Inkorkast

Inkorkast is a San'layn of the Undead Scourge who currently operates in Northrend to control the Drakhyld Clan.

Undead Scourge
Inkorkast was originally one of many Blood Elves serving under Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider in an assault on the Icecrown. He fell in battle, and was raised as San'layn by the Lich King into the ranks of the Scourge.

He operated where he was needed, originally serving in the Temple City of En'kilah until he was later recalled to Icecrown Citadel. Inkorkast managed to survive by the use of a blood simulacrum to fake his death in battle, escaping the siege. He later reconvened with an old cohort and friend, Alytheria Bloodmoon.

Gathering Tribute
In the years following the fall of the Lich King, Inkorkast and Alytheria struggled to survive with their newfound free will. Though both were committed to the cause of the Scourge, the original Lich King's mission had been stalled indefinitely with the ascension of Bolvar Fordragon to the Frozen Throne. As they did their best to to sate their thirst for blood, the two San'layn lost faith in their potential to return to power through the Scourge.

Alytheria and Inkorkast began to travel, under the guise of a living pair. They both attempted to return to the world, yet felt discouraged by the suspicion that hatred for the Scourge - San'layn included - continued to linger. The two coped with their loneliness by instead pursuing knowledge, seeking to learn more of their affliction.

They grew curious, wondering why the Lich King had raised them as undead cursed with a thirst for blood, rather than creating Death Knights from the dead Blood Elves. They sought to understand their curse, and learned of the existence of vampyr, and a hunger that predated the Scourge by centuries, possibly millennia. The revelation fascinated them, driving them to learn more.

In the process of their search for enlightenment, they returned to the Borean Tundra to uncover an ancient reliquary of apocryphal knowledge collected by the Scourge in its formative days, thanks to the Cult of the Damned. The purpose was to collect knowledge on the dark magics the Scourge wielded, including Necromancy and Blood Magic. Within the reliquary they learned of a vampyr legend known as Arbitian, and the tombs in which he slept.

They were awed by the power Arbitian was said to wield, and saw in the legend a chance to fill the void caused by the Lich King's death, as well as a cure to their loneliness. Inkorkast and Alytheria resolved to one day awaken Arbitian, hoping to revive the ancient society he was said to lead and no longer wander the world as two lone San'layn. In order to accomplish this, they both agreed they would require tribute, a power base to offer to Arbitian to permit him to rose to power.

For the first time, Inkorkast and Alytheria separated. With the Burning Legion's invasion, Alytheria saw a desperation within the Horde that would permit her to join their ranks, especially after Sylvanas Windrunner arose to the position of Warchief. Inkorkast, meanwhile, stayed in Northrend to exploit the Vrykul who had served the Lich King. He discovered the Drakhyld Clan and proceeded to twist it to its will, using the Thane Voldaf as a puppet to control the clan and begin drawing in as many Vrykul as he could into their ranks.

A brief complication arose when two Mag'har Orcs from the Horde, Goremah Lightbreaker and Gezra, visited the Howling Fjord and ended up meeting the Drakhyld. Uncovering Inkorkast's conspiracy, Gezra slew Voldaf in honorable combat. Inkorkast dispatched Gezra with ease only to come to blows with Goremah, who forced him to use a blood simulacrum to feign his death once again.

Goremah returned to the Horde, while Gezra stayed with the Drakhyld to help them return to their roots. However, Inkorkast was still alive, and soon seized the Drakhyld within his clutches once again.
