Zevrad Stargazer

"You are a part of my fate, as I am a part of yours."

- Zevrad Stargazer's whispered words to Edis Kaelah

Zevrad Stargazer is a Kaldorei / Night Elf male who joined the ranks of the Illidari / Demon Hunters and became one of their Slayers. A title bestowed with to an Illidari with the highest prestige. Yet he had no care for petty titles or worthless glory for his goals was to see the safety of Azeroth and the destruction of the Burning Legion by any means necessary...or was it?

Deep inside the Demon Hunters mind resided the soul of the Demon Gan'arg, Mal'akor, who had taken control over the Night Elf's body along with the role and memories of Zevrad Stargazer. For many years he followed the teachings and tasks of the Illidari in order to survive and avoid suspicion.

His performance within the ranks was mediocre when it came to both agility and strength. However, he excelled in the fields of souls and illusions making him the most cunning hunter among the Illidari.

Mantra
I am vengeance incarnate. Thorns are my body and Fel is my blood. I have endured over a thousand blades. Familiar of Death yet cling to Life. And so I gaze, Chaos Nephilim Star.

Personality
Mal'akor was at first amoral, arrogant, and unnecessarily cruel towards others who dared stand against him. He was quite stubborn and would do things that others were afraid of doing. If something pushed him in one direction then he would face it head-on.

Nowadays, he oddly attempts to give respect and kindness to mostly everyone. Especially so for those who pursue freedom, have strong beliefs, and desire for a better tomorrow. This shift in personality formed when he adopted the young Draenei child named Edis.

It was from that moment that Mal'akor was truly reborn as Zevrad Stargazer since the two individual personalities, mind, and soul merged into one singular being.

Inheritance Weapon
No weapons could be truly compatible with his body structure due to his hybrid nature. So Mal'akor used his knowledge and skills as a tinkerer to craft a weapon that would grow and evolve with him. A weapon that was designed for him and only him - an inheritance weapon.

The name of the weapon would be known as the Demonion Edge and the ability it contained would be later called the Demolution. Its abilities and traits will alter based on the form the weapon takes.

Demonic Powers
Mal'akor uses the flames of the Fel to empower his body and perform destructive attacks with either his weapons or magical abilities. However, constant use of these abilities will gradually corrupt and decay the body to a withered state. So Mal'akor resolved these problems by using three components that would act as a conduit to channel his abilities.
 * 1) Mask of Demons
 * 2) The Heart of Gan'arg
 * 3) Demonion Edge

Background
Mal'akor was a foolish Gan'arg who was tasked to craft weapons and armor for the Burning Legion. He excelled in this role and yet he wanted more to life because of his curiosity. So he runs away so he could unravel the mysteries the world had to offer. However, he is shortly killed by an Illidari scouting party and his remains were used as resources for their crusade.

Burning Crusade Arc
Zevrad was one of the many Night Elves who sought after Illidan in order to join his crusade against the Burning Legion. It was at the Black Temple, Outland where they were forged as they faced many challenges and deaths. He did not falter in fear nor despair for his rage and thirst for vengeance drove him to continue forward in order to become a Demon Hunter. The final and most crucial step of the training required him to devour the physical heart of a demon in order to bind it's soul to his own so he can gain the abilities that a Demon posses. The ritual, however, forced him to relive some of his most tragic and suppressed memories where he witnessed the deaths of his loved ones over and over again until the same visions that Illidan saw traumatized him to point of where he too clawed his eyes out.

The process, afterward, was seen as a success resulting in the Demon being bound to his will. Little did they knew that the unthinkable occurred as the Demon Gan'arg, Mal'akor, prevailed due to his wits and cunning abilities. With no guarantee of reincarnation to the twisting nether when killed, he forced himself into servitude to Illidan and his crusade against the Burning Legion.

Several months passed and Mal'akor had gained the loyalty and trust of his fellow peers. It was during the siege of the Black Temple by the adventurers of the Alliance and Horde that Mal'akor had finally found an opportunity to desert the Illidari and seek out his fellow brethren. Unfortunately, fate would have it where he would help lead a campaign against the Legion at Marduum.

After completing his mission and returning to the Black Temple, Mal'akor saw the body of Illidan on the ground surrounded by the Wardens and Maiev Shadowsong. Mal'akor rejoiced in his mind and immediately ran across the roof as fast as he could when the battle between the Illidari and Wardens commenced. But the battle was immediately over as Maiev used some unknown ability to imprison them using the Fel coursing through their veins.

Vault of the Wardens Arc
''"Illidari, I have spent my entire life as keepers of the wicked. Thousands of years, my only solace, knowing the world was kept safe from your kind. But I would do anything to save Azeroth. Even if it means releasing you. Will you help us, Demon Hunter?" ''

- Maiev Shadowsong

Ten years have passed and the need of the Illidari was dire if the Wardens willingly freed them from their prisons. Mal'akor was one of the many Demon Hunters to have been freed and, instead of seeking revenge against the Wardens, he fought together with the Illidari and the Wardens to escape the Vault. After their escape came the time to reorganize themselves and it was at that moment that Mal'akor finally escaped and sought after his fellow brethren at the Broken Shore.

Mal'akor noticed the Fel magic piercing the sky at the Broken Shore and the epicenter of the magic is known as the Tomb of Sargeras. Inside the tomb was where Mal'akor met Gul'dan and was given the mission to once again join the ranks of the Illidari to act as an agent that will report the actions of the denizens of Azeroth.

The Broken Isles Arc
Mal'akor went off to explore the various lands at the Broken Isles where he acted as a double agent against the denizens of Azeroth by the order of Gul'dan. He had to suffer the humiliation of serving the llidari once more by obtaining artifacts and resource that they can use against his own kind. However, little did he knew, that the identity of Zevrad was becoming the dominant personality due to the longer interaction with the mortals.

It went to the point where Mal'akor was having an identity crisis and the memories of both the Night Elf and Demon was becoming indistinguishable. Mal'akor then went to find Gul'dan to report to him of his dilemma in order to, ironically, hope that he would solve his situation. When Gul'dan heard of his plea, he chuckled as he said "It would appear that your worth has reached its course, little Demon. Therefore, I have no use for you."

Gul'dan then stretched out his hand as he began to chant his warlock magic in demonic language. Sweat dripped from the back of Mal'akor and with great effort, he Fel Rushed out of the room along with Blur and Nether walking abilities as he made his way out of the city of Suramar. "Stupid," he said to himself as he should've expected to be betrayed.

He made his way to a balcony overlooking the shores of Suramar but was heavily injured with his left arm missing, his legs pierced, and excessive bleeding from his side as he made his way on a balcony overlooking the sea. "Give up, little Demon" Gul'dan said with an arrogant smirk on his face "I am giving to you what you wanted. Release from your torment."

Mal'akor knew Gul'dan's words to be utter nonsense for if he were to die then the soul of him and Zevrad will still be intertwined with each other just like the Demon back at the Fel Hammer.

Nighthold Arc
Mal'akor survived the encounter with Gul'dan by throwing himself towards the waters below and his body was recovered by wandering adventurers. The adventurers took Mal'akor to Dalaran's hospital where he recovered for several months due to being in a comatose state. It was during this time that he was having an internal struggle with the other persona, Zevrad. The aftermath resulted in Mal'akor becoming more like Zevrad that resulted in showing sincere and positive emotions.

Mal'akor awoke from his coma and what greeted him was a young Ren'dorei named Eve Ariel Emberbane and a Worgen named Michita Atiel Royal. The two were the ones who found Mal'akor on the shores of Stormheim and it could surprisingly be seen from an audience perspective that the interaction of Mal'akor was sincere and without malice.

Afterward, it can be seen that the condition of Mal'akor was in a healthy state and the missing limb on his left arm had regrown thanks to the medical techniques of the Illidari and his body's regeneration ability. The time had come for vengeance and to ally himself with the denizens of Azeroth to orchestrate an attack at Nighthold and kill that vile orc, Gul'dan for his betrayal.

The combined forces of the Horde and Alliance laid siege to the Nighthold that lead to the victory and defeat against Gul'dan. It was during the fight with the warlock that Illidan's soul was reunited with his body and, in Gul'dan's weakest state, Illidan destroyed the warlock in both body and soul. Never to be reincarnated.

Tomb of Sargeras Arc
The death of Gul'dan has now left the Tomb of Sargeras without a master but demons and other vile creatures are still pouring out of the Tomb of Sargeras. The final push to close the gate drew nigh and, with Illidan back in the fight, the Illidari was now reorganized and stronger than before.

Mal'akor and the other adventurers of the Horde and the Alliance once again pushed back the forces of the Legion all the way to Kil'jaeden himself. The adventurers were teleported to his command ship once all the threat inside the tomb were wiped out and it was there that the Demon Lord made his final stand. The adventurers were able to defeat the Demon Lord with the aid of the artifact weapons and their allies: Illidan, Velen and Khadgar.

Edis Kaelah - The Daughter
On the broken planet of Argus roamed a horrendous and grotesque creature known as the Ur’zul. Formed from the bodies and souls of the Draenei, the Broken, and members of the army of the light. Found within one of these creatures was the soul of a young Draenei child named Edis. For countless years she was trapped within the beast until an adventurer from Azeroth slew the Ur’zul freeing her from her torment.

The soul of the Draenei child guided Mal'akor to where her body was frozen in stasis. Mal'akor broke her free from her condition but her first reaction was fear as she cried “Mama? Mama! Why is it so dark? It’s scary here.... can anybody hear me? C-c-cold...”

He saw something in her that he himself knew all too well. He saw that, at this moment, she was alone and abandoned like he was. He knelt beside her as a gesture of comfort based to ease the young child's suffering. It was then that the fates of the two intertwined and what was supposed to be the salvation of the child became the destruction of Mal'akor.

For the once demon Mal'akor, a guest in Zevrad's body has now become a permanent resident resulting in the full-fledged demon to become a hybrid demon as the memories and souls of both Mal'akor and Zevrad had fully synchronized into a single personality.

Mal'akor, who is now Zevrad Stargazer, has now taken on the role of father after the events of Argus. He had renounced his position among the Illidari and has focused on the nurture and happiness of Edis.
