"So what if I can't use the light? Undead burn just as easily."

- Melnok's comment to a paladin about his effectiveness against undead.

Melnok is a forsaken mage who worked with Argent Dawn. Melnok calls himself a 'spellblade', mixing spells in with his sword attacks. He prefers to meld his arcane spells around his sword, while raining fire down upon his foes.

Biography

Melnok was raised in the farms outside Dalaran, his father trained him in the way of the sword to help in the local militia. He was proud of his heritage, and was shocked to be found that he had a talent for magic. Trained to be a mage, he branched out, trying to craft a way to use what his father had taught him, and the spells he had learned at the same time. He had almost perfected the style before his death, but fortune was not with him, as he died during the the attacks on Dalaran by the Scourge. The return of his will has left him without many of his memories, so his style is currently incomplete.

After being freed, he found himself in a constant fight for survival. He found himself under allied with those he once thought enemies, and under attack by the very race he once belonged to. He fought under Executor Zygand in Brill for a time, battling the Scarlet Crusade in the area, going so far as to rescue his fellow forsaken from the flame. Showing promise he was sent to aid in the defenses of the Bulwark. It was there that he first came into contact with the Argent Dawn. At first distrustful of the living, they earned his trust after coming to his aid when he came under assault by Scarlets in the plaugelands. After a few more ventures into the Plaugelands with them in toe, he found himself wearing one of the tabards himself.

He continued to serve at the Bulwark, burning away the Scourge with the help of the paladins of the Dawn. He served until being called back into the service of the Dark Lady. Melnok found himself whisked away to serve as a guard in Venomspite. He served there for a time before the tragic events of Wrathgate, where he suddenly left his post. He appeared later in Dalaran, having found his way to the Underbelly. He began to hone his skills in the sewers, glad to be out of earshot of a rambling undead that complained about the 'ale being too weak'. Melnok bettered his skills and fought alongside Argent Crusaders in Icecrown, fighting as a champion of Undercity in the tourneys. The forsaken fought alongside the champions during the battle of Icecrown, losing his trusted blade during the battle, replacing it with a rune encrusted blade he found during the siege.

After the fall of the Lich King, Melnok returned to the Undercity to again serve with the Deathguards. He provided magical support to the Forsaken armies as they invaded Gilneas. Afterwords, he began traveling the world searching for artifacts to bring back to strengthen his people.

Abilities

Melnok is a self titled Spellblade, a blend of magics and swordplay. He focuses on arcane and fire magics, having found frost spells to be ineffective against undead. He prefers to place his arcane spells into his sword, where his fire spells have a habit to burn him while in the blade. While he doesn't use frost for offense, he wears his frost magics like armor. But because of his memory loss, his style sometimes can backfire on him, the spells jumping at him instead of his foes. His sword skills, while strong, suffer from his weakened strength.

Personality

Melnok is a nice enough individual, if a bit cold to living(Note that this does not apply to those of the Argent Crusade, whom he sees as brothers in arms.). He prides himself on being a calm in times of stress, although that calmness comes off with him finding humor in situations. Melnok is loyal to those that have earned his trust, willing to put his body on the line for his allies. His dislike of living is dwarfed by his hate of the Scourge, whom he attempts to obliterate any time he comes across. It's because of this hate of the Scourge that he distrusts the Knights of the Ebon Blade.

Quotes

• "They can't get back up if they're cinders..." (Said to fellow Deathguards of the Bulwark about undead)
• "Oh come on, I just got this sword during my last life!" (Stated after breaking his sword against Scourge)
• "Come on I'm a Spellblade! what do you mean that doesn't exist?" (Argument with Dalaran Magi)

Status	Alive
Companion(s)	Dragtai(Imp), Flamehoof(Felsteed), Immolatus(Infernal)

"Chaos, it is the only absolute in this world and all others. A friend of mine taught me that. That is why I serve the Legion"

— Koren Vile

Koren is a warlock in the service of the Legion. He was in the service of the Alliance for many years, but joined the Legion after being promised test subjects for his experiments by a fellow servant of the Legion. Although allowed to experiment on the lesser cultist, he yearns for the day that he will be free to chose from all the enslaved races.

Biography

Koren was born an raised in Dalaran years before the First War. Raised to be a mage, he abandoned his normal training in favor of fel magics. His training came to a stop however came to an end just after he had mastered the ability to summon his first demon, the Imp known as Dragtai. After causing an incident with other students, he left the city, leaving behind his family and life.

Koren appeared years later in army records as a medic serving in the Alliance during the Third War. He had become an accomplished doctor in his time away from the magic city, most traces of his training had apparently left him. Records show that he was forced to retire from the service after several suspicious bodies kept on appearing around Koren. Again he disappeared into the shadows of history.

He later appeared in Stormwind after the war, serving as a free doctor to the poor in the city. He was forced to leave after, again, several incidents began to be involved around him. After one too many chopped up bodies were found in near his clinic, the guards stormed it only to find Koren gone.

Koren later appeared in alongside Burning Legion forces in Felwood, his warlock powers restored, and his body apparently aged by some form of magic. When asked about it his change in age, Koren only stated that demons must like the youth of the world.

Koren's metamorphosis

Abilities

Koren's warlock abilities are limited in variety, consisting of only fire spells, a crippling curse, and his ability to drain souls from his victims. His skills at summoning demons is exclusive to his imp Dragtai, the felsteed Flamehoof, and the infernal Immolatus. Koren's lack of magical power is covered by his vast knowledge of medicine and alchemy, and after experimenting on his own body he had built up immunities to some toxins and poisons. He wields a sword in close combat that drains the life of his foes and pulls it into himself.

He has a metamorphosis of sorts, but instead of the regular from most warlocks take, he imitates an infernal in form, his face becoming a mocking burning skull. While in this form his fire abilities are empowered, but he suffers from a weakness to water and extreme cold.

A fantastic doctor, can be a bit chop happy if not reminded that his goal is to save the life of his patients. While undercover, he becomes more reliant on his alchemy for survival, and fights with his sword. He uses his alchemy to change his looks, dying his hair and making himself appear younger.

Personality

Koren is friendly for a servant of the Burning Legion, as he doesn't have the whole 'burn the world' mentality of his fellow cultists, and generally well liked. He has a cruel sense of humor when it comes to pain, treating wounds in rather painful ways, such as cauterizing wounds when a simple bandage would have done the job. While calm in camp, he is utterly brutal to those that would stand in the way of his friends and goals.

Outside of the Legion camps, he portrays himself as a kindly traveling doctor, although mostly an act, he will take his doctor job seriously if treated with respect. He tends to never drop the persona, even if found that he serves the legion.

Quotes

• "You can trust me, after all, I'm a doctor" (Reply when called untrustworthy)
• "Here drink this....you might feel a small bit of pain" (Patient screamed loudly afterword)
• "Ahh a sprained toe? I call for an amputation!" (Koren joking with a cultist)

Title	<Shade>
Race	Orc (Humanoid)
Class	Spymaster
Affiliation(s)	Bleeding Hollow Clan
Occupation	Spy
Location	Orgrimmar
Status	Alive
Relative(s)	Brutu & Dazel (Brothers)
Mentor(s)	Mouia

"Oh yeah? I'll put you to sleep soon enough! I'll savor that moment when it comes!"

— Lurdukmun, yelling at an escaping target.

Lurdukmun is a Bleeding Hollow orc that serves as a spy for the Horde. He is overconfident in his abilities as a spy, claiming to be trained by the best, thus making him the best. A bit of a hothead, he takes pride in serving the new Horde.

Biography

Lurdukmun(Lur for short) was born in the internment camps just after the closing of the Portal. He was raise being told of the glory of his clan, and the might of legendary orcs like Orgrim Doomhammer and Kilrogg. He grew up only knowing the camps and the stories, he found himself adept at stealing and lying. His parents passed years later, he was left with only his two brothers Brutu and Dazel. When Doomhammer and Thrall began to liberate the camps, Lur served under their banner as a scout while his brothers served as grunts. He continued to serve under their new Horde, utilizing his quick wits to quickly and silently slay the foes of the Horde.

Lur faithfully followed the Horde during the events of the Third War, utilizing his skills as a scout to spy on enemies, although he wasn't against charging into combat when the opportunity presented itself. After the war, he and his brothers found themselves without direction. Lur continued his training for years after the building of Orgrimmar. Without a new foe to fight, Lur found himself at odds with his trainers, his temper and confidence getting the better of him.

When the Forsaken joined the Horde, Lur was quick to leave to test the power of the Horde's new allies. He foolishly challenged a female Deathstalker named Mouia, who was quick to put him in his place using rather questionable tactics. Not wishing to go back to Orgrimmar in shame, he stayed with the Deathstalkers, attempting to learn some of their tactics. He trained under Mouia, becoming less prone to outbursts of anger, at least to his superiors. His training complete, he returned back to Cleft of Shadow to complete his training as a Spymaster. He trained there for two more years before being given the title of Shade, and being sent out into the world to eliminate threats to the Horde.

Abilities

Lur is a spymaster, he's an assassin, a thief, and a liar all rolled into one. While he can preform many tasks, his focus is truly on infiltration. He normally uses two short blades in combat, and prefers to out think his foes to defeat them. Lur has a knack for finding the info he is sent after, although many times he has to improvise to get the information he needs. He is able to change his outward appearance like that of any spymaster, but the facade falters when he loses his focus. During times of war, he switches into heavier leather and wields twin magical daggers.

Personality

Lur is a reckless, overconfident, arrogant, hot-headed fool of an orc. He doesn't take well to orders, and is more than willing to jump into danger if it gives glory. He knows he's the best, and that causes him to get into trouble time and time again. His pride in being part of the Horde and his quick wit allows him to adjust to the dangers he puts himself into. He shares a strong unspoken bond with those loyal to the Horde, willing to put his life on the line for them.

Quotes

• "Wow, aren't you a big one? you ready to surrender now?" (Lur mocking an orge)
• "Shut your trap shorty!" (Yelling to a dwarf)
• "Do as I say, or I'll leave you to the Defias for a plaything!" (A threat on the life of someone in Westfall)
