Nobz

A Nob (pl: Nobz) is a larger Ork Boy who is smaller than and subservient to an Ork Warboss but still possesses some authority amongst other Greenskins of his tribe or klan because of his greater-than-average size and strength. The term “Nob” is believed to be an Orkish bastardisation of the Imperial Low Gothic word for “noble.” To rise through the ranks of the Orks requires cunning brutality, brutal cunning, and smashing the head of any challenger to Nob’s throne. Ork Nobz often come to blows with rival mob leaders, and go out of their way to prove their competency to their Warboss. Nobz are thus both feared and revered. They can thrive as leaders provided they can survive a few knives in the back and dole out appropriate punishments.
