* InsaneTrollLogic: How Fingwit convinces himself his [[ItMakesSenseInContext refection]] really is him.
** "How many fingas am I holdin' up?" Fingwit's reflection asked.\\
Fingwit looked down at his hand. "Two," he said.\\
"Well 'dere yo go."

* MeaningfulName: Ufthak was originally depicted by Mike Brooks as having a hair squig shaped like a mohawk. In ''Brutal Kunnin'', he also adapts the moniker of [[spoilers:Gargantsmasha']].

He's the protagonist of the short story '' Where Dere's Da Warp Dere's A Way'', and the novels ''Brutal Kunnin'' and ''Da Big Dakka''. He also recently recieved a unique mini for the tabletop game itself.

* FriendlyRivalry: As "friendly" as things can be between Orks. As a boy, Ufthak had a rival known as Mogrot Redtoof with whom he constantly fought with for the position of Badgit's second-in-command. After Badgit was killed and Ufthak had his head stitched onto his body however, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Ufthak quickly put Mogrot in his place]]. As of ''Brutal Kunnin'', Mogrot effectively serves as Ufthak's second-in-command and seems to be content with his lot, though Ufthak still doesn't fully trust him for [[KlingonPromotion obvious reasons]].
** As of the end of ''Brutal Kunnin'', he appears to have developed one with [[spoiler:Kaptin Badrukk]] as well.

* RightHandAttackDog: Gained one in ''Brutal Kunnin'' in the form of his new attack squig, dubbed [[FluffyTheTerrible "Princess"]] after misreading [[spoiler: a plaque on the Princeps' tank aboard the Warlord Titan that he brought down]].

* GeniusBruiser: ''Big time''. In ''Brutal Kunnin'', Ufthak came up with a plan to destory both [[spoiler: a [[HumongousMecha Warlord-class titan]] and an equally massive daemon engine]], as well as kill the [[spoiler: Tech Priest Dominus of Hephaesto (albeit with a little help from Princess) in a duel]].

Ufthak Blackhawk is a member of Da Tekwaaagh!, led by a Big Mek Warlord known only as Da Meklord. An exceptionally cunning Ork, Ufthak was once just a lowly boy when a series of events lead to him getting his severed head stitched onto the decapitated body of his former Nob leader, Badgit Snazzhammer, and taking over his command (as well as his signature weapon. Since then, he's continued to claw his way up through the ranks, thanks to his newfound strength and considerable cunning.

!! Mad Doc Grotsnik, da Painboss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grotsnik.png]]
->''"Operate! Operate! Still time to operate!"''

The Deathskulls Painboy who saved the life of the future Grand Warlord Ghazghkull, Grotsnik soon became just as famous as his patient and found his skills in high demand. After the Nobz of his tribe discovered the bombs that the eccentric Doc had including alongside his "Ghazghkull special" however, the Nobz bloody revenge left Grotsnik on deaths door and in the hands of his enthusiastic, if not terribly skilled, Grot orderlies. The resulting surgery left Grotsnik an insane mess of ruined flesh and cybernetics whose obsession with bizarre surgical procedures and horrifying medical experiments became all-consuming with only Ghazghkull's patronage protecting him from a more permanent death. In an effort to gather more raw material for his experiments, the Mad Dok has gathered his own warband of Painboyz, Freebooterz and Cybork Deathskulls known as Da Corpse Lootas who scour the battlefields of the galaxy for interesting specimens.

* AxCrazy: Even for an Ork, Grotsnik is bloodthirsty, an infectious madness that spreads to any greenskins in his mob. His unit is completely Fearless, ''must'' move at full speed toward the nearest enemy and assault it if possible, and unlike other special characters Grotsnik can't leave a squad he joins until he's the only one left in it.
* CameBackWrong: One of his Gretchin orderlies lost his lunch while up to his elbows in Grotsnik's skull, another's pet spider hid somewhere in the Dok's body, Grotsnik died several times on the operating table, and it was only thanks to [[MagicalDefibrillator repeated uses of a Grot-prod]] that he ultimately survived the night. Small wonder he's one scalpel short of a medpack.
* TheDreaded: Amongst Orks, who speak of the countless medical horrors he commits.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: {{Subverted|Trope}}; the Nobz tried to do this to him by having a Deff Dread cut his head open and leaving him to die. He got better.
* MadDoctor: Even other ''Painboyz'' think Grotsnik is a total loony! He's gotten into a habit of amputating his own limbs and swapping them with the arms and legs of his customers, simply for the fun of it. He's notorious for his unorthodox surgeries, particularly the dreaded "Squig brain transplant" where he empties the patient's skull and stuffs a live fungus-monster in it. He's even rumored to be building his own "super-Ork" out of organs and body parts stolen from his patients. This turns out to be true when he installs Ghazghkull's head onto it.
* MomentOfLucidity: One piece of evidence that the ork gods really ''do'' have Ghazghkull's back is that when he ''really'' needs Grotsnik to think clearly, Grotsnik will suddenly start thinking clearly, offering good advice akin to the genius he used to be or, in one crucial moment, successfully rescuing Ghazghkull's severed head and installing it onto a super-ork body to make the warlord [[CameBackStrong even more powerful than ever before]], a feat of surgery that'd be impressive for someone who ''wasn't'' usually one scalpal short of a medpac. At the end of the Ghazghkull audio novel [[spoiler: Grotsnik never wanted to sabotage Ghazghkull and believes that his random exprements on Ghazghkull's brain helps Ghazghkull commune with the gods]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Painboyz who get as nutty as he does usually end up being killed by their large amounts of angry "patients". Grotsnik, however, is good friends with Ghazghkull; if anyone wants to take on Grotsnik, they'll have to take on Ghazghkull and no one is big enough to take on Ghazghkull.
* YourHeadAsplode: Enforced on Nobs that displeased Grotsnik via the bombs he implanted in their heads while giving them their adamantium skulls. After he survived their revenge, the lunatic Dok capered in the moonlight, setting off the remaining bombs as a counterpart to his singing.

!! Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, Prophet of Gork and Mork, Beast of the Apocalypse
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghazghkull_mag_uruk_thraka.png]]
->''"I'm da hand of Gork and Mork, dey sent me to rouse up da boyz to crush and kill 'cos da boyz forgot what dere 'ere for. I woz one of da boyz till da godz smashed me in da 'ead an' I 'membered dat Orks is meant to conquer and make slaves of everyfing they don't kill."''

The most famous and feared of all living greenskins with a reputation to rival that of The Beast himself, Ghazghkull is a visionary Warlord who has united thousands of tribes and billions of Orks with his brutal strength, insane courage and incredible battle prowess. Over the course of his bloody career, Ghazghkull has acquired a long and ever-growing list of victories that include the looting of forge worlds and the destruction of an entire Chapter of Astartes. The Grand Warlord has twice invaded the linchpin Imperial world of Armageddon and although the planet has refused to fall, the ongoing conflict has only added to his reputation. As Gork's Grin splits the stars the influence of the Prophet of Gork and Mork has grown even greater, and Ghazghkull leads his Great Waaagh! against the other races of the galaxy with greater ferocity than ever before.

!! Gargaz Teefgrabba
[[quoteright:400:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0197.png]]
[[caption-width-right:400:Let's get krumpin'!]]

Gargaz Teefgrabba is a member of WAAAGH! Gutrekka as it invades the Imperium world of Luteus (although the Orks spell it as 'Looteus') for its Promethium wells to fuel their own war machines. Gargaz was a loyal Ork and comrade of the WAAAGH!'s leader, Warboss Gutrekka -- until Gutrekka, believing that Gargaz was becoming more 'snazzy' than he is thanks to Gargaz's Hair-Squig (since only the Warboss can have the "snazziest" things in his eyes), turns on Gargaz by stealing said Hair-Squig and punting him off his plane. Surviving the fall, Gargaz sets off on a rampage of revenge against his former warboss for betraying him (and to get that Hair-Squig back), an adventure that will take him across and even beyond the world of Luteus, along the way collecting Teef, increasing his arsenal of wacky yet dangerous Ork guns, and killing everything and anyone who gets in his way. He is the protagonist of the game ''VideoGame/ShootasBloodAndTeef''
----
* ColonyDrop: Downplayed, but, to get back to Luteus' surface, Gargaz sets Gutrekka's Kill Kroozer on a collision course with the planet after storming the bridge, crash-landing the hundreds-metres-sized Ork spacecraft right into the invading Orks' main base and straight at Gutrekka's doorstep.
* DumbMuscle: Like most Orks, Gargaz is not very bright. For example, he's only smart enough to realise that something's not right with the anatomy of the enemies that he's fighting in the sewers and the foundry, but not smart enough to put two-and-two together that [[spoiler:he's dealing with Genestealers]] in those levels, merely thinking that they are 'funny-lookin' Humies'. It could be that he never met one before, but, in the end, he doesn't particularly care to find out.
* EvilIsPetty: He's entirely motivated by the fact that his ex-Warboss Gutrekka turned on his loyal underling and former comrade Gargaz just to steal his Hair-Squig, seeing it as snazzy and reasoning that only the Warboss should have the snazziest things in a WAAAGH!
* TheDeterminator: Gargaz will stop at absolutely nothing to get back at Gutrekka for betraying him (and stealing his Hair-Squig), even if he has to kill his way across Luteus and even into outer space to do it.
-->'''Gargaz:''' ''[to Gutrekka]'' I've [[OneManArmy fought a whole world to get dat back]]. I'm gonna rip it right off your stupid, pointy head!
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Similar to [[Videogame/FireWarrior Kais]], Gargaz is a fairly bog-standard Ork by himself who nonetheless manages to single-handedly devastate the Imperial Guard, a squad of White Scars Primaris, [[spoiler:a genestealer cult]], and an Ork WAAAGH!
* ShutUpKirk: When the pilot of the Imperial Knight tries to give a big speech about how Gargaz can't hope to best the Imperium's finest, Gargaz interrupts him and tells him to shut up and just start the fight already.
* SillyReasonForWar: Orks in general are prone to fighting over the silliest reasons, but this one is especially ridiculous -- Gargaz gets an army of Goff Klan Orks on his side to rampage through Imperium, [[spoiler:Genestealer]] and Ork forces... all because his Warboss stole his Hair-Squig.
* SuperMode: Gargaz can channel the Waaagh! through his guns to make them fire without thought to ammo or heat for fifteen seconds.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: It's implied Gargaz and Gutrekka were close comrades (or as close to it as Orks can be) even after Gutrekka became a Warboss. Then Gutrekka terminated the friendship and betrayed Gargaz out of envy of Gargaz's snazzy Head-Squig decoration. The whole plot concerns Gargaz's RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Gutrekka over it.

Dere's not one grot in a red coat who goes where he's needed, encouragin' da grots ta rise up against da orks an' make life better for 'emselves.
