| - The Shattered Hand clan was named for an act of Sacrifice made by Kargath and his fellow orcs, that lead to a successful rebellion and freedom from slavery under the Ogres. Led by Kargath Bladefist, a former arena champion, the Shattered Hand remained on Draenor while the majority of the orcish clans, led by Blackhand, traveled through the Dark Portal into Azeroth. Upon the return of the Bleeding Hollow clan from Azeroth, Kargath volunteered his clan to make war against the humans. When Draenor was destroyed, a part of his clan was stranded along with the Bleeding Hollow and Warsong clans. The Warcraft II manual mentions that a razor-sharp scythe sat in place of Kargath Bladefist's severed left hand, but whether it was an accident or intentional, it now seems customary for clan members to replace a hand with a blade, as most if not all Shattered Hand mobs in World of Warcraft have this. Kargath Bladefist and Watchkeeper Gargolmar (who may or may not be a member) seem to have both hands replaced, so this may be a sign of high rank. Vindicator Maraad told King Varian, that Kargath intentionally severed his bound left hand with a sharp stone, in a bid for freedom, after his master, an ogre arena boss, refused to honor his promise of freedom in exchange for 100 orc lives in the arena. after severing his hand, Kargath then tossed the stone to the ground in front of his fellow clanless orcs, challenging them to reach for the stone and "Take your Vengence" Those who did the same, followed Kargath and bounded weapons to their sacrificed arm, and fought their oppressors the ogres, the orcs were successful in defeating the Ogres in the Arena, as Kargath held aloft the severed head of their former master, the Orcs chanted Kargath's name, and followed him, becoming the Shattered Hand Clan.
