Chapter Three: The Scales Tip
Hatock, and his brothers Grotan and Skal, entered into an active feud after the opening of the Dark Portal. Their father, Fenris, was supposedly killed by Hatock, and the brothers had their disagreements, resulting in a splintering of the Thunderlord forces and general chaos in ongoing conflict with both the Burning Blade and Laughing Skull clans.
Hatock himself, along with his gronn, had taken up command of a bridge in Silvermoon City, where he forced would-be-crossers to pay a toll in return for safe passage.
However, he became the target of Arthak Saurfang, who was seeking to end the chaos caused by the constant warring. Arthak and a contingent of his warriors, as well as the eredar prince Azgadaan, arrived in Hatock's territory, where Arthak challenged him to prove himself as a chieftain of his clan. At first, Hatock tried to refuse the challenge and have his followers cut down Arthak and those of his clan that arrived, but when Arthak reminded the gathered orcs that he had challenged their chieftain from chieftain to chieftain to a battle for victory or a hero's death, he was ultimately forced to accept.
It was a battle of him and his gronn, Grulloc, versus Arthak and his companion, Azgadaan.
Death
The battle was very short-lived, as Arthak was able to make short work of Hatock's gronn before it was ultimately finished off by a lightning bolt from Azgadaan. As the gronn fell, Azgadaan shoved Hatock back, causing him to be crushed by his dead pet. While he survived the fall of the gronn, he begged from Arthak, and Arthak loudly asked any of the gathered Thunderlords if they would attempt to save their leader.
None stepped forward while Hatock begged, and Arthak executed the gronnmaster before the gathered clan, earning the respect of the Thunderlords, and taking many of their number with him as new members of the Broken Blade.
