The mul once fought in the arena of Tyr, back before
the sorcerer-king was killed and the city fell into chaos.
He found freedom as many slaves do – strictly by luck
and accident. His early days of freedom taught him that
gladiatorial skills and strength of arms would get him only
so far in the harsh wilderness of Athas. When the mul
finally joined up with a tribe of ex-slaves, he sought out
anyone with knowledge of survival and wilderness skills.
His obsession with learning these skills turned Porgo into
not only a better warrior, but a true scout.
The mul operates as commander of the scouting patrols.
His scouts seek out targets to raid and then lead the
tribe straight to them. Porgo's combat experience also
enables him to size up each opponent, spot strengths and
weaknesses, and determine the best method of attack. In
many cases, Sortar turns command of the warriors over to
Porgo so that he may best implement his tactics.
One thing Porgo learned as a gladiator was how to kill.
He even developed a taste for shedding blood that he
now satisfies by killing templars, nobles, and heir agents.
He does not get along with Derrim, for the half-elf ranger
tries to curb the mul's desire to kill and destroy. Porgo
feels the half-elf doesn't understand that the only way to
win Sortar's war is to kill the owners before they can kill
you.
Porgo was a member of the tribe that eventually
became Sortar's Army. He was present when Sortar joined
the tribe, and he witnessed the ridiculously short battle
in which Sortar took over leadership. He decided that
any human who could fight that well deserved a chance
to be leader, and he has served as one of Sortar's chief
lieutenants and advisors ever since.
