Mathias Shaw

Master Mathias Shaw is the leader of the Alliance intelligence agency organisation known as 7, coordinating operations and missions from the agency's base of operations in the Old Town district of Stormwind City.

History
Mathias Shaw was raised by his grandmother Pathonia, his mother having died during an assassination mission gone bad and his father's fate unknown. His grandmother, leader of the Stormwind Assassins, didn't keep her fate from him, and at 10 years old he was introduced in the order as the youngest member, his first target being the one his mother failed to eliminate.

Sometime in his life he trained Edwin VanCleef, future Kingpin of the Defias Brotherhood, as a rogue.

At his 30th birthday, his grandmother passed control of the organisation to him, not wanting to leave an organisation in disarray for him. Since then, he's been leading successfully.

During the events of the Cataclysm, he was sighted in the Twilight Highlands, where he was involved in the discovery of the secret weapon commisionned by Deathwing for the Twilight's Hammer Clan to forge.
