Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Commander Vo'jak encounter in Siege of Niuzao Temple.
What Commander Vo'jak lacks in strategic brilliance, he makes up for with raw ferocity. His devastating strikes were crucial to the mantid's exploitation of their insidious bridge, allowing them to infiltrate the island. Yet devising battle plans is for the mantid general; Vo'jak craves only blood.
