Lasha'theda Everglory, often referred to as Lasha, is a mechanized High Elf Engineer of the Silver Covenant and the Science United Network of the Silverguard Often dubbed "the Mushroom Farmer" for her fascination with particularly high-grade explosives, she is very passionate about her craft in every facet she may find interest. Even after circumstances on Mechagon left her partially mechanized, she has since embraced her fusion with technology with the intentions of improving upon it as best as she can.

Background

For most of her life, Lasha was a prospector of minerals and ores, with a trade in understanding the value and quality of such materials on behalf of artisans such as jewelers and blacksmiths. She liked to involve herself directly in mining operations and had something of a hobby in fashioning minor jewelry herself in her spare time. Though her services were rather strictly confined to Quel'thalas and usually for wealthy buyers, her clientele broadened significantly with both the Second War and the Third War.

Following the Fall, Lasha took to more freelance work, usually going where people were willing to pay for capable muscle or a keen eye. After years of travel, Lasha found herself grounded once again with the founding of the Silver Covenant, which she was more than willing to join, finding some peace in being among kin once again. With the Silver Covenant's operations in the north, word eventually reached Lasha of the incredible findings across Northrend, particular in the far corners of the enigmatic Storm Peaks.

Lasha booked passage to the Storm Peaks to arrive in the goblin town of K3 where she collaborated with the goblins' research on Saronite. At the time however, the adverse effects of Saronite exposure had yet to be fully documented, and while Lasha did not succumb to insanity, it was noted that she experienced deviations in her behavior that have led some to believe her mind to be addled by the Saronite. The changes were ultimately were a more "open" state of mind, driven by much more creative, if reckless, thought, which was considered to be a net positive that had just rubbed off from the more adventurous goblins.

Nevertheless, the elf carried on, and with a new interest: engineering. The goblins' passion for their mechanical craft rubbed off on the elf and she took to communities such as New Tinkertown, Gadgetzan, Ironforge, and more, to get a better grasp on engineering. Taking up the profession for herself, she eventually was able to begin putting aside her prospecting career in favor something new as an engineer. She assisted primarily in weapons development for the Alliance and some smaller technological organizations, such as Steelcove Robotics.

The Alliance-Horde War and onwards proved to be a point of interest for Lasha as it was the first time she began to truly consider the scope of high-power weapons. Stories of the goblin nukes used in the Hillsbrad Foothills, the Bombing of Theramore, and the development of the N.U.K.U.L.A.R. and A.T.O.M.I.K. warheads in later conflicts all furthered Lasha's passions and obsessions. The growing stakes of Azeroth's fights led Lasha to see a certain salvation in the force and fire of such overwhelming weapons, leading her to push for their more lenient use in battle.

Politically, she grew to resent the tyrannical rule of Garrosh Hellscream and became outspoken about her beliefs in true democracy. When Mechagon was discovered and the people's plight against their king was realized, Lasha was quick to join the movement to free the Mechagnomes from their king's dictatorship. Though Mechagon was a boon for Lasha's love of engineering, it also proved costly. At one point she was captured by Mechagnome forces, and lumped into an experimental program to study the effects of mechanization on other races. Though King Mechagon sought to mechanize only his gnomish brethren, curiosity led to many other prisoners of war being partially mechanized to study the effect.

Lasha was one such prisoner, and her body was partially mechanized. Her arms were replaced with metal prosthetics, and her eyes taken in favor of ocular implants. Though she and the others were freed, little could be done to restore her previously elven state. It was a time of adjustment for Lasha, with no small amount of difficulty as she felt regular pains from her missing arms and struggled to adapt. However, given time, the Rustbolt helped her to appreciate her mechanization and embrace it in full, learning to improve upon her transformation at any given opportunity.
