Krog Gugbar is a very large, strong Gamorrean from the planet Gamorr. A porcine humanoid, he has green skin and large tusks that protrude from his thick snout. Gamorreans are unable to speak galactic basic, however, Krog has had an electronic translator implanted in his throat that enables his grunts and squeals to be translated into basic words. His arms, legs, shoulders, and back are all very large and muscular, even for his species. He has many visible scars, and more than likely he as more that lie under his body armor. It is quite clear by looking at him that he is accustomed to battle, a conclusion made certain by the vibroaxe and sabers he carries with him. Though he appears to be a brute on the outside, he prefers to help and also holds himself to a personal code of honor.
Krog Gugbar was born in the jungles of Gamorr. As a young adult he stayed near his clan's village and trained by fighting the other young males there. He practiced with clubs and fists, typically winning most of the fights. The summer, or Wartime as it is called on Gamorr, found clans warring each other for land and the like. During a raid from a rival clan Krog made his first kill. Though it was against a slave of that clan, and a much larger and older opponent, he was skillful and quickly dispatched him. However, he was captured by the enemy before they could be overwhelmed and driven off. For a while after his capture he was made to fight the youths of the clan, intending him to be used as an expendable training tool. However, he proved too much for the other youths his age, slaying them and growing stronger all the time. Not wanting to be bested the older boars of the clan intended to him, but visiting offworlders, seeing Krogs strength and potential offered to purchase him as a slave. The clan agreed and Krog was whisked away for an uncertain future.
Krog was brought to an unknown world where he quickly discovered his fate. Ushered into holding cells beneath a giant arena he would be made to fight in gladiatorial matches for the amusement of the underworld. During his time there he met another gladiator who Krog came to think of as his mentor. Krog learned advanced weapon techniques that allowed him to survive the intense competitions, and become quite good. The most important thing Krog learned from his mentor though, was the need for a personal code of honor. Krog had never before learned anything like it and he tried for the most part to hold to it. One day Krog was talking with his mentor in the holding cells when pirates attacked. They freed all the slaves and gave them the opportunity to join them, which Krog agreed to, while his mentor returned home. The pirates, hearing of Krogs reputation from the other gladiators, decided to recruit him directly as a bodyguard. Krog saw this as the best opportunity to display his skills and get stronger, so he accepted the offer.
Krog steadily climbed the ranks, becoming a most fearsome and violent pirate. He participated in many raids and battles. Often Krog would assist in carrying away slaves and captives, much like what happened to him in the past, and keep in a prison located on an asteroid. This didn't really bother him though, he considered life to be a fight and as long as he was alive to fight he was happy. Krog was appointed the new prison warden of the facility after the untimely death of the former one. He enjoyed the new position, though he didn't get to fight as much. Instead he found a new pleasure in the extreme torture of prisoners. Under his oversight the prison was transformed into one of the most secure, hopeless and terrible places you could imagine. In fact, it gained such a widespread reputation that the mere mention of it would silence all conversation. Krog, continues to oversee the prison, among other activities. One of which is to craft new weapons, like his battleaxe and sabers, which he immensely enjoys using when he has the opportunity.
