Mak’gen Steelhunter, Chained Fist Orc Chieftan

Adversaries Designed by Railery

Adversary overview

The brutal and proud chieftan of the Chained Fist Orc Clan.

Mak’gen Steelhunter is the leader of the Chained Fist, an Orc Clan known for their bad tempers, looting, and their eponymous tendency to wrap their fists in chains, or wear chains across their bodies. Mak’gen is a shrewd adversary, with a tactical mind well ahead of his peers, and he will use that mind in combat, but he is still a hot tempered Orc, prone to hubris and pride that may get him in over his head.

Mak’gen will not flee from any battle where his clansmen are still fighting, and will only resort to such tactics if none of his brothers or sisters can see him do so.
