Orgrim Doomhammer is a fictional character in the world of Azeroth in Warcraft, a game series by Blizzard Entertainment.

Biography

Orgrim Doomhammer was the former Warchief of the Horde after Blackhand was overthrown. He was the one responsible for seizing power from Blackhand and slaughtering the Shadow Council. This came about after Gul'dan fell into a coma after Medivh was killed, and so Gul'dan was incapable of providing advice to Blackhand. Doomhammer became War Chief, and tortured Garona to provide him with the location of the Shadow Council. He forced Gul'dan to serve him in exchange for his life. Gul'dan also offered Doomhammer the use of mighty undead Knights, later known as Death Knights, who would serve him exclusively. Of course Gul'dan also desired the control of his own clan in exchange for this favour, and so Doomhammer reluctantly agreed . Doomhammer was also a friend of Durotan, the father of Thrall. Late during the Second War, Doomhammer grew tired of the neverending battle and sought to parley with Lord Anduin Lothar to end the war; however his party was surprised by a band of orcs loyal to Blackhand and was therefore forced to slaughter Lord Lothar and his party to avoid being killed. Late in his life, he served as advisor to the young shaman, Thrall in his battle to re-unite the Horde. He fell in combat against the humans during the attacks on the Orc Internment camps, and Thrall succeeded him.

The orc capital city, Orgrimmar, is named in his honor.
