Old Orc

 is a character who appears as a Random Encounter in.

Interactions
While travelling, the Dragonborn may come across an Orc who stands near the corpses of two sabre cats. When spoken to, he tells the Dragonborn he is waiting for a "good death."

He elaborates by saying that he has become too old to be a chief, too old to marry, and wants to die while he can still call himself a proper man, and that he wants to die in battle to please his god, the Daedric prince Malacath.

The Dragonborn can then decide to leave him alone or help him. Agreeing to help will cause him to become hostile.
