Chief Burguk

Template:SkyrimNPCs Chief Burguk is an Orsimer and the chief of Dushnikh Yal, an Orc Stronghold located south-east of Markarth, and brother to Ghorbash the Iron Hand, a potential follower.

Background

Burguk became the leader his tribe after killing his father in one-on-one combat, who had become too old and weak to rule. Burguk states that one day his own son will challenge and defeat him when the time comes. This custom ensures that the orcs' leaders are always strong and worthy.

As Chief, Burguk is the only Orc in Dushnikh Yal and the nearby mine who may have wives and father children. He is the most respected member of the Orc community.

He has three children in total, one with each of his wives. Umurn, the blacksmith's apprentice; Nagrub, Umum's brother; and Lash, Burguk's only daughter.

His three wives are Shel (his favorite), Arob the Hunts-wife, and Gharol the Forge-wife.

Interactions

If the Dragonborn isn't an Orsimer, retrieving The Forgemaster's Fingers for the stronghold will prompt Chief Burguk to name him or her blood-kin of the Orcs and offer Master-level training in One-Handed weapons.

If the Dragonborn asks Burguk for work, he will challenge them to a brawl with a bet of 100 Gold. Whoever wins will receive 200 gold.

He will send Thugs if the Dragonborn kills Lurbuk before the Dark Brotherhood contract, Kill Lurbuk.
