The "silverwolf elf", is a famous half-elf in their race's legends. He is said to be the first half-elf child ever abandoned by the elves. Wolves found him in the wilderness and raised him, and he became the greatest warrior in Azeroth. That is until he caught sight of a human city and was enamored by it. The humans greeted him, then they waylaid him, blinded him, and forced him to row a galley ship for close to one hundred and fifty years before he finally died at the oars.^{APG 132}
