Westel Firewing

Westel Firewing: a man who loves nature, dangerous women, and pie.

Appearance
Standing at about average height for a Sin'dorei, Westel is 6'3" tall with long, muscular legs and toned arms.  He has a slimmer build all together,  reminiscent of someone who spends a lot of time running.  He seems very aware of his body and his movements; his steps are light and graceful.  However in the city he appears rather tense.

The Ranger does not seem to put a lot of stock in personal appearance; his hair is in a constant state of disarray, looking as if he has just rolled out of bed. One might assume he’s never used a comb in his life. Dark stubble usually dusts his cheeks and jaw, grown out at his chin in what could be a very stylish goatee if he would just tend to it.

Thirteen earrings adorn his ears, six in his right and seven in his left. They jingle softly when he moves his head or his ears flicker.

He has four tattoos, the most obvious of which being the dark red runic markings that cover his left side from shoulder to foot. Usually only the marks on his left arm are visible. On his right arm, the name ‘Anais’ is inked just below the shoulder, and a capital ‘A’ marks the underside of his wrist. A beautifully illustrated black wolf is on his back right shoulder.

He wears a ruby encrusted signet ring on his right index finger.

Brief History
Westel Sorrelon was the third son of Lord Magister Caloneth and Lady Cersei Sorrelon of Silvermoon, and decidedly the black sheep of that family. As a boy Westel was never able to compete with his brothers as a warrior or a magister, and feeling (and frequently treated) like an outcast in his own family he ran away to join the Rangers as an archer at a young age. There he met and apprenticed under the charismatic Tyren Firewing, a skilled woodsman with a charmingly misanthropic personality similar to Westel's, and due to his natural talent and hard work he quickly rose in the Farstriders' ranks. Although Tyren was killed in action only a few years after Westel joined the Rangers, his influence affects Westel to this day.

Still Westel maintained at least minimal contact with his family until approximately fifteen years ago, when certain clues led him to confront his mother about the secret she had kept from him for over a century: Caloneth Sorrelon was not his father at all. Westel's mother Cersei had had an affair with Tyren Firewing years before, and Westel was the result. Angry at the lie -- especially as the truth came out too late for Tyren as well -- Westel stormed out on his mother and has rarely spoken to her since.

After the fall of Silvermoon and the destruction of the Sunwell Westel fell into a pattern of alcohol and drug abuse, taking what odd and sometimes unsavory jobs he could to feed himself and his habit. He had many affairs of his own, including an encounter with a fellow junkie in a Brill graveyard that would result in the birth of a daughter. Her mother's pettiness and his own addictions kept Westel from participating in Anais' life fully for the first year or two, but when his ex died unexpectedly Westel suddenly found himself a single father. While not exactly capable of rising to the occasion at the time per se (he more sort of stumbled and clambered his way up) Westel was devoted to doing right by Anais, and she was and remains the apple of his eye today.

During this time he also met, fell headlong in love with, and married a woman by the name of Ashelyen. But she left him -- not once, but twice -- for Annexious Bloodfury. This may or may not have been a major influence upon Westel's hatred of Bloodfury's organization the Will of Dath'remar -- the undermining of which first put him into contact with Lady Astoreth Duskflame.

To make ends meet during this time Westel joined an organization headed by his then part-time lover Sejia Stillhart, working as an escort for shipments of "rare and exotic goods" -- only later discovering that those goods were drugs and slaves. During this time he came into frequent conflict with a little rogue named Kuvasei, who was Westel's rival for Sejia's affection and frequently antagonized him.
