Rorikil

Rorikil the Houndmaster is a Worgen Hunter hailing from the dark reaches of Duskwood. He currently serves as the Shadowmaster for the Deadwind Coven, and is in command of several core hounds that he has acquired throughout the lands of Azeroth.

Early Life
Rorikil was born a human in a small farm, deep in the forests of Duskwood. He had only one sibling, an older brother by the name of Roarke, for whom he had the utmost respect and admiration. Their father, Tobias, served as a priest in Stormwind before falling in love with a beautiful huntress named Kali. The two lovers found a home in Duskwood and settled down, abandoning their respective professions to start a family.

Much of Rorikil's early childhood was spent assisting his family on the farm, performing daily chores and occasionally joining his father and brother on hunting trips. However, one fateful night, a young Rorikil was faced with his first real tragedy..

Returning from a hunting trip; Rorikil, Tobias and Roarke found their farm house aflame, black smoke bellowing out of their beloved home as men in dark leather armour fled the scene. Tobias rushed inside to rescue his wife, but his efforts were in vain, as he found her corpse beside the fireplace.

Tobias was struck down with grief, and after recuperating from the fire, rebuilt the house and spent much of his time travelling. Roarke explained to Rorikil that their father was 'on a mission to find their mother's killers', and exact his revenge on them.

In his early teens, Rorikil lived with his brother on the farm, never seeing his father and constantly wondering if he would ever leave Duskwood and discover why his mother was killed.
