Many people misspell Mankrik to Mankirk. It is possible that Mankrik is a former member of the Burning Blade Clan and a blademaster, as he shows signs of obsession (asking you to kill dozens of thorntusks) and also displays a Burning Blade banner outside his hut. This seems to be confirmed with his new guise in Cataclysm. He starts the following quests: * File:Horde 15.png [20] Consumed by Hatred * File:Horde 15.png [20] Lost in Battle (also known as "Mankrik's Wife") See List of the Barrens NPCs.
