Gkok "Knock-Knock" Angfee
Gkok is a navigator for pirate vessels across the seas with a good head on his shoulders and a mean look that can curdle milk. He is, however, something of a romantic and enjoys singing sea shanties at all hours of the night.
Appearance
Gkok is everything that everyone thinks about when they think of the word "Orc" in that he's big, he's green, he's big, he looks like he's got enough muscle to rip you in half on a whim and he's big. As well as that he has several scars across his body from various fights and accidents that have occurred during his time working aboard ships. Everything from pirate action against him to engaging in pirate action against others.
He wears some golden jewelry from time to time but has been known to take out his nose ring when expecting a fight. When not wearing a scowl he is usually asleep.

Skills and Abilities
Navigator - Gkok is a skilled and experienced navigator, able to judge distances and predict future conditions by eye at a second's notice. Because of this he is actually fairly skilled at mathematics and some elements of science.
Basher - Gkok got the nickname "Knock-Knock" both from the trouble humans had pronouncing his name and because he has a habit of bashing skulls and caving in chests when in combat. This is both because he is an Orc and because he carries a hammer and an axe into combat.
Singer - Despite all appearances, Gkok fancies himself as something of a singer and often leads the crew in sea shanties. He's actually pretty good at them as well.

Personality
Gkok is neither "surly Orc who smashes all his problems" nor "gentle giant" but somewhere in between. Though he is perpetually frowning or glaring at people, this is his resting expression and he often doesn't actually mean much by it because he often simply doesn't care enough about people to get angry at them. His true passions are exploring more of the sea, singing and beating beings to death that try to interrupt the first two.
Catch him when he's singing and you'll find him happy; even happier should you join in and angry should you interrupt him for anything that isn't urgent. When sat still in one place for too long (figuratively and literally) he will become restless and irritable.

Biography & Lore
Gkok grew up in a nomadic tribe of Orcs and enjoyed that kind of lifestyle, never really settling down anywhere for very long. Eventually this wanderlust meant that even dry land was just too boring and same-y for the Orc and he decided he wanted to try his hand at sea instead. It was a hard road, being accepted as a crew-member worth something more than just rowing or other heavy-lifting roles.
Eventually he was trained under a navigator who taught him much and Gkok learned even more after he killed his mentor for siding with the Captain during a mutiny. Since then he has sailed as the navigator for pirate vessels mainly, getting by with his skills and his ability to crush the skulls of most people who would speak out against him.
He has since served as the navigator on several vessels, having a knack for knowing when to find the next one to serve on just before the ship he was last on was doomed. Often this was because the crew had ignored his warnings about a heavy storm and the ship was unprepared - causing him to leave and them to die shortly after. Currently he is without a ship to serve upon and growing increasingly impatient to be off again.
