Endastre Sunfury

History
Endastre Sunfury is a Sin'dorei Demon Hunter once of noble blood, though with the whole of her family lost one dark, unfortgettable day in Quel'Thalas, she's broken all ties to her past, down to her surname itself, which represents the Illidari woman she is, and not the girl she had been.

Endaste's former life was of privilege though if restraint. Her traditional minded family placed much on their interpretation of properness and convention, seeing much as beyond the proper realm of a female noblewoman. From a line known for its magics, she was regardless tutorted and trained to a degree of vigor in the arcane, something she once thought a waste of time but after facing then embracing combat, has recognized its utility, if of course lacking the raw power of the fel energies she commands as a demon hunter.

Told to run by her brother as the dark advance approached their lands, Endastre watched in horror as he then her parents and the rest of her kin were systematically slaughtered and desicrated by the scourge. Rage as she had never known before filled her, and there was none to call it improper. Instead of continuing to run, Endastre used what magic she'd learned to turn invisible and creep back onto her lands, taking up her brother Kal'renar's blade and lashing out in retribution at the scourge monstrosity that took her mother Karissa. A brief and hollow victory, but Endastre would say her path to whom she is today started that moment.

Forced soon into retreat, Endastre initially welcomed the apparent strength of Prince Kael'Thalas in rallying the survivors, posing as one of more experience she offered the new Sun King her sword and spells in return for the vengeanc which was promised.

Feeling the dreadful pains of what she'd soon learn to be arcane withdrawl, her rage sustained her through the fight beside the naga where her growing magical ability was noted. She took unease to imprisonment, though fortunately this time would be brief, with Lady Vashj soon leading the way to what would be her home, the shattered Outland.

From Lady to Hunter
Assigned to a unit in Shadowmoon Valley, Endastre came to admire the tenacity of Illidan Stormrage, eagerly learning to absorb the energy of vanquished foes and grow stronger, she was keenly aware the teaching was that of Illidan's and not Rommath as was told to the others. She kept quiet for the time, but when word of Kael's betrayal to the Legion she sought desperately to destroy, the damage he could unleash on her beloved Quel'halas, she recognized the fire in Lord Illidan to sacrifice everything to protect, she pledged herself and remained among the Sunfury, beginning her training as a demon hunter.

Endastre came to enjoy her grueling training, and when her time came for the First Hunt and Ritual of binding, she'd a certain attraction to the Shivarra, their ways not as brutish as other demons, but cunning magically, with blades, and charm, chose to bind one of the creatures, training under Varedis Felsoul, though holding always in her a fire to use the power she was seeking to protect her homeland Quel'Thalas from any further horrors, knowing its leadership to be incapable of doing so.

She like many speaks not of her vision and trials, though returned with her natural eyes removed and green tattoos coarsing through her body, the powers of the Shivarra she'd bound, Kavrylin it called itself, coarsed through her, and she embraced the increased physical and magical strength, developing both increased zealotry and conviction though not like many for the teachings of the increasingly unstable Illidan, though she shared his zeal for the utter destruction of the Legion, it was the protection and salvation of Quel'Thalas which drove her sacrifices. A subtle, often sarcastic side somewhat rare among demon hunters.

Matron of Felicity
Endastre eagerly set out to prove herself when her Shan'do was confident of her control of the beast within, meditating several hours a day became a habit she keeps to the day and sees as vital to resisting the subtle embrace of the shivarra within.

Eagerly taking on dangerous tasks few expected to return from, Endastre first became known for the defeat of the Pit Overlord Aggron. Of a team of two dozen elves, only four returned from the shattered Legion world, Endastre among them, and she was assigned command of a far more complex challenge,  the loathsome Dreadlord Var'natir whom had been preying on her less trained kin.

Knowing the Nathrezim to be cunning foes, Endastre hatched an elaborate plot to lure the demon, culminating in allowing the demonic essence within her to grow dangerously wild, when the Dreadlord fell upon her, it sensed the inner strife and attempted to recruit her as felsworn. Walking the boundary of madness, Endastre played along, allowing the Dreadlord to believe itself succeeding, as her allies quietly positioned themselves. As Val'natir reeled backwards from the attack, it was Endastre's glaive to its heart that finished the being, though she'd no desire to walk as close to insanity again, she well appreciated the danger, spending several weeks in meditation afterwards to regain proper control.

Some of Endastre's noble past was seen in her time at the temple, developing a fondness for hookah and massages from servants after hard fought battles, she found that time relaxing with her ally Erissa and others she'd grown to know well was just as important in keeping control as anything else. Despite often going without a blindfold, she demonstrates more social graces than the typical demon hunter, and advanced her knowledge of the arcane under High Nethermancer Zerevor as each slain demon added to her fel might.

Vault of the Wardens
Developing a versatile set of skills and a burning hunger, she thought the day of their capture like any other. Relishing in the feast of demonic energy, she was utterly shocked to see Lord Illidan slain upon their return home, further shocked to be trapped helpless by some sort of warden magic.

Not knowing the length of her imprisonment, Endastre remained vigilant and focused often on the lush meadow of Eversong, hearing only her own thoughts, her time in meditation proving useful in passing the long years.

When the vault was shattered, her faith had been reaffirmed, and though weakened, she fought with a fury that reminded her of the day she'd first picked up a blade. Reaching an island near Quel'Thalas, she's dubious as to how her people will receive them, but will stop at nothing to protect her home from the Legion.

The Diaboli
The highest ranked among the Sin'dorei she'd served and escaped with, Perilion Emberstorm, shared her desire to reach Quel'Thalas as soon as possible, setting up a small base on an island offshore, the Island of Sacrifice as it came to be known.

He spoke of a potential contact with a Sin'dorei Lord inside the city, and the elves grew impatient on the island, eager to see their beloved home once more as more than a faint view of Eversong's lush wood.

When a Legion attack was launched in Eversong, targetting the strategic Runestone Shan'dor, the Illidari regardless moved into the forest to face the threat. After a bloody battle to repel the Legion forces, they made contact with Tendanel Dawnlight II, Sovereign of the Dominion of the Sun.

He held little trust for the Illidari, nor they for him, but he accepted their service, and while many held reservations, Endastre understood well the way of nobles, and the importance of allowing his ego to be sated, the perception he's control, to work their way back into Sin'dorei society.

Endastre visited Silvermoon for the first time since it's destruction shortly after, to an unkind reception from some but most said nothing, and none grew hostile. Endastre still holds a measure of faith that Illidan may yet return with a better grasp of himself, but is pleased to be using her sacrifice at last for the defense of Quel'Thalas if she's skeptical of her new allies, she views playing along as necessary, though of course knowing only to speak as much among others of the Diaboli.
