Whompt - Ganondorf - 08-27-2013
Location/Role: Whompt is a wandering mercenary, so he travels from verse to verse. As he is not a prominent individual, it is harder to track him down than more high-profile primes. On top of the wandering, Whompt is a soldier-of-fortune. He will sell his 'axe services' to the highest bidder. Just make sure you are able to pay him, or he may have to smash your skull.
Appearance: Whompt looks like your traditional orc. He is over six feet tall with dull green skin and tusks. He wears raggedy leather armor and wields a massive axe that seems too large even for him to swing around.
Story: Whompt grew up in the typical Orc fashion. Part of a brood of nearly two dozen, his brothers and sisters were culled by the instinctual sibling-fighting that was bred into them. Whompt, the largest of the bunch, was the only survivor. He spent his formative years developing his axe skills before leaving his clan to find greater opponents. Eventually he was left to fend for himself in the desert of the Free Lands. After some time, slavers took Whompt, and he was put into the gladiatorial pits. Eventually, he was freed when anti-slavery laws came into effect in the city. After that, he travelled north and journeyed with some adventures. Whompt saw the small creatures sort of like pets who needed him to take care of them.
After they got trapped in the Plane of Ten Seconds Before and Ten Seconds Later, Whompt fought himself to his apparent death. The party left the plane, but Whompt never really died. After all, his past self was still there. For awhile, the scene of him fighting himself replayed itself, but eventually Omni, amused or feeling pity, brought Whompt to the Omniverse.
Whompt arrived at the Fountain of Infinity and immediately set off to find things to hit. While he met other orcs, Whompt never stayed with them. Since his arrival he has been wandering the Verses in search of work. From the axe on his shoulder, his career path is immediately obvious to anyone who sees him and he'll always take on a fight, for a price. He may even work for free, if the target is especially challenging, as he's always looking to test his mettle against powerful foes.
Whompt never stays in the same Verse for long, so a long-term hire of the mercenary is impossible. On the flip side, he is one of a handful of primes to have explored all the verses to at least some extent. While he may not be a scholar, Whompt’s travels have made him knowledgeable on many of the verses. Still, it is unknown what the orcs endgame could be.
