WoW Character Descriptions

Thorren Bluffwatch - Shaman of the Earthen Ring.  Thorren's family were Bluffwatchers for generations.  His mother was a Shaman healer at Thunderbluff.  As a fierce supporter of the Bloodhoof chieftans, she was among those killed during the Grimtotem coup.  Thorren set out into the world in the face of the coup and the cataclysm.  He was recruited by the Earthen Ring after valiant efforts in Thousand Needles and Dustwallow Marsh.  Thorren is calm and steady.  He cares deeply about those around him and Azeroth as a whole.  He is highly loyal to Baine and Vol'jin's new Horde regime, but considered himself more of a neutral agent working for the Earthen Ring while Garrosh was the Warchief.  Thorren does hold a serious grudge against the Grimtotems, and in particular Magtha, who he blames for his mother's death (and after more recent revelations, Cairne's).  When Garrosh fled through the Dark Portal to an alternate Draenor, Thorren was approached by a high ranking Darkspear to form a team to hunt the war criminals of Garrosh's campaign against the Alliance and in Pandaria.  He called upon his frequent allies Rohk'narani and Aqueous Lion and they formed a small team.  In the process, he began mentoring an Orc Warrior named Tarisai.

Rohk'narani - Once, Narani was an adept Shadow Hunter for the Darkspear tribe, but she died in combat against the second Scourge invasion.  She was raised by the Lich King as a death knight and was freed with the other Knights of the Ebon Blade.  She renamed herself Rohk'narani (meaning "the destruction of Narani"), and mostly kept in seclusion for the next several years, but accepted an assignment to journey to Pandaria.  When Vol'jin's Darkspear Revolution began, she sided with the rebels. After killing a rival Death Knight in Garrosh's service, emotions she'd thought were dead awoke in Rohk'narani and she tattooed an image of the Darkspear on her face down across her right eye.  Rohk'narani is reserved and "cold." She is mindful of others out of courtesy, but rarely feels much for them.  As Narani, she was nearly the opposite and since her "awakening" she has had flashes of this old personality.  Rohk'narani was glad to join a small team to hunt Horde war criminals.

Aenthera Sunward - Aenthera has a researcher's heart.  She has always loved to learn and contemplate the nature of events on Azeroth.  She served as a priest in the Third War, and was crushed  to see human settlements destroyed by the Scourge, and even more dismayed by Garithos' treatment of the elves under Kael'thas.  Despite that, she retained her loyalty to the High Elves under Vereesa Windrunner.  Over time, Aenther became convinced that study of the Titans might hold the key to curing the Forsaken and especially Sylvanas.  She had dealings with Rheastrasza and later the Scryers, aiding in the retaking of the Sunwell.  At that time, she chose to become a paladin.  Aenthera is inquisitive and bold, sometimes tactless.  She is fiercely loyal and almost obsessed with the Titans.  She is close allies with Angieneer, a Goblin who served Rheastrasza, and Tahmid, a Forsaken Warlock who shares her goal of curing Sylvanas and the Forsaken.

Tahmid - Tahmid was born a farmer with an unremarkable life.  He died the same at the hands of a Scourge ghoul.  He was raised into undeath not long after.  Tahmid hates his existence and seeks to cure himself or end his life.  He takes risks few others would take, because they'll help one goal or the other.  He took up the mantle of Warlock for just such purposes.  Oddly, he then swore himself as an agent and sort of bodyguard of Aenthera.  Her goals of curing the Forsaken speak to him, though secretly he hopes the Titans curing him will allow him to simply return to the rest of death.  Dour and bitter, Tahmid is often rude.  He has very little patience, but does hold out hope for peace for himself. He has a hard time being civil with Angineer, but the Goblin rarely acknowledges any of his slights.

Tarisai - An Orcish warrior of the Frostwolf Clan, Tarisai grew up in Azeroth among stories of Draenor told mostly by Drek'thar.  When the Iron Horde invaded, she convinced clan elders she was old enough and skilled enough to fight them and ended up with a small team of others (Thorren, Rohk'narani, Aenthera, and Tahmid) that made it through the Dark Portal before it was shut.  They managed to make it to the commandeered Frostwolf boats before Grommash could catch them.  Tarisai threw herself into learning Frostwolf culture.  While the others lived in a Azerothian Garrison, she settled at Bladespire, learning all she could.  Tarisai is fierce and brave.  She sometimes overestimates herself, but her willingness to work at things often pulls her through.  She has only limited ability to speak to the elements, but after being added to Thorren, Rohk'narani, and Aqueous Lion's team, she became an apprentice of sorts to Thorren. While on Draenor she helped Thorren attend the birth of a young Orc named Kagaral, who she would encounter again after many years had passed on the alternate Draenor.

Bul'yan - A Troll Rogue with a penchant for making jokes about being a cannibal, Bul'yan is a loyal supporter of the Horde.  Working for a Darkspear leader who chose to remain anonymous, as well as Rohkan, Bul'yan worked as the liaison for Thorren's group of war criminal hunters.  Bul'yan is a friendly and jovial sort, and fairly open about what his work is once he trusts others.  He can be found wherever Darkspear interests are being served.  Bul'yan has more recently taken up the worship of Kimbul and is highly motivated to bring the Zandalari into the Horde.

Aqueous Lion - From Pandaria proper, Aqueous Lion was the protector of a small tavern on the edge of the Valley of the Four Winds and the Krasarang Wilds.  Most of his job was scaring off Virmen, Hozen, or Saurok, but he had encountered the Sha once or twice.  Moved by the damage wrought by Garrosh, he at first struck out to fight the Horde, but after encountering individuals from the other Horde races, he decided to join first Vol'jin's Darkspear Revolution and then the Horde.  He was not among the first wave through the reopened Dark Portal, but he did make it through in time to participate in the campaign against the Iron Horde.  Aqueous Lion is quick to joke and laugh.  He is friendly and hard working.  When called upon to fight he can become very calm and straightforward.

Angieneer - Goblin engineer extraordinaire.  Angie is rarely far from her pets, especially her tiger, Stalock.  Eager to have her name living forever as an inventor, Angie has traveled the world to find the best "stuff" to help in her creations. She met Aenthera through a mutual connection to Rheastrasza.  The Goblin is convinced in the importance of preserving life all over Azeroth and in deciphering the tools of the Titans.  Irrepressible and smart, Angie can sometimes stray into "annoying."

Kaelana Sunward - The much younger sister of Aenthera and girlfriend of Kalodred.  Kaelana is a priest as her sister was before her.  Kaelana had been named by her parents in honor of Kael'thas Sunstrider, and chose to keep the name despite Kael'thas' descent into madness.  Kaelana is eager to live up to her sister's legacy but has spent very little time in the wider world.  She has recently begun working with Thorren's team.

Kalodred Dawnstorm - Mage and boyfriend of Kaelana.  A bit vain and presumptuous.  Kalodred is focused on being the next great blood elf mage, hoping it means being a leader like Kael'thas.  Kalodred became a privateer captain for a time, with a ship called the Sunwave, but has kept close ties to the Horde.  He frequently provides transport to Thorren's team.

Veral'dax - Born on the outskirts of Silvermoon's influence many years before the invasion of the Lich King, Veral'dax lost most of his family to the Scourge.  Those few who fled to Theramore with him were killed defending the World Tree against the invasion of the Burning Legion at the end of the Third War.  Alone, hopeless, and angry, Veral'dax turned to Illidan Stormrage, travelling to Outland to join the Illidari.  He was beginning to have doubts about the savagery of his fellow Demon Hunters when the Horde and Alliance assaulted the Black Temple and he was captured by the Wardens.  Awakened at the start of the latest Legion invasion, he began striking at demon threats across the Broken Isles before linking up with Rohk'narani and Aqueous Lion to take down a rogue Blood Elf Warlock.  He has been travelling with their group since.

Xerzarn - Troll Druid

Kagaral - Born on the alternate Draenor where Garrosh fled after his actions in Pandaria.  He was delivered by Thorren and Tarisai.  Born with a shock of white hair, he felt a connection to the elements at an extremely young age.  Skilled in the ways of the Shaman and now nearly as old as Thorren, he was among the first to join the Horde when they called upon the Mag'har.

Thanpelar - Born in Suramar only a few short years after the dome went up, Thanpelar was fixated on the variety of animals that had been saved by her fellow Nightborne.  She worked in the zoo, caring for all sorts of creatures.  She became well-versed in the moods and instincts of the animals, forming a close bond with a family of manasabers, the youngest of which now serves as her travelling companion.  She sided with Thalryssa against Ellisande and later requested to be sent as a representative to the Horde so she could learn about animals outside the Broken Isles.

Golraath - much younger sibling of Virendaa, Golraath was born shortly before the escape of the Draenai from Draenor.  As such, he grew on Azeroth.  He always felt a deep connection to the elements and sought out training as a shaman as part of his life's natural course.  He joined the Alliance expedition to Pandaria not out of fury at the Horde or devotion to the Alliance, but because he felt the elements urging him to do so.  Golraath has been deeply touched by his time on the alternate Draenor.  He is a fierce supporter of Yrel.  Golraath has a close friendship with Thorren via the Earthen Ring.

Virendaa - Born on Argus, Virendaa was a Vindicator who believed strongly in the Prophet Velen and fled the planet on the Exodar and chose to remain with the Prophet when those who would become the Lightforged departed.  When she settled on Draenor, she found that she loved the wild nature of the world and travelling in it.  When the Orcs turned on them, she defended her parents and much younger brother, Golraath, helping them flee the red mists and the Orcs alike.  Upon the crash of the Exodar on Azeroth, she set off into the world, dissatisfied with war and the plight of her people.  Eventually, she found her way to Pandaria where she finally found peace at the Temple of the White Tiger. She fought to defend Pandaria from Garrosh, fought to avenge the deaths of her friends and family on an alternate Draenor, and fought for Azeroth against the Legion on Argus.

 Nyina - Night Elf Death Knight

Idristyrion - As a young teen, Idristyrion watched the horrors of the Scourge siege Gilneas.  Graymane's successful defense of the city made Idristyrion a staunch royalist and he fought for Graymane during the civil war sparked by Darius Crowley.  Idristyrion has followed in the wake of his king wherever he has gone and has most made a name for himself with his service against the Forsaken in Stormheim on the Broken Isles.

Celeron - Void Elf Priest
