User:Dekermen/Kaz'Zugas Windfang

Kaz'Zugas Windfang is an orcish general and a former advisor of the Horde's former leader Thrall. He wields the legendary shamanistic weapon Windfang, a relic belonging to his clan.

Rise of the Horde
Kaz'Zugas Windfang was a member of the legendary Bleeding Hollow clan and the son of Kazok Windfang. When Gul'dan promised the orc chieftains unlimited strength and power, Kaz'Zugas was one of the first to accept the offer alongside Grom Hellscream and Kilrogg Deadeye, drinking the blood of Mannoroth and becoming filled with strength and demonic rage.

First War
At the start of the First War, the Bleeding Hollow clan participated in the first attack on Stormwind Keep, along with the Twilight's Hammer clan, led by Cho'gall. This first attack was an unmitigated disaster for the orcs, and Deadeye and Cho'gall blamed the failure on each other. A rift soon grew that threatened to rip the Horde apart before it had even begun its conquest of Azeroth. Gul'dan quickly stepped in to quell the problem, reinstalling Blackhand as Warchief of the Horde.

Second War
Kaz'Zugas fought under Blackhand, and then later under Orgrim Doomhammer. During the Second War, he was stationed throughout Khaz Modan alongside his clan, where it controlled the Horde's vital mining and oil refining operations. When Orgrim Doomhammer was forced to withdraw back into Khaz Modan, after sending a large part of the Horde away to kill the treacherous Gul'dan and regain the lost honor of the orcs, he was one of the few that agreed with his decision.At the end of the war with the destruction of the Dark Portal and the defeat of the orcs; Kaz'Zugas refused to surrender, even after Doomhammer was captured. Windfang escaped and managed to avoid capture by the Alliance forces.

Invasion of Draenor
Kilrogg and Kaz'Zugas managed to evade the Alliance for two years. He, like most of the remaining orc leaders, was summoned to the site of the Dark Portal to discover that Teron Gorefiend had reopened the portal and that the Horde had united under Ner'zhul's leadership. Kaz'Zugas's knowledge of affairs in Azeroth enabled Ner'zhul and Gorefiend to successfully plan their next move. After recounting the events of the Second War to the old shaman, Kaz'Zugas, along with his old comrades Kilrogg Deadeye, Grom Hellscream and Kargath Bladefist, led the charge back into Azeroth to steal items of power needed to aid Ner'zhul in his scheme. On the way from Hellfire Citadel to the Black Temple to begin the ritual, Ner'zhul — accompanied by Kaz'Zugas, Kilrogg and Teron Gorefiend — made a stop in the ruined draenei necropolis of Auchindoun, a prospect that frightened the usually-fearless warrior, believing that it would doom them if they went there. However, he eventually gave in, accepting that it was necessary to rest there for a time on their way to Shadowmoon Valley. It was there, in the depths of the Shadow Labyrinth — slowing the Alliance forces enough for Ner'zhul to make his escape — that Kilrogg met his end. In a duel with Alliance force commander Danath Trollbane, the human threw his blade at Kilrogg's throat, taking advantage of the chieftain's half-blindedness. Kilrogg's throat was slashed open, but he managed to declare that by his blood the Horde would live and that he was returning to his ancestors. His eyes glazed over, and he toppled sideways landing heavily on the floor. Kaz'Zugas took the leadership of the clan. When Ner'zhul used the items to open more portals, Grom Hellscream and Kaz'Zugas Windfang realized Ner'zhul's mad plans would doom their entire race. They abandoned Ner'zhul and rallied as many orcs as they could find, driving them through the Dark Portal to the questionable safety of Azeroth just before Draenor was destroyed. Their clans passed through just before Archmage Khadgar closed it completely. Hellscream and Windfang hacked their way through the human ranks in a desperate bid for freedom, the Dark Portal exploding behind them. For them, and the remaining orcs on Azeroth, there would be no going back. Though Grom Hellscream and his Warsong clan managed to evade capture, Windfang and his Bleeding Hollow clan were rounded up and placed in the internment camps in Lordaeron.
