"I intend to each you everything I know about your powers, for we Blood Knights wield them much as your Sunwalkers do. I will teach you how to use your powers to heal, how to defend, and how to attack. I also intend to teach you that this is not a gift that is to be used lightly, that sometimes it can be withheld, like the blessing of the elements to a shaman, or of nature to a druid. The tauren have proven that they walk with the Earthmother, young Belor'malanore. You and your brothers will now prove that you walk with the Light as well."

Biography

Born in the Stonetalon Mountains a decade before the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Telek belongs to the Eaglespear tribe, a small offshoot of the Bloodhoofs that retains their loyalty to them, and fiercely opposes the Grimtotems. Raised in the traditional tauren way, to respect the Earthmother and to participate in the hunt, the Eaglespears settled in Thunder Bluff, high above the plains of Mulgore, when Cairne Bloodhoof united the tribes. Telek's elder brother, Ublaz, went to fight for the Horde and was killed during an attack on Naxxramas prior to the re-opening of the Dark Portal. Ublaz later returned shortly before the war against the Lich King, having been resurrected by the Scourge as a death knight and freed by the efforts of Tirion Fordring and Darion Mograine.

Touched by the Light

Telek's first teachers - Aponi Brightmane, leader of the Sunwalkers, and Taeril'hane Ketiron, a Blood Knight Master visiting from Silvermoon

After the death of the Lich King, Telek decided to explore beyond Kalimdor, and journeyed to the Eastern Kingdoms. Not comfortable with being around the Forsaken, Telek travelled to the blood elf city of Silvermoon. In the Court of the Sun, he saw something that would change his life...

A group of blood elves had gathered outside a stately manor, watching with awe as a venerable nobleman demonstrated his powers to them. The blood elves were aspiring Blood Knights, and the nobleman was a Blood Knight Master named Taeril'hane Ketiron. Back in Mulgore, as the war in Northrend went on, Telek had heard about a movement of the tauren people, who looked to the sun as a source of power, much as their night elf allies called on the moon - the embodiment of their goddess Elune. What Telek saw in Silvermoon was a man wielding power very similar to what he had heard, the ability to heal or call holy wrath upon an enemy.

Entranced, Telek watched as the Master demonstrated his art to his pupils. The Blood Knight neophytes laughed and mocked the young tauren, but Ketiron silenced them, sensing something within him. Switching from his native Thalassian to Orcish, the language of the Horde, Ketiron spoke with Telek and listened as his guest told him of the movement in Mulgore, about using powers like his. Smiling, Ketiron blessed the young tauren and hoped to one day see this idea become a reality.

Three years later, the world altered irrevocably by the Shattering, Ketiron ventured to Thunder Bluff. By this time, Cairne had been killed by Grimtotem treachery, and his son Baine had solidified his position as the new High Chieftain of all tauren. The Master was pleased to see that the movement, now known as the Sunwalkers, had taken hold, consisting of people who not only used the powers of paladins, but of priests as well. As Telek arrived in Thunder Bluff to receive wisdom and instruction from Aponi Brightmane, leader of the Sunwalker movement, he was surprised to see Ketiron standing at her side, pledging to teach the new Sunwalker what he knew as well. Ketiron called him "Belor'malanore", the closest approximation in Thalassian to "Sunwalker".
