Biography[]
Commander Vorka is first seen in Prophet Velen's vision of the attack on Karabor, which he shares with adventurers using the 
[Clarity Elixir]. In this premonition, the commander enters the fray aback an armored rylak after his lieutenant Krull is defeated, and calls in an artillery strike that destroys the defense crystal holding the Iron Horde back. Velen struggles to hold them off, but using the power of the Dark Star, Vorka eliminates the defenders in mere seconds.[1]
Encountered in person for the first time at Shaz'gul, Vorka and his other lieutenant, Arnokk the Burner, are in discussion with the Shadowmoon over their contributions to the Iron Horde. While there, he discovers and kills a handful Rangari spies, before chiding Ner'zhul for the village’s poor security. Despite Ner'zhul's assurances that there is nothing to worry about, and that he will soon harness the power of the Dark Star, Vorka is dismissive and soon leaves.[2]
In Rulkan's vision, Vorka is present when Warchief Hellscream demands that Ner'zhul make a worthy offering to the Iron Horde.[3]
During the attack on Karabor, Vorka resides at the docks with the brunt of the army. After they defeat Arnokk and his men, he confronts the defenders of the temple personally with a shoulder-mounted cannon, his troops, and the aid of his artillery. In spite of his impressive firepower, however, he is killed in the melee.[4]
