Physical Characteristics
Drang is for even his sizeable race, rather large. He stands approximately 7'5" and weighs roughly 600 pounds, making him one of the larger subjects we've studied. Drang does not know his exact age, but tooth analysis puts him between 45-50 years of age. The coarse brown fur that covers his frame is a dark brown with ever increasing amounts of grey and white, being thickest at the back of the head, forearms, chest and thighs. Rarely is he seen without his armor though, sporting overlapping plate armor which is heavily pitted and scratched over nearly ever inch of it. Most notably is the plate mail kilt around his waist, making a purposeful amount of noise as he moves even the slightest.
Lifestyle and personality
As far as Bugbears go, Drang is an anomaly. By nature, Bugbears are a sneaky murderous lot, preferring ambush tactics on unsuspecting civilians or prey out in the wilds. Drang is by definition antithetic to this life style, wearing loud clattering plate mail, wielding a greatsword nearly as big as himself, and always talking in a loud, booming voice. On top of this, he's incredibly friendly and good natured, only turning to mercenary "wet work" when one of his failing enterprises goes bankrupt. He is an extremely proficient fighter, wielding his great sword easily and with deadly force, but before any would fall too it he gives diplomacy a chance whether it be a shambling mound of corpses or wayward bandits. Drang is driven to the point of obsession with becoming an upstanding, honorable member of this society to further spit in the face of his heritage. If asked, he will claim that he was orphaned as a baby and was raised by humans, this however is false. Attached you will find a classified report that tells a vastly different tale.
Date- [redacted]
1st Scout Tuuliel Witherleaf, Goblinkin populations expert
"I came upon the most peculiar site today while scouting the [redacted] mountain range. A great plume of smoke was rising from the [redacted]-family warren, a known and well documented family of bugbears, orcs, and goblins. What i found at the base of that cloud is utter devastation, the entire family destroyed and smoldering in a great pyre, but there was no contingent of exterminators sanctioned for this. I must investigate further"
"Having spent the day studying tracks and the state of the warren, i am only left with further questions. it appears that the inhabitants captured a wagon of civilians yesterday, something that is regrettable but is a known risk of traveling the [redacted] trail. The most curious thing, is that the civilians have been buried, 7 adults and 1 child sized cairn of rocks with rudimentary head stones reading 'I'm sorry' and 'please forgive me' in poorly written common. In the center of the graves is a massive, shattered great sword covered in blood. The wounds on the members of the warren match that of the great sword. 12 Bugbears, 15 orcs, 56 goblin (slaves?) and one hill giant so far as i have counted. I have found the trail of what appears to be a severely wounded bugbear leading east toward [redacted]. I intend to track this individual down for further answers"

"In all my years of research and study I have never come across anything like this. I tracked the individual for 4 days east across the [redacted] range, and finally caught up to him in a small cave near the [redacted] valley. I approached cautiously with weapons raised, ready to strike the creature down, but instead found this Bugbear, Eigan Drang by name i came to know, curled next to a small fire sobbing and holding a tiny necklace. He had.....killed his entire family, something i had never know Bugbear kind to do. His common was broken and poor, but the story he told was chilling. I know what goblinkin are prone to doing with goodly folk whom they have captured and this was no exception. In a moment of clarity, i believe fueled by the gods themselves, Drang took the Giants sword and attempted to save the young girl from her fate at the hands of his siblings. Ultimately, he failed, as she passed from her wounds later that night despite Drangs best efforts."
"I am compelled beyond words, and as first Scout and lead expert under [redacted] i am hereby taking Eigan Drang under my personal care, even if it means my early retirement. This is a once in a lifetime chance to prove to the [redacted] that goblinkin CAN change and should be included under the upcoming [redacted] civilian act.'
