Ugroth Bolgrot was a substitute for the Gouged Eyes, spending most of his time warming up the bench, reaching water and towels to others and otherwise poking the ground with his feet. It then happened in 2474 that Gort Sever-limb, coach of the Eye’s, needed Ugroth to get off the bench and into the action on the pitch, as in that year, most of the Eyes got massacred by ‘Axeface’ Manglesson, leaving Sever-limb not much of a choice. After several shocking attempts to find any potential in Ugroth’s gawky body control, it became clear that Bolgrot’s position in the team had to be based on anything but his body. The only option left was to reach deep into the dirty tricks box. Initially, Sever-limb had his doubts about trusting a guy with a chainsaw who constantly pokes his eyes, but as Ugroth seemed even more dangerous with the ball, and as there was no real choice anyway, Sever-limb took his chances. It amazingly turned out that Ugroth Bolgrot had a natural affinity to chainsaws and whenever he held grinningly onto his chainsaw, he devolved into a player who’s cutting action could switch the momentum of a match the other way. Inspired by his success, his support club grew constantly, just as his media presence. Unfortunately, all the attention went straight to Ugroth’s head, went berserk, and convinced him that he, Bolgrot, was no one less than the personification of Xiangruul, Orc Goddess of Football and Violent Death (what makes him the first transsexual Orc in history by the way, not much difference though). From that time on, Ugroth turns into a raving Xiangruul during matches who slaughters her way unstoppably through everything and inevitably through the stands as well, what earned her the probably eternal record of most spectators killed during a match. But beside being the most entertaining player for two consecutive years, Xiangruul is constantly cutting down the number of his support club, and if she keeps up this rate, he will be stripped of every fan within five years. A drop in popularity that might lose him his lucrative contract with the Orccutter XXL company. Can he take it? By the sour looks of his bookies, probably not.

Ugroth Bolgrot was once a pretty solid player at Mork`s Maulers until the fans one day, after a fateful defeat, dismantled the team. Only three players from the original Maulers remained and Ugroth was one of them. Although the Maulers were rebuilt in the next two years, this event had Ugroth deeply shaken. He was simply no longer the same.
For weeks he brooded how to take revenge on the rebellious fans until he first saw a chain saw in action during a game of the Dwarf Giants. It was loud, brutal and ever wanted more - just like him. The team outfitter of the Giants had something going with an elf cheerleader for some time and therefore Ugroth was successful at blackmailing him to get a hold of a chainsaw himself.
From there on Ugroth went by "Ripper" Bolgrot and his relationship with his chainsaw, and a statistical record of 42 dead fans in a game, has become legendary in the Blood Bowl leagues and has contributed significantly to the reconstruction of the Maulers, which are sponsored by Block and Dodger since then.
