"Bloodjaws! [...] You are here for the most important mission in your life and perhaps in the history of our people. This war has gone on too long [...] but Mother Earth has not abandoned us [...] It's time to put an end to the genocide [...] to this campaign of hate [...] My brothers, we must strike our enemy's head. Today we will be setting of to kill the emperor."


Djarhail is the chief of the Bloodjaws, a special warrior unit of orcs dedicated to protect all clans from attack by the humans. He has agreed to help the Resistance and Barimen's plan and gives instructions to all his Bloodjaw members before sending them on their way.

Personality

Djarhail expresses himself clearly and precisely and despite being the one making the decision and giving orders, he demonstrates respect for the orcs under him. He must have been somewhat impersonal, however, as Arkail is surprised at his sudden, more personal approach when giving the mission details, as for the first time Djarhail calls Arkail by his name, rather than 'Butcher'.

Biography

Background

How Djarhail become Chief of the Bloodjaws is not known, but when the High Lands Clan under Drakane was under siege by humans, Djarhail was reluctant to send help due to the uncertainty of success.

Sending Arkail to Arken

Arkail reports to Djarail about the area when at the Bloodjaw outpost. Djarhail reminds everyone how hard it is to trust any human, even if they have sworn themselves to be allies and he sends Arkail to speak to Arken while taking an hour of rest.

Instructing Arkail

When the human messenger arrives, Djarhail calls all Bloodjaws together and then gives a private briefing to each of them. He explains in detail to Arkail what his mission is and sends him on his way.

Instructing Arken and the other Orc

Djarhail gives Arken the same mission, with Brune as his guide.

He probably gives the last, unnamed orc present in the outpost the same mission with yet again another guide but this fellows journey isn't mentioned again.
