A tyrannical ogre, Kor'gall came into possession of the ancient orcish axe Serathil and used its magical powers to rise quickly through the ranks of the Stonemaul Clan in Kalimdor — who had sailed west since the Second War and established a village in Dustwallow Marsh. Kor'gall was a formidable warrior in his own right, and Kash'drakor's legendary weapon augmented his powers. Kor'gall's ride to power stemmed from nothing more than a desire to overpower his kin and his rule was brutal and merciless, and one ogre, whose brothers were killed by Kor'gall, knew that he was leading the clan to ruin.
