The Impaler

Story
One of the intelligent orcs, displaying ruthless amorality. He raided the Feroholm region for some time, but when he attempted to do so while Simon was in town, he was defeated by the party. Though he submits to Simon, he disagrees with Simon's philosophy of life and it remains to be seen if he can be trusted. The dialog between him and Orcent it's another good example of that.

Oddly, the Impaler is one of the only orcs to display no interest in raping anyone. He only threatens the girl with death and he doesn't participate in the village orgy even if he was spared.

Players can choose whether or not to kill him or spare him. In addition to relationship points, the two decisions have the following consequences:
 * Kill: Massive experience bonus.
 * Spare: Submits to Simon, brings his orcs to fight during the battle in Chapter 2 and later to the Battle of Yhilin in chapter 3.

As explained by Orcent, the Impaler more or less drops off the face of the earth after the Wasteland. He is certainly not a factor as Simon and Balia meet, but it will be interesting to see if there is any future interaction with Balia or Simon later on. Although he reappears at the end of Doom King's invasion, he hasn't interacted with the Zirantian specialist for now (as of version 0.18.3).

(Betatester speculation: Simon's plan seems good. Raiding Incubus King armies is a great idea so I opt for sparing him. It's one of the many "sacrifice XP or ProN for plot" choices that Sierra seems to like. Of course long term effect are unknown but with the arrival of Balia things will be interesting).
