the war.

A few years later they found themselves set upon by small Alliance group. Many of the Grimhowl Clan had already been slaughtered. His father stood valiantly against the alliance invaders while Koromak's mother used her time to create a [[soulstone]] to save her son from death. Koromak witnessed his father and mother's death. Yet he survived, thanks to his mother's wit.

==== Garrosh & The Return of the Blackrock ====
 
−
Many years later, Koromak had joined the new shamanistic horde. Unlike many of his brothers he still clung to the old ways, but served under the warcheif at the time [[Thrall]]. He disliked how Thrall sought peace with the humans, and his views of his warcheif degraded. Thrall was a warcheif raised by humans, not by orcs... he was not suited to lead the [[Horde]]. Koromak left Thrall and joined Grom Hellscream's group of warriors, seeing the [[Blademaster]] as a stronger leader, and as a stronger Orc. For Koromak, not only was this the wiser choice, but the more powerful choice; Grom's scouts found a scource of [[Felblood | demonic blood]] within [[Ashenvale]], and when Koromak made it to the well he drank freely, feeling the blessed [[fel]] energies course through his veins once more. He tore apart many of the [[Night Elves]] in their quest... eventually meeting up with Thrall once again who was disgusted by their [[Fel Orc | Pure]] forms. Many [[Orcs]] might consider Koromak to be luck, as he lost his demonic form after [[Grom]] killed [[Mannoroth]]. Koromak did not think so.

Koromak was present in Hyjal's last defense, and witnessed the death of [[Archimonde]]. However after the great city of [[Orgrimmar]] was constructed, Koromak refused to aid the horde in battle and lived in [[Durotar]] while many journeyed to [[Outland]]. Many years would pass, and after the war against the [[Burning Legion]] ended Thrall brought a very interesting character back with him.

[[Garrosh Hellscream]] the son of [[Grom]]. The man that would become Warcheif of the Horde, the man that gave Koromak reason to fight for the horde again, the man that gave Koromak hope that the Old ways would return. Koromak immediately signed himself up to join the Horde War effort against the [[Lich King]], but mostly to be given a chance to serve under Garrosh.

Several years later Koromak returned to his training in Durotar. In preparation to properly serve his warcheif. During his training he came across a Blackrock Orc by the name of Ripgut, who told him of the power of the Blackrock Clan and how they were reforming within the horde. He immediately renounced his loyalties to his fallen Grimhowl clan and swore allegiance to the Blackrock Clan. He quickly grew close to the leader of the clan, taking every opportunity he was given to serve his clan and warchief.

Their clan lived by the word of Garrosh Hellscream. The [[Orc]] race was superior and stronger than others, the [[Tauren]] were too peaceful, the [[Trolls]] would only serve Thrall, The [[Goblins]] were best put to use as sappers, The [[Forsaken]] had betrayed the Horde, and the [[Blood Elves]] were frail and weak. Within their clan there was little or no love at all for other races, those who opposed Garrosh's will or served Thrall were promptly exiled from the clan... or killed.

When Ripgut's plan to ressurect the [[Shadow Council]] was revealed to the clan by his [[warlock]] clansman Guldann, it was also revealed that three artifacts would be needed to do so; The [[Demon Seed]], The [[Eye of Sargeras]] and lastly [[The Skull of Gul'dan]] which was a major artifact that would allow them to create their own [[Death Knights]], however a patriarch of their new order of Death Knights would be needed. It was then that this warlock turned to Koromak, and offered him the Darkest Power, to undergo a death ritual at the [[Altar of Storms]] near [[Blackrock Mountain]].
 
−
===== The Forbidden Ritual =====
 
−
One night when the moon was full, Koromak and his Blackrock Clan brothers gathered at the foot of [[Blackrock Mountain]] at the [[Altar of Storms]]. The clan hunter, Haqim secured the area, slaying the unworthy and failed Blackrock clan that was lead by Rend Blackhand. Koromak walked up the altar where he saw an Orc that stood nearly twice his height, fel energy cascading off of his limbs. This was Guldann, The head of the Shadow Council, and Advisor to Ripgut, this was his reanimator.[[File:Sacrafice_8.jpg|thumb|right|Koromak's dead corpse]]
 
−
[[File:Korgorakk.jpg|thumb|left|The reanimated Koromake Grimhowl, Now Korgorakk Grimaxe.]]
 
−
Koromak began walking towards the altar with the Warlock, but was stopped by his clansmate Kromgarsh, who directly opposed the ritual. Koromak told him that being the first was an honor no other would have. Koromak walked into the center of the Altar and lied down in complete submission to his new master and creator. On his back Koromak lied. Fading from his memory and warmth, Koromak stayed in submission giving the only soul he had to give. Gul'dann pierced a dagger through his hand and placed a soul shard into his right palm. Completing the binding Gul'dann stabbed Koromak through the chest and continued to cut out his heart. After he pulled the still beating heart from Koromak's Chest Gul'dann took a biute out of his heart and dipped his finger in the heart like a fountain for ink. Chewing his heart and drawing a pentegram on the soldiers chest Gul'dann swallowed the last bit of his heart and summoned forth the great Demonlord Kath'Jaeden to ressurect the spirit from the Nether. No longer called Koromak Grimhowl, but called by his new name, Korgorakk Grimaxe.
 
−  
−
With this act he became Gul'Danns bodyguard, bound to serve his command only. He followed his creator's path and chose to improve his unholy powers to better serve his master. When his brother Kolgrok caught word of the ritual's completion, he left his brother and lept from a cliff in Felwood.

==== Servant of the Shadow Council ====
 
−
Korgorakk took on the role of leadership over the clan's Death Knights willingly. He was their patriarch and commander. However his reanimator knew Korgorakk's potential. Currently he is being desensitized to combat, and all other possible emotional attachments he may feel, turning him into the perfect killing machine.

=== Personality ===
 
−
Koromak almost always seems filled with anger and hatred, this is only because he trusts none other than the members of his clan. Since being reanimated by the Shadow Council he lacks a great amount of respect for all races except for his own. He views many as weaklings who cannot truly grasp the nature of the dark power he was given and the power that the demons could once again give to the Horde. Korgorakk has become much less forgiving, and sadistic, when he is finished with an enemy he revels in raising them from the dead to serve as a [[Ghoul]], his battle style is relentless. He feels no emotion, no love, no warmth, only the cold, only the power within him, only the Council's Will.
