Kaz the Shrieker is a notable shaman of the Laughing Skull clan in the alternate timeline's Gorgrond. She can later be recruited as a follower, provided a Lumber Mill has been built in Beastwatch.
History
Kaz the Shrieker is known for her open sadistic personality, she is fiercely protective of her son Cutter and strangely loyal to the commander once recruited.
Kaz was first seen once the commander with Durotan and Draka entered the Deadgrin village attacked by goren. Once the Beastwatch camp was established, she and Draka entered the jungle's forests to search for other orcs that had been caught in the middle of the war between magnaron and genesaur. While initially suspicious of Kaz, Draka comes to respect the Laughing Skulls and admire Kaz's dedication to her family. Horrified at the vile nature of the botani (abducting children in particular), she notes their savagery is what has helped them survive in the brutal lands of Gorgrond. Once located, Kaz ordered the adventurer to kill the infected orcs and to find three particular individuals - of whom all were dead, including her mate, Torg Earkeeper. Their son, Cutter was also caught but was kept alive and immediately rescued. Her next plan was to use the sacred waters of the botani in the ensuing conflict. Kaz even comes to call Draka sister in their confrontation against the attacking genesaur Iyu, symbolizing the two clans' growing respect for one another. After Iyu's death, she participated in the attack on the northern part of Gorgrond against the Iron Horde and eventually joined the commander as a follower and left for Frostwall.
She can also be seen watching fights between garrison commanders in the Coliseum of Highmaul.
Battle for Azeroth
After the defeat of the Burning Legion on Draenor, the orcs and draenei lived in peace alongside each other for years as they rebuilt their world. Eventually however, naaru arrived and the draenei became fanatic, forming the Lightbound and converting many orcs to the Light whether they wanted it or not.[1] While several decades had passed on Draenor, only a handful of years had passed on Azeroth. The Mag'har eventually were transported to Azeroth through the efforts of Eitrigg.[2] Following this, Kaz, like the other Mag'har, would join the Horde. She participated in defending Zuldazar from the Alliance's assault, using several "tamed" goren to eat Dark Iron dwarf machinery.[3]

Speculation

It is speculated that Kaz is the chieftain of the Laughing Skull clan. Though there is no specific mention of her being the clan's chieftain, she apparently has a certain authority given on one orc's comment (Limbflayer: "No one blows up MY village! Nobody! Except maybe Kaz. But nobody else!"). She refers to the clan as her people.[4] In addition, Kaz is the only recruitable follower from the Laughing Skull clan to have her own unique sound files when clicked.
