Torgh is a barbarian in the most literal meaning of the term: barbaric. He seems to almost completely lack basic social graces, and does not look to be familiar with the norms of society. His garb is nothing but a simple covering of furs, and he carries nothing but his massive axe.

Hailing from the nearby Greypeak Mountains, he was raised in the wilderness by his barbaric tribe. From the scars covering his body it is obvious that he has been through some rough scrapes. In place of the common values of law and morality that many have grown up with, Torgh has only known a constant fight for survival. He is not an outwardly hostile person, but from his looks alone it is clear that he is tough, tenacious, and capable of extreme violence.

Not long ago, Torgh has been stricken with an insatiable wanderlust. He has roamed the peaks of the mountains for all of his adult life, and he has seen most of what they have to offer. He has conversed (and fought) with both the giants and the dwarves that inhabit the highest slopes and the lowest caves. He cares little for their ongoing war, or any other political happenings, as long as it does not interfere with his ability to get his next meal. In fact, it would be safe to assume that he does not know what politics are. After having seen enough of the mountains, Torgh decided to descend from them and take his chances at wandering the rest of the world.

There has been no real direction to Torgh's wanderings. When he is tired, he sleeps where he is. When he wakes, he ponders what direction he thinks will take him somewhere interesting and begins to walk. After coming across other travelers and adventurers, he learned about the town of Loudwater and began to head in it's direction, hoping to see new sights and eat new foods. After arriving, he spent much time simply drinking in all the new things his senses had never experienced before, as well as simply drinking. Having only a vague understanding of the concept of currency, he would point at things that he wanted and try to work out what he had to do to get it. Some merchants would give him items out of sheer terror of his physique, while other more devious dealers would take advantage of his obvious lack of understanding of money.

Being such a novelty, Torgh has become somewhat of a celebrity to some of the townsfolk. He has been offered jobs for guarding caravans, among other physical occupations, but he does not have an interest in working. He will eventually move on from Loudwater when he decides he has seen enough of it.
