A somewhat distinguished Orang-Utan Scholar, though at a spry 238 years young, is barely more than a teenager by his people’s standards. Raised amidst the steamy chaos of Delthrak’s jungles, Ooglor honed his intellect under the enigmatic Master Banook, the infamous Tamer of the Lesezeichen Tribe, within the hallowed, and slightly overstocked, halls of Bibliotekopolis.
Growing up in the lesser-known, and slightly questionable, Keep of Ostebrem (which, incidentally, has yet to be found on any respectable map), Ooglor developed not only his wit but also an uncanny ability to stretch his arms to remarkable lengths—mostly to snatch books from under the noses of local riffraff, occasionally resulting in the odd scuffle where he found himself having to administer a few well-aimed paws, against the sort of unscheduled parade of things that go bump, rattle, and grumble in the night - a group of friends you’d only keep if you had a necromancer on speed dial. So, Nothing too serious. Before taking root in Bibliotekopolis, Ooglor journeyed across Delthrak, meticulously mapping its verdant splendor. Having completed this grandiose bout of exploration (which involved less mapping and more enthusiastic drinking than he might admit), Ooglor now keeps his eyes wide open, constantly aware of any new knowledge that might cross his path—or any foe foolish enough to disrupt his studies.
This venture, apart from improving his cartography skills, left him with a somewhat suspicious knowledge of magic and an unhealthy obsession with the board game known as Life’s Great Feasts. Having left his wild baby steps behind, Ooglor now leads a rather reclusive hermit’s life in the grand library of Kreuzhügel, never far from a dusty tome or two.
His magnum opus, The Houses of Ill Repute in Delthrak and Delara,, remains a bestseller in the Delthraki travel community. In his spare time, when not deciphering occult pasta recipes or pondering the culinary uses of rare herbs, Ooglor can be found writing scathingly accurate OoogleMaps reviews, much to the delight of local shopkeepers.
He takes great pride in being a well-read Delthraki ape—unlike some other characters who might feel differently. He looks down on those visiting so-called “heroes” sometimes, scoffing with light loathing disdain and thinking, “You barbaric sewer crawlers! Shhh! Read a book for once.” Though, to be fair, he does have a soft spot for the elf—one of the few who understands the importance of well-preserved scrolls.
