Adriani Shadowlight

"I am well aware that nothing comes free. Name your price and I will name mine." Adriani Shadowlight is an assassin-for-hire and a Warden of the Night Watch Militia in eastern Duskwood.

Life and History
Very little is known about Adriani up until a few years ago. She admits to having grown up in Stormwind, though no one knows who her parents were. Her speech, however, is always proper and bears a hint of pride, as one would expect from a child born and raised among nobility. What is known is that Adriani first appeared on the scene three years ago as a young and talented, if inexperienced, thief. She was 15 years old. Since then, Adriani has reportedly moved from minor thefts to training in assassination. She claims to take on any job if the price is right, though so far no one has admitted to actually hiring her. In general, the young woman stayed in the shadows and was recognized by very few people until just a month ago, when Lord-Captain Falthrian recruited her to join the Night Watch Militia in eastern Duskwood.

Upon recruitment into the Night Watch Militia, Adriani began to focus on her training in earnest. Her talents became skilled enough that she earned the attention of Lord Gordahn Winters, a minor lord from Stormwind. Lord Winters appraoched the 7 to request that Adriani be arrested but they refused, stating that they had no evidence that she had yet committed a crime worthy of their attention - especially given that she had been training under a couple of their own rogues. So, instead, Lord Winters placed his own bounty on the young assassin.

A threat has appeared in our midst that I would see handled quickly, before it can cause us undue harm. The woman known as Adriani is a self-proclaimed assassin-for-hire. If anyone is willing and capable of bringing this murderer to justice, I will offer 500 gold for the delivery of this woman, alive and in chains. She must be alive! Her sins must be verified for justice to truly be delivered.

Signed, Lord Gordahn Winters' ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

It wasn't long before someone stepped forward to claim their reward. A young Keldorei named Naralex tricked Adriani into walking into one of his own traps (though her lack of surprise suggests she might have been expecting it), and delivered her to Stormwind, handing her over to the guards. Adriani was taken to the Stockades, but fortunately for her (and unfortunately for Lord Winters), she was very abruptly freed when another member of the Night Watch Militia, a priest named Fallindor, brought evidence to the guards indicating that she had been doing work for the SI:7 and should be released. Before leaving, Adriani convinced the guards to keep the details of her capture and release quiet, indicating that she did not want Lord Winters to be publicly ambarrased by the simply misunderstanding. The next night, she as back in Duskwood, performing her duties in protecting the woods around Darkshire.

Since that time, the bounty has disappeared from the Hero's Call board in Stormwind, and Adriani continues to devote her skills to purging Duskwood of the undead and the feral worgen. During one particular attack by the feral worgen that inhabit Duskwood, Adriani's two companions, Lord-Captain Falthrian and Watchman Gunnand, were greviously wounded. Two days later, after Gunnand took his vengeance on the worgen that had attacked himself and the Lord-Captain, Adriani was given the chore of helping Watchman Allse care for the small worgen pup that had been consequently orphaned. Though not a worgen herself, Adriani did her best to help care for and protect the small pup, and she can almost always be found spending her nights in the small house near Ravenhill Cemetary, keeping guard while Allse gets some well-deserved rest.
