Falcko Arturia

History
Falcko Arturia was the only surviving bastard of Yanzee Red. However, her tale does not intertwine with her parents’ past until much later. Falcko Arturia was orphaned on the steps of the military ward in Ironforge and found by the gnome, Professor Lucendious Tick-Tock-Dally. The whereabouts of her birth is uncertain, though Lucendious became her adoptive mother and mentor… for not very long.

Originally, Lucendious sought to teach Falcko her priestly ways, although Falcko’s instinctive brutality came out in a brawl amongst several dwarves at the age of fourteen. Needless to say, the dwarves were impressed by her fighting and from then on Falcko worked and trained with warriors of Ironforge. Though, Falcko found it difficult to be matched by opponents half her height; she knew that she would be fighting bigger enemies soon enough.

At sixteen Falcko was recruited as a personal hired sword for Lord Arthur Ghostfeld. Originally, the Lord thought that the reckless girl would be killed within a fortnight after hiring her, however, Falcko proved to be both a brutal and merciless assassin. She was by no means stealthy with her killings and seemed to murder everyone in her path. She was coined the name, “The Hound”, for her vicious behavior and obedience towards only Lord Ghostfeld.

In the midst of war, Falcko was nowhere to be seen, though she had gained a reputation amongst the Stormwind Guard. By this time, Falcko and Lord Arthur Ghostfeld’s relationship had been rocky and full of fighting and moral questioning. The Hound had been obedient doing her usual work, though found it odd when she was requested to find ancient relics and kidnap beings for Lord Ghostfeld. She was aware of her Lord’s work as a warlock, though became disturbed after her participation within a ritual to summon a demon which involved her drinking demonic blood. Tired of his Hound’s work, Ghostfeld had exposed Falcko’s whereabouts and the Stormwind Guard arrested her immediately. Ghostfeld hoped that Falcko would be executed. Fortunately, Lucendious was able to bail her daughter out with some coin and on one more condition: that she joined the guard.

Not only was the Hound a notorious killer, but also a liar. She fled Stormwind in search of Ghostfeld to have her revenge. It is entirely unclear what had happened exactly, though the Hound had murdered her master and saved an entire village from being sacrificed and ravaged by demons. The scar upon her right eye and three claw mark slash on her left arm are reminders of that night.

The Hound’s name was cleared and a new leaf had been turned over. She ceased her mercenary work and became more involved with expeditions in Northrend, Uldum, and Pandaria. Her master had cursed Falcko after his death. Falcko suffered much; she heard voices, woke up with cuts and scratches, and saw demons that were not actually there. Hence why she drank often; since she could not find a cure she found that being drunkard silenced the voices or allowed her to tolerate them. Falcko was remarkably passionate about treasure, although these expeditions held another purpose of finding a cure.

However to Falcko’s dismay she would never find a cure and her curse would only worsen upon entering Pandaria. Falcko and her crew of dwarves were one of the first groups to set foot in Pandaria. They explored much of the land and their goal was to try and understand more of the sha’s power. Unfortunately, chaos emerged when Falcko was taken over by the sha after the violent removal of her left arm. The Hound massacred her entire group and a new three clawed arm was animated forged of black scales and fel energy. Falcko was put on trial and nearly executed in Pandaria; citizens feared that the sha still manifested inside Falcko due to the formation of her arm. However, it was ruled out that this was not actually a sha manifestation, but the workings of the demonic curse that Falcko was plagued with after her master’s death.

At the age of 28 Falcko had quit her expeditions and had to deal with her corrupted arm. At all times Falcko carried with her two flasks: one of bronze filled usually with whiskey and another steel skull flask filled with demonic blood. She found that drinking the blood allowed her to control her arm better, though she had developed an addiction. Falcko was not a demon hunter, though developed many of the symptoms and powers of one. She was adorned in plate and did not fight with curved blades, but a hammer. She could sense and smell demonic energies and her left corrupted arm was stuck in a stage of Metamorphosis.

Progressively, things got better and Falcko found a home within the Grand Alliance Vanguard. Surprisingly, she worked her way up the ranks to Captain and eventually Marshal. The Hound received a more formal education and political experience from the Grand Alliance Vanguard. She made many allies and married the former Grand Marshal, Miles Debron. For a month, both Miles Debron and Falcko Arturia disappeared. Debron has yet to be found and is presumed dead, however, Falcko Arturia still roams Stormwind lacking in memories of her former life.

Family Falcko’s parents are unknown, however, there have been rumors circulating that she is the bastard child of Yanzee Red. Yanzee Red’s mangled corpse was found on the outskirts of Kharanos. She had been stabbed repeatedly along with her child and their corpses were left for the wolves. Her body was discovered a month after Falcko was found on the steps of the military ward.

Yanzee Red and Sir Edmund Glyde had a romantic relationship, however, Glyde claimed that he never slept with twelfth child of the Red estate and that the mangled child was not his own. He had been a prime suspect of the murder, however, his name was cleared for the number of alibies he had to prove his innocence.

As Falcko advanced in the political scene beings began to notice the odd resemblance between her and Sir Edmund Glyde. 

Falcko and Miles Debron had no children.
