Zalgrand Onyxthorn

Zalgrand is a tall, imposing Kaldorei male. Large, even among the males of his kin, he appears to be an ancient war hardened throwback to the early generations of elves. His face would be considered handsome by most standards, though marked by a small scar here or there, and covered in a short pointed beard. Long white hair, well kept, braided in places and decorated with trinkets suggested some manner of vanity, though it was all often hidden by his hood.

Often wearing a faded Ebon blade, or Argent dawn tabard, they seemed to speak more of past alliances then current obligations.

History
Zal was young, when the Kaldorei race was young. One male of a great number of female siblings, meant he was a second thought in the matriachal society. He persisted through his own strengths, and his Highborne sister's amusement.

After the sundering, he fought against the Highborne in their Cival war, turning on his few remaining sisters who were not turned into Naga. Though he felt the Highborne were in the wrong with their actions, he never fully meshed with the druidic learnings the Kaldorei adopted. Outside of taking part in wars on his people's behalf he lived the life of a recluse.

One sibling had remained close to him, and she eventualy sought to adopt the path of a demon hunter, much to Zalgrand's disagreement. When Illidan was freed, she wished to join the betrayer's forces. Being she was one of the few people the old elf cared about, he left to join her, if only to try and convince her to return to proper Kaldorei culture, before she had changed too much. They were defeated alongside Illidan's forces at Icecrown.

While Zalgrand was not killed, he was heavily wounded. The recently risen Darkfallen needed flesh and blood to feed off of, and considering so few survived the battle, he was kept prisoner, tormented and broken over several long years. When the shadow vault was assualted, he was freed. Found working, corrupted, but still alive in their forges.

Due to his corruption and knowledge of runeblades, he was trained with the Ebon blade as a standard knight, though he lacks their skill with diseases, and often avoids truly unholy based magic.

Most assume he is dead and walking about as most knights, often he does little to correct them.

Affiliations
