Gorvar was born in the northern part of Stranglethorn Vale shortly after the Second War. His father and mother were part of the Bleeding Hollow Clan and Champions for one of Kilrog Deadeye’s many grandsons who each led portions of the clan. After the route from Khaz Modan, the Chieftain of the splinter cell of the Bleeding Hollow led his people to Stranglethorn which was more reminiscent of the Tanaan Jungle back on Draenor before it changed to the Hellfire Peninsula. Cutting themselves off from the rest of the Horde, the small Bleeding Hollow clan thrived in the jungles and took out their aggression on the local wildlife or troll tribes.
