Chief Burguk is an Orsimer warrior, and the chief of the Dushnikh Yal stronghold.

Background

Burguk became the leader of his tribe after killing his father in one-on-one combat, who had become too old and weak to rule. Burguk states that one day, his own son will challenge and defeat him when the time comes. This custom ensures that the leaders of Dushnikh Yal are always strong and worthy.

As chief, Burguk is the only male in the entirety of the stronghold who may have wives and father children. He is the most respected member of the community due to this.

He has three children in total, one with each of his wives: Umurn, the blacksmith's apprentice; Nagrub, Umum's brother; and Lash gra-Dushnikh, Burguk's only daughter.

His three wives are Shel (his favorite), Arob, the Hunts-Wife, and Gharol, the Forge-Wife. His brothers are Ghorbash the Iron Hand and Oglub.

Interactions

The Forgemaster's Fingers

If the Dragonborn is not an Orc, retrieving The Forgemaster's Fingers for the stronghold will prompt Chief Burguk to name him or her blood-kin of the Orcs, and offer master-level training in one-handed weapons.

Fight! Fight!

If the Dragonborn asks Burguk for work, he will challenge them to a brawl with a bet of 100 Gold. Whoever wins will receive 200 Gold.

Hired Thugs

He may send thugs if the Dragonborn kills Lurbuk before the Dark Brotherhood quest "Contract: Kill Lurbuk," or, by contrast, send a letter with his thanks for killing Lurbuk instead.
