Dron Irongaze

Dron Irongaze is the current orcish leader in the Grutharin Dominion. After the eruption of the Firemaw, Dron led the Dominion's assaults on reclaiming the southern half of the continent, and coordinates their efforts from a new fortress being built into the side of the massive volcano.

History
Though he began life as a simple blacksmith, crafting weapons for the Dominion's soldiers and living a quiet life in the northernmost regions of the Gruthar, Dron was soon drawn to battle as he saw his friends and family return home from battling Lokusi with grievous injuries... or not at all. Wracked with guilt, feeling his weapons and armor had failed those he had created them for, he set out to the front and quickly developed a reputation for his fearlessness.

Before long, Dron was well known as a cunning tactical mind amidst the Dominion's soldiers, and steadily rose to prominence in the Dominion military.

Personality
Dron is quiet, patient, and thoughtful, but while he is relatively subdued in disposition for an orc, Dron is fervently dedicated to the Dominion and its people.

Skills and Abilities
Dron familiarized himself with a wide range of weapons from a young age, though as he developed his skills in the Dominion military he favored heavy axes and maces for hacking apart lokusi limbs or crushing thick lokusi shells. He also honed his skills in harsh training with other soldiers within the Dominion, with only the ogre Algok Molhun surpassing him.

Dron has continued to hone his blacksmithing skill over the years, and has also learned to imbue his weapons and armor with magic to enhance their destructive power.

While comfortable using a wide variety of weapons, Dron prefers to wade into battle directly, clad in heavy armor, while using magic, technological devices, and alchemic potions to supplement his inspiring skill in melee combat.
