Aggro

To look at this fellow, you’d probably imagine him to be a real thug with a foul temper, lax personal hygiene and a penchant for punching people through walls. Then, taking into account that he’s an orc of the Firste Worlde, you might think that this first impression would prove to be comprehensively false. You would, however, be wrong. With Aggro Hogg the first impression is unnerringly accurate, except it neglects to mention that he’s also a shameless bully, and one half of perhaps the most notorious tag-team in OWCH history.

For some five years or more, Aggro and his brother Greef terrorised the wrestling circuit. Prior to their career in the ring, they were respectively the leader and second-in-command of the grottiest biker gang on the face of the Firste Worlde; they decided to join the OWCH league because, with unusual presence of mind, they realised they could actually get paid for beating people up and committing wanton acts of vandalism. Known as The Road Hogz, their rise to the top was swift and, for their opponents, remarkably painful. For a long time, it looked as though no-one was ever going to end their reign as tag-team champions – but then, they ran into two up-and-coming contenders by the name of The Beer Monsters...

Aggro and Greef retired from the wrestling world shortly after that match, and went off quietly to run the family farm. They acquired some measure of fame in this capacity when they invented a popular recipe for baked sprouts in a virulent orange sauce, and became veritable pillars of society, albeit with a few dents here and there and a morbid fear of ale barrels. Little is known of their early history; rumour has it that their years of ill-tempered violence stemmed from a childhood of relentless teasing about their strangely pig-like features, but the only person who ever broached the subject ended up with his left leg wrapped round his neck. The fight with The Beer Monsters did, however, reveal that there isn’t actually anything wrong with Aggro’s left eye. He just wears the patch to look tough.

Story-wise, of course, the reason for the Road Hogz’ creation was perfectly simple; if I was going to get any mileage out Ogrokh and Mozgrog being wrestlers, they were going to need some decent competition. I reckon a pair of gargantuan hairy-arsed biker orcs fit the bill quite well.
