Edward Von Richtofen

High-Class.

That is the first thing that comes to mind when looking at this afflicted Gilnean. His robes seem flawless even though every now and then some Fel-Green fire can be seen dancing around underneath the Warlock's Robes. This man is Dr. Richtofen.

When he is in his Human form, he is chipper and approachable. He also looks to be of the Nobility. With his robes being made of expensive silks and furs, he often wears his Monocle to signify his Socio-Economic standing when in the areas not under his jurisdiction.

When in he is in his Worgen Form AND wearing his Obvious Warlock Robes, he has Flaming Fel-Green eyes. They are like the Lich King's, but they are Flaming Green as opposed to Icy Blue. He also has a shadowy black-mist-like shape due to his adventure against the Black Harvest. If Richtofen wants, he can give off a level of creepy along with his black body-mist and his flaming-green eyes that makes you feel like you are looking at the Witch King of Angmar (From Lord of the Rings). In this form, he also moves slowly and methodically. He also has an echo behind his voice like something not of this world. Recently, he recieved a pair of claw-scars over his eyes. A reward from crossing a woman he shouldn't have who was also a Worgen.

Dr. Richtofen IS of the Nobility, but he was brought up to be humble in his actions. This is reflected on everything that he does, as he frequently donates gold to the various Orphanages and charaties in the Alliance cities.

He IS a Warlock with a taste for the darkness, but he only uses it as a means to an end so that he can avoid unessecary fights and drunken brawls in the various bars in Stormwind. Plus he likes being able to light his pipe with a snap of his fingers.

Dr. Edward Richtofen currently works out of the Stormwind Stocakdes, breaking and torturing people for information and for fun. But despite his rather dark "hobby", Dr. Richotfen is a man who wants to do good in the world and has even opened up a medical wing inside his own estate. Currently, the good Doctor's hair has begun to grey on the fringes of his scalp. (YES, He IS inspired by Dr. Edward Richtofen from Call of Duty: Zombies. I loved that character and that made me make this guy.)

History
Born into a modest noble family in Tempest Keep, Dr. Edward Richtofen of the Von Richtofen family was raised to respect others and help them even if it meant dirty clothes. He was eventaully sent off to boarding school, but it was a breeze for him, as he was born mentally sharp. After that, he entered into the Gilnean Medical Department, which he loved to no end and ate up everything his professors taught him.

During the Second War, the now DR. Edward Richtofen was sent off to the front lines and was an exceptional medic, asking for (what seemed like at the time) strange herbs. But the good Doctor was also well-versed in Alchemy so as a result, he was able to have a higher success rate for healing the patients that were sent to him from the front. When the war was won and the Greymane Wall went up, Dr. Richtofen sought an apprenticeship with Krenan Aranas. To which the Alchemist agreed and Dr. Richtofen became an even more renowned Doctor.

But in secret, Dr. Richtofen had been attending secret meetings with Vitus Darkwalker and became his apprentice in the ways of Fel-Magics. This came in handy in a big way when the Worgen attacked GIlneas City. Dr. Richtofen was able to fend off more Worgen than he normally would have thanks to his knowledge of the Shadow Arts. But, like almost all Gilneans, he was eventaully overcome and bitten, giving him the Worgen curse.

But something strange happened to the good Doctor when he was afflicted with the Worgen curse...His knowledge of the Fel Arts and the Night Elven sorcery that had made the Worgen come to be to begin with merged in such a way that it made Dr. Richtofen more powerful, it gave him knowledge of a previously never-before-known dialect and it gave him the accent that he speaks with to this day. (YES, I KNOW it is a lame excuse for A Worgen speaking with a German Accent. Deal with it.)

After Dr. Richtofen was able to regain his sanity through Krenan's alchemy and later the Night Elven Ritual at Tal'doren, Richtofen helped his fellow Gilneans fight against the Forsaken during the Battle for Gilneas City. Even though they were quickly forced out via biological warfare from the Forsaken. It saddened Richtofen to leave his homeland, but he knew that he would return one day to reclaim his homeland and cast out the Forsaken invaders.

After some searching in Stormwind, Dr. Richtofen accidentally wandered into the Stormwind Stockades where he saw a Defias being "interrogated". Dr. Richtofen asked if he could help, being that he had a medical degree and could get the man to talk with much less "effort". The SI:7 members interrogating the man agreed and Dr. Richtofen was able to get the Defias member to talk within a few hours and after about a dozen or so screams. From this, Dr. Edward Richtofen was able to get into the "interrogation" and "information extraction" industry. From here, Dr. Richtofen was able to rahter quickly extract the information from the people that were brought to him and he then earned a rather impressive payroll in exchange.

This continued until about the start of the 4th War (AKA Garrosh's War). When Orcs started poruing into the prisons underneath Stormwind. So much so that Dr. Richtofen requested two extra places to help him "extract" the information that the orcs that were brought to him had. SI:7 and the Stormwind Crown agreed and Dr. Edward Richtofen was able to situate a nice little "information extraction clinic" where Scholomance had previously stood.

The good Doctor then handed it off to his old CO during the war; Commander Alexander Mecharien, who was now a Death Knight of Acherus and now needed to torture and kill to keep sane. Dr. Richtofen struck a deal with the Death Knight: I break them and you kill them at your liesure. This bargin was made and the good doctor began to regularly break Orcs and Forsaken that would be delivered to him and then he would have them transported to his old friend's "Death Knight Clinic" in Caer Darrow where the Death Knight and others like him could regularly "medicate" and go out into the world and contribute to it.

Eventaully, Dr. Edward Richtofen was able to save up enough income to hire a small army of guards and butlers before he ventured to Karazhan. Upon arriving, he found the place covered in dust and cobwebs, in addition to being completely abandoned, not even a single spirit wandered the halls.

Dr. Richtofen's staff was able to quickly fix and clean up the old tower before Dr. Richtofen made the place his home, which it still is to this day. Soon after the 4th War began to grow worse, however, Dr. Richtofen began to hear whispers of a being of untold power on an island that crackled with lightning. Dr. Richtofen could not resist these tales as he quickly put on his best combat robe and headed out to face the newly awakened "Thunder King".

Upon landing at the Thunder King's island, Dr. Richtofen quickly set out to study the strange flora and fauna of this island. It wasn't long after this that he came across a mysterious tome in one of the Thunder King's coffers. Upon bringing it back to his teachers beneath Stormwind, he discovered the council of "The Black Harvest". After learning of their venture to outland, the good Doctor headed out to the Black Temple. After passing the initial traps and guards with ease, Richtofen eventaully found himself at the top of the temple. What followed was a battle that Dr. Rictofen had never fought before but he was able to pull through.

He was rewrded for his adventure by being allowed to taste the power that the leader of the Black Harvest had found in the Twisting Nether. But Dr. Richtofen "accidentally" drained a little too much power from the Demonized warlock and now he has the form that you can usually see him in before he decides to spark up conversation with someone. With the re-opening of the Dark Portal, Dr. Edward Richtofen now seeks to drain the power that Gul'dan, the most powerful Warlock that had ever existed, into his own form and become as powerful as Him.

Recently though, Dr. Richtofen has become married to a Draenei who is, in his own words, "sweeter than a strawberry.". He has decided to put his venture on pause for the moment so that he can raise their child that she is Pregnant with.
