The son of a tribal chief in an Orc band, Brokk M'odag grew up in the Forest of Stone Tooth. Large as a child and powerful, he was given the surname "Bloodpspiller" and considered a powerful Fighter. However, he lost a battle to his father to become the tribe's chief as a teenager, and was stripped of his surname, cast out from his tribe, and given a scar marking him as an exile.
Brokk found work in the trading city of Khazalet as a bodyguard, using skills he learned in the harsh mountain environment to dispatch trouble. Eventually, he made his living as an adventurer, and grew quite a reputation at the Roc's Nest. He became known as a brash leader, and took a dangerous mission searching for a mysterious order in the Sea of Clouds.
There, his party of six adventurers, including Xana Habblegabble Goldworthy, were transported through spectral fog to the valley of Barovia. A skilled but relatively abrasive group, they ended up making enemies of the Burgomaster of Vallaki, Vargas Vallakovich, when ridiculing Vallaki's constant mandatory parades. Brokk and his party were kicked out of the village and banished from the only real town in the valley. Stripped of their armor and weapons, they eventually fell prey to creatures bearing the Mark of Strahd; their gear mostly fell into the hands of the Vallakovich family, though his plate mail was pilfered by Gunther Arasek.
They all ended up as consorts of Strahd von Zarovich, and were turned into Vampire Spawn. Brokk rejoined his group in undeath nearly five years later. The six vampiric servants were given a plan to deconsecrate Saint Andral's Church by removing the namesake paladin's bones from the ground. He hid with his five former party members above the Coffin Maker's Shop, forcing Henrik van der Voort to obtain the bones of Lugdana Andral.
