History
Valimar Mordis was once a human lord who ruled a small barony in the Alterac Mountains. He ruled over his land as a gentle and kind man. He once befriended a Tauren named Trag, an explorer from the continent of Kalimdor. He had a long and successful rule until the Scourge came and killed every human in his kingdom. The Scourge then resurrected him and used him as one of their more powerful warriors. He did many evil deeds while under the Scourge's influence, until one day he killed an Archmage during a raid on an Alliance town, and regained his free will.
Valimar then returned to his old home, only to see it in ruins. Trag was still there, however and protected the land from intruders. Valimar acted as if he was glad to see Trag again (though he actually only intended to use him) and together they hunted the Scourge. They hunted one Scourge zombie in particular called Ichor who wielded an Orb of Ner'Zhul, an artifact used to revive ancient beasts for the Lich King's service. However, Mordis had his own plans for the orb. He intended to use it in order to spread the will of the Forsaken, and create his own army of undead, and he didn't care who he used in order to achieve that goal. Ultimately Trag figured out Mordis' plan, and sacrificed himself in order to stop Valimar from completing his agenda.

Reason for becoming Forsaken
Since the Baron regained his senses, it is possible he could've looked for kindred spirits, thus meaning he met Sylvanas Windrunner or other Forsaken.
About his name
Its unknown if Mordis is Valimar's real last name. Since the prefix of his last name, "Mor" comes from the word meaning death, it is more than likely it was a name he switched to after becoming either Scourge, or later as a Forsaken. In Forsaken naming convention it is standard for an individual to take on a last name representing who they have become.Template:Cite This would imply that Baron Mordis would actually have had a different name, when he was alive.
As his barony included areas within the Alterac Mountains he could in fact have been a member of the House of Perenolde, perhaps even Baron Perenolde himself. Which would make his true name, "Baron Valimar Perenolde".
