Snarlsnout

Snarlsnout is a Quilboar Scout in the employ of the Alliance forces.

Appearance
Snarl has the typical appearance of a quilboar. Long snout, large tusks, bristles along his neck. His lower left tusk is missing and the lower right tusk is charred black. The two upper tusks are bleached yellow color. His armor, with the sole exception of his pants & weapons, appear to be Horde-crafted in origin (likely due to his tribe's penchant to steal from Horde supply caravans). His twin blades appear to be carved rocks that have been shaped & sharpened to a deadly point, each having a unique staining that can be attributed to blood from fallen enemies.

History
Snarlsnout was born in the years before the arrival of the Orcs in what would become Durotar. The Razormane Grounds were his birthplace along with several other siblings. However, by the time he was an adult among his tribe, Durotar had been settled by the Orcs. Along with other members of his tribe, including his brother Croc-Head, Snarlsnout would engage in raids on the Horde's supply caravans. As the Razormane had been crushed time & again in direct battle, Snarlsnout moved towards a combat style of ambush tactics & trickery.

In the midst of the Horde's civil war that brought the Darkspear to fight against Warchief Garrosh Hellscream's forces, Snarl & the Razormane hoped to reclaim lost territory in the southern Barrens after the disastrous Cataclysm brought instability to the region. Ultimately, fate would conspire to see Snarlsnout fighting alongside Alliance forces against rival Quilboar & the Horde. His life was saved twice by the Alliance forces at Northwatch. His mate, Mazgia, a shamaness and thornweaver, told him of visions of Goldrinn & Agamaggan fighting alongside one another against a large & vile scorpion. Several among the Razormane took these visions as a sign of change that must come for their people to survive.

The knowledge of Goldrinn's blessing of the Alliance forces' military leader, King Varian Wrynn, and of 'Goldrinn's pups', the Worgen, fighting with the Alliance pushed a faction of the Razormane to send an emissary to train with the Alliance and learn their ways. Snarlsnout was chosen, as his life was saved on two different occasions by them. Utter disbelief among the Alliance commander at the reclaimed Northwatch almost lead to his death. But ultimately, it was decided he would be allowed to train with the Alliance in exchange for mutual avoidance in the Southern Barrens.

Snarlsnout was soon sent by boat to Stormwind City and SI:7, the Rogue training network headquarters for humanity & much of the Alliance. Since this initial meeting with Mathias Shaw & others, he has been jokingly called an ambassador of the Quilboar. Snarl himself, however, believes the word is a symbol of praise & has taken some pride in being called such. Embracing the way of the Rogue, Snarl has vowed to become a stronger fighter to face down the Horde. He holds no qualms about this 'dishonorable' lifestyle that many in his tribe oppose, as he views his enemies, primarily the Orcs but also the rest of the Horde, as honorless squatters who deserve a blade in their backs for their terror & brutality against the Quilboar & especially against the Razormane.
