Tramun Clogg

An enormously fat stoat with plaited fur and a pair of large wooden clogs, Tramun Josiah Cuttlefish Clogg was the pirate captain of the Seascarab, and also a rival of Badrang the Tyrant in the northwestern sea. Despite his clumsy appearance, Clogg was clever and deceitful. When Badrang went east to build an empire, Clogg was determined to find and kill him. He sailed the high seas with his crew, until one day he came upon Badrang's fortress Marshank. Clogg and his crew entered the fortress to meet Badrang, but when they tried to overthrow him they were swiftly trapped and were forced to leave. A few nights later, though, Clogg besieged Marshank. When it became clear that he could not breach the fort, he signed an uneasy alliance with Badrang. When Badrang's slaves escaped and the Marshank horde went out to find them, Clogg quickly entered the fort with the crew and claimed it for himself. Unfortunately, there was a secret tunnel leading into the fort, made by the escaped slaves, and Badrang reentered through that. Clogg's treachery was clear, and Badrang enslaved him. At the turning point, Clogg's crew deserted him and surrendered to Badrang, agreeing to join his horde. Clogg spent a short time as a slave, making up for his shame by insulting and jibing Badrang. During a war, he was sent to bury the bodies of dead soldiers. At one point, Badrang, losing patience with Clogg's interference, struck him hard over the head with a pike shaft and drove him mad. When Marshank was captured, Clogg alone survived. He lived for the rest of his life alone in the horde.
