Urok Scratcher was an apprentice shaman and chief advisor to the ruthless commander of the Blackrock Clan, Orgrim Doomhammer. He was the author of The Dominion of Lordaeron, which recorded the Horde's actions during the Second War. He was called scratcher because of his habit of scribbling rather than mindlessly killing, he would soon be the one who laughed. For too long his people had ignored their need to record their methods. He was confident that his chronciles would benifit only those who recognized this need, but mostly because there were very few of his kind who could read.

As a follower of the mystic arts, he was intensely aware that the devouring of a world was of the highest possible honor in the eyes of their dark Gods. The Great Portal had allowed them the opportunity to do just that, and it was Urok's intent to arm every orc, troll, ogre, troll and goblin allies of their clan with knowledge in addition to power; bloodlust was their nature, but passion for destruction required direction. Knowing this he compiled maps from scouting reports, accompanied by descriptions of our orders and military tactics for clarification. The pages were to be the weapon with which his clan accended above all others, to claim the honor of annihilating the new world and its inhabitants.Template:Cite

Biography

He recorded the battles from Zul'dare up to the attack on capital of Lordaeron. His last recorded words discussed attacks on the capital to get to its center, and the destruction of the towers guarding the walled section of the city and the keep. He stated all that was left was to start on the interior. He believed the battle was all too easy and it was their destiny to devour the world. His report cuts off without discussing the final outcome of the battle in detail.Template:Cite
