Life and career
Born as nobody, Torkash grew up to an important warlord and quickly strenghtened his influence. With the foundation of the first real dragon army, which used dragons to fight instead of just using them as symbol, his power was unbreakable by other warlords of the north. Together with Merlin's help and wisdom, he was able to unite the free villages in the northlands and started a new culture. His ambitions were bigger. Next, the green, fruitful middle fields should been conquered and the empire extended. This plan failed and after climate changes and the dying of the big green dragons, his power weakened. Other rescources say, that not Torkash, but Merlin itself controlled the kingdom in real.
Character and Family
Torkash never met many people. His heart was cold and his muscles strong. An immense willpower made him success but also some wisdom helped him in life. About his family, not much is known, probably they were warriors or farmers. Early he made some kind of friendship with Merlin who he later made his highest advisor and second most powerful guy in the northlands. Torkash never married. Instead he took many whores as his wifes for some hours or nights. Officially, he only had 3 sons, Atork, Mulrich and Fenrich, who he let live on his fortress and paid their education and life. Torkash never cared for them privately, so he never decided who would be his political legacy.
