Zalphar the Green



A scholar of the old Dalaran that spent most of his time studying in the forests, rather than the libraries. He found joy and comfort with the beauty of the forest life than the companionship of his competitive scholars. It was because of this behavior, that the citizens of Dalaran began to refer to him as 'the Green Wizard' (Hedge Wizard). Zalphar is often seen roaming the forests of Azeroth, but on occasion he makes his way to the major cities.

Biography
When news  of the plague first swept across Lordaeron, Zalphar left Dalaran and fled to the Island of Kul Tiras to wait out the plague. After some time, Zalphar recieved word that Jaina Proudmoore and her father were sailing west to the lands of Kalimdor to escape the disease and required several ships from Kul Tiras to join them; Zalphar followed.

After joining the newly established foothold of Theramore, Zalphar was put on assignment to explore the northern part of the continent. It was there where Zalphar's exploration party was ambushed and killed by Murlocs. Zalphar escapes, only to then be captured and taken prisioner by a Kaldorei hunting party. The Kaldorei incapacitate Zalphar, resulting in impaired memory loss.

While being escorted up to Kaldorei territory, the same Murloc tribe catches up and ambushes them. Though outnumbered, Zalphar aids his captors to fend off the Murlocs once more. The Kaldorei are moved by Zalphar's actions and allow his release. They then gifted Zalphar a green, wide-brimmed, pointy hat based on his description of the Dalaran clothing style.

After his release and still suffering from memory loss, Zalphar wondered Northern Kalimdor for quite some time until he met and joined  a diverse group of carnies of The Darkmoon Faire. Zalphar served as an illusionist for the Faire until all of his memory had finally returned. Zalphar returned to Theramore and then ventured to the new location of Dalaran in Northrend where he finally joined the order of the Magus Senate of Dalaran and now serves as an Ambassador to the Kaldorei of Darnassus.

Description
Zalphar appears old with long hair and a gray-white beard that extends to the bottom of his chest. He wears a pointy green hat that was given to him by the Kaldorei and wields an enchanted staff fashioned from a young tree sapling. This 'tree sapling' doesn't whither as long as Zalphar is it's owner.

Zalphar is often seen traveling on his hippogryph, Theadrus, or his steed, Lorthus.
