Description: To a human the term ogre is often one associated with grotesque appearance and unpleasant behavior, but in Orkish society it is the pinnacle of honor and distinction. Blagane became an ogre in his late 40’s, a few months after the passing of his community’s oldest ogres. His metamorphosis began with a ravenous appetite followed by a rapid increase in bone, muscle, and fat mass within a six month span. Baldness and increased body hair also accompanied these changes. In ages past, ogres were war chiefs and battle priests, implementing their massive size and experience to aid both the physical and spiritual fortitude of their forces. In an era of relative peace the responsibility of an ogre diminishes to mostly ceremonial leadership. Nevertheless, Blagane takes these duties very seriously. In fact, he insisted on being drawn wearing his ceremonial war attire for this portrait. His shiny and unused chainmail stands in stark contrast to the battered and worn ancestral hammer he wields.

As a side note: it was once believed that the transition a male orc to an ogre occurred when he was was entering his fifth decade. Males rarely survived the harsh life of nomadic living and warfare, and ogre numbers seemed to correlate with this. In modern times significantly more males are living into their 50’s and 60’s, yet the proportionate number of ogres remains the same. It’s now been proposed that the metamorphosis is triggered by pheromones and population density rather simply by age alone.
