Korga Strongmane is a male Tauren who was one of a group of Horde escapees that survived the wreck of the Alliance ship, the Skyfire, and escaped from their captors. He and his fellow Horde pushed into Pei-Wu Forest of the Wandering Isle, meeting and accepting the aid of the hermit, Wei Palerage, at the Forlorn Hut. Korga is the first tauren pandaren characters meet.
