Description

Kurgam, the Exiled Stalker

Lore:
Of all the members of the Mottled Claw clan of Gnolls, Kurgam was assuredly the weakest. While his clanmates relied on brute strength and sheer numbers to overwhelm enemies, Kurgam spent his time stalking his foes and killing them when they least expected it. When he came of age, Kurgam was certain that he could outwit the chieftain, and challenged him for the right of leadership. However, he severely underestimated the power he faced, and was badly beaten. The chieftain took Kurgam's right eye and cast him out of the clan, never to return. Kurgam staggered through the forests of southern Aldenia until he approached the Grave Marsh, a fetid swamp. It was there that he first heard the echoes of a voice in his head, urging him to give in and be blessed with fantastic power. Desperate for revenge, Kurgam allowed the dormant being M'Nagalah to corrupt him, also filling him with a power from beyond. Kurgam returned to the Mottled Claw clan with this new power, and in a matter of minutes had brutally slaughtered the entire clan. His bloodlust sated, Kurgam's mind faded, and now M'Nagalah uses him as a vessel to bring about its return from beneath the swamp.
