Obould

King Obould Many-Arrows was created by the author R.A. Salvatore and is featured in The Hunter's Blades Trilogy.

Obould Many-Arrows is the king of the Broken Arrow tribe. Obould is a large orc who is intelligent even by human standards. He wears a ridged suit of plate armor that is adorned with numerous spikes. In battle he uses a greatsword enchanted to catch fire at will. His crown has four large rubies set into it each of which can generate a large fireball. His main shaman and advisor, Arganth, also made him a helmet shaped like a skull with a protective lens of the rare glassteel.

Considering that the blessings bestowed upon him have calmed him somewhat appearantly, he has become able to see things in a far broader perspective then any orc before him. This has already led to some speculations as to a pending change in orcish society under his leadership.

Some time previous to his current conquest of the lands around Mithril Hall he managed to capture and for some time hold Citadel Adbar, which he had renamed the Citadel of Many Arrows. He lost this city due to infighting and the cunning of the original dwarven inhabitants who came to reclaim their city.

During his assault on the dwarven settlement of Mithral Hall, he underwent a religious ceremony where he was blessed by the orc god Gruumsh, which gave him greater strength, speed, and intelligence (the strength of a bull and the speed of a wildcat), and made his name synonymous with that of the orc god. He is commonly referred to by other orcs as "Obould-Who-Is-Gruumsh".

Obould also had a son named Urlgen Threefist, who was Obould's top commander. Urglen was slain in combat by the moon elf Innovindil in the novel The Lone Drow.

Computer games
Obould is encountered by the player during the events of Neverwinter Nights. Neverwinter Nights, however, is not considered canon.

Novels
In the book The Two Swords, Obould battles Drizzt Do'Urden in a vicious duel, but it is interrupted before a clear victor can be determined. This leaves a mammoth cliff-hanger to be determined in the possible future installments of the Drizzt series.

As of Road of the Patriarch it seems that Obould has withdrawn from Mithral Hall and has begun to secure what land he has already taken.
