Also worthy of note - this is the last PM I'm going to do in the classic 3.5 style. All future entries will be designed with the Pathfinder system in mind! If you prefer your 3.5 un-updated though, fear not. It's a very simple matter to reverse engineer from one system to the other.

FLUFF AND TACTICS
The greatest orc chieftain to ever live, Obould Many-Arrows commands a mighty horde from his seat of power in the northern reaches of Faerûn. A credit to his fecund and ambitious race, he's sired many sons over his life, and intends to carve an even larger empire out of the Forgotten Realms, to make certain that his progeny all have enough elbow room to not fall into civil war at his passing, thereby undoing all he's wrought.
While it's generally accepted by civilized races that an orc horde will pour out of the mountains very few dozen races, the efforts of Obould have made the Many-Arrows clan a much more credible long-term threat to the Silver Marches, and perhaps to all of the Realms.
If Obould finds himself fighting alone, it must be a truly extraordinary circumstance. The few times he enters combat personally it is at the head of a horde for a a particularly important battle, his honor guard berserkers holding the line while he makes use of his famous bow. If a particularly worthy foe should challenge him to single combat however, he will oblige.
He rages at the first opportunity, and makes use of his gauntlets of true strike while power attacking for the full amount with the Horde King's Blade. If brought to below 1/4th his total HP he will quaff one of his potions and keep up the fight. He only flees if there is outside interference, or a more pressing tactical matter catches his attention.
