	As a half-ogre, Gaklah is easy to spot in any crowd. Towering at over seven feet in height, his shoulders more than half that in width, he often finds the living ~~accomodations~~ of the "little peoples" inadequate. He has fierce brown eyes and sandy brown hair that falls to his shoulders. His charming smile is broken by the tusks that point up from the corners of his mouth. Almost always dressed in his heroic armor, colored red and gold in honor of the Guardian of Heroes and Orphans, he is, at first glance, extremely intimidating.

	Gaklah's mother was human priestess of Forian. She arrived in the wilds north of Elysia and gave birth to a very healthy Gaklah.

During this time, she fell in with a group of fey druids and had a torrid affair with one of them. Soon after she was recovered from Gaklah's birth, she vanished, a victim of her wanderlust.

Gaklah takes after his ogre heritage more than his human one, and ogres abandon ~~thier~~ children all the time.

	Around twenty winters of age (Gaklah's birth date is unknown; so gauging his age is problematic at best) he traveled to Elysia. Why he did this might be hereditary. He seems to have the same wanderlust as his mother; never staying in one place too long. In any case, the "why" of it is less important than the event itself.

	Crude, even brutish, Gaklah was "adopted" by a small number of the Maidens of Dre'Ana and taught the basics of polite conversation and manners. During this time, he ventured into the Underdark and won the respect of a tribe of ogres there. He learned much of giantkin and Maleki from them. When he next visited the Underdark, all traces of the ogre tribes that dwelled there were gone. Gaklah is certain the minotaur tribes wiped out the giantkin, and he now hates minotaurs with the same passion that all ogres do.

	Many of Gaklah's friends were members of the Solar Brigade, so he joined them in ~~thier~~ crusade to stop an evil lich from gaining artifacts of white necromancy. During a particularly vicious battle with the minions of the lich, Gaklah's aged maul shattered. Among the corpses of his fallen enemies, Gaklah spied a silvery glimmer. He reached down and grasped the haft of a maul fashioned from solid mithril, and with a thunderous bellow he struck down the last foe before him.

Thus is the humble origin of the mighty Spidersmoosher, the signature weapon of Gaklah the Stone.

	Soon after, Gaklah had a falling out with the members of the Solar Brigade. He felt their methods were not in keeping with his code of honor and parted from them amicably. He had a long talk with [[PCs:Vanar Alhaldren\|Vanar Alhaldren]] before he left. It was this conversation with Vanar that started Gaklah down the path to become a follower of [[Dra'Nar]]. Not long after that, he spoke to [[PCs:Shannen Di'rithia\|Shannen Di'rithia]], who urged him to take on the mantle of Hero and enter Dra'Nar's service.
