Mal

Mal, also known as Gruumsh, is the first orc and is often worshiped by orcs.

During the Second Holy War Mal was a human warrior known for his strength and rage. He single-handedly fought through an army of angels lead by Xox and upon reaching Xox challenged them to a duel. Xox was impressed by this and transformed Mal into an orc.

Many orcs take the surname "gro-Mal" meaning descendant of Mal.
