Got my opinions half did. Let me know what you all think. Also, unrelated fun-fact: A small tusk is called a tush, like the little ones on female elephants.

[hider=Xozu's thoughts...]


Nargesh "Tall Shadow" gra-Gonhamph - When one admires an ox for the strength in its flanks or thickness of its coat they are admiring it as an animal; a thing that might be bought, sold or butchered on a whim. It is apropos then, that Nargesh was bought into the company, as Xozu values her greatly but pays the woman little in the way of devoirs; lumping Tall Shadow in with the Wargs and other mongrels. 
 
Half-Face - Initially swayed by suspicions that he held some form of elven ancestry Xozu's first real interaction with the orc was to pelt him with a handful of malign powder. When this did not prove fatal she begrudgingly accepted half an orc to hold more weight than the whole of an elf and against her better judgment began to treat him as such. Though she sees through him his ambition is in itself endearing, as such the witch humors him as her neophyte. Xozu takes small pleasure in addressing him as such. 
 
Dakgu  Elf-Scalper - Being an aged crone Xozu knows a bit about the former Cha-Yesh tribe and, more importantly the Graldak that brought them low. Privately she harbors suspicion Dakgu's father was a hamrammr, a sort of pseudo-shaman able to 'shapestrong' his soul and take on the aspects of a family totem. By this reasoning she believes him to have inherited the wargmark, which would explain his uncanny kinship with the beasts and uncommon prowess for the hunt. That she had hoped to add Myrmith Tinuviel's braid to her own is a bit of a sour spot between them but she respects the skill it takes to slay a good knife-ear--for obvious reasons--a feat she doubts even Radush could have accomplished in Dakgu's stead. 
 
Grolan - Xozu has no great love of the Aluimite or his far eastern airs, oft demonstrate by calling him the 'little lord' or 'princeling'. Unlike the abuse hurled his way by young tribals the old orcess detests him not solely for his slight physique or foreign customs but on the principle of keeping humans out of the company. Chaffing at the thought that were Grolan half the man his father was he'd still amount to more orc than he is now. 
 
Einark No-Tusk - She scoffs at the Dead Mountain and Einark who knows nothing. He himself is no shaman or seer but a child grown fat on admirable lies, incapable of any act but regurgitating the mythos of his youth. Both a brave fool and a beautiful fanatic she hopes his time with real orcs will mend him of his witless ways. 
 
Kavu Brokentusk - Useful. Xozu would be the first to vouch for Kavu's contributions to the company, though that doesn't stop her from being one of his most strident critics. Feeling as if his time near Torceleblas poisoned his heart she'd love nothing more than Eye-Drinker's leave to 'correct' him, a request that continues to be summarily denied. Much to the witch's dismay he's grown very good at hiding those heathen Elven treatise after the first attempts to burn them.
