He "consorted with demons not allied to the orcs or their gods". That might very well have been caused by him finding out about said plans. I don’t know about you, but I’d have felt a little put-upon in those circumstances and would probably have started looking into some payback options…
Maybe, but Gruuumsh described him as impatient, not traitorous. Maybe he wasn’t willing to wait to conquer the world with military force and wanted to use the supposedly faster way of demon bargaining.
We’ve only heard twice about that guy before. The first was Maula talking about how he was accused of dealing with demons, though she was rather skeptical of these claims. The second was Gruumsh himself calling him "too impatient". So I guess he was a guy looking for shortcuts to power. It’s important to remember that Gruumsh’s plan for Halvelock and other half-orcs was to unite humans and orcs to create an unstoppable war machine that would conquer the rest of the world. Naive Glamor with her dream of peaceful unification would sound like an excellent opportunity to exploit to this end.
So Havelock started peace negotiations and the elder orcs did not like it so accused him of stuff and got rid of him. After all only a mad orc would want peace.
Actually, if you look at the page after this one, showing Halvelock before he got to put a crown on his head, the clothes DO match. That’s Halvelock in 1386.

oh joy, THAT Halvelock.
An elder Glon springs to mind.
There is definatly a family resemblance
Ah. I recall learning about that one, now to see if his reputation is earned or not.
Also I’m wondering if he ever learned about his gods specific plans for him.

I think you’re referring to https://yafgc.net/comic/1386-go-gruuumsh/ , but it’s not clear to me that Havelock is one of the pictured half-orcs there.
Oops, never mind, of course he’s on that page, I got to it from his cast page…
Sounds like someone who is good at giving you a haircut, with his axe.
Oh, you’re updating again!
And now we might be getting to learn more about the infamous Halvelock, too? It’s like Christmas. …in June.

Thanks for the summary!
Well, someone had to do it 😛
Did someone _really_ HAVE to do it? Maybe someone just decided to do it.
I’m glad someone did it and not just anyone.
Cue anyone…
🙁
lol
Why am I thinking "Peace in our time"?
Home by christmas! Right?

‘Whole new era for the Royal Bloodhand family.’
Yes, they got deposed. Sorry, Mak!
t!
Death tends to leave people out of the loop…
Wait? None of the half-orcs in 1386 look anything like this guy.
I always assumed Halvelock was the first guy on the left; Mr. "Too Impatient". The clothes don’t match up, but the face is about right.
