In my Dorastor campaign, one of the NPCs who figured heavily for a while was an Orlanthi called Halim. He was a member of the Bilini Court and often ventured into Dorastor to kill Chaos. At one time, he married King Bolthor's daughter and was on the way to becoming king of Bilini. However, Halim had a secret - he was an Ogre HeroQuestor dedicated to bringing down the Orlanth cult. He was an accomplished HeroQuestor and was intent on gaining Storm powers himself so that he could convince anyone that he was a good Orlanthi.

The following is a short description of his statistics as I used them in my campaign. They are fairly complete, but do not include all skills - I never cared what his Sneak skill was as he never used it near the players, for instance.

Notes

Halim has a permanent False Form spell, gained through HeroQuest, that prevents people from realising he is an Ogre
His abdomen, chest and head are heavily enchanted for extra hit points
He has several spirits bound into tattoos, the magic spirits are linked to POW spirits that supply the magic spirits with Magic Points, although Halim can use them at a pinch.
Halim is illuminated but very careful about what he does
