-------------------

Name: Aodhan Burnell

Age: 41

Physical attributes: short and skinny, looks his age, if a bit older, brown hair going grey tied in a ponytail.

Personality: extrovert, slightly immature, loud, intelligent with a certain arrogance and, sometimes, a lack of common sense.

Background: from Dalaran, born into a poor family. Studied arcane magic, graduated, became a mage and was lured into the Cult fairly early on - believing its purpose to be the study of arts forbidden by the Kirin Tor. Rose through the ranks due to contributions to Scourge research and probably sent to Stormwind for being loud and irritating.

Motivations: acquisition of more knowledge, "earning" the state of undeath, the usual cultist things.

Name: Kassina Nethermoore

Age: 22

Physical attributes: Normal build, grey decaying skin, black hair pulled back into a ponytail.

Personality: Silent person, but she's cold, emotionless and calculating. She doesnt have a big lust for battle, unlike some death knights, but she has her moments, and can be rather sadistic.

Background: Born in Capital City, Lordaeron. She fled Capital City during the Scourge invasion with her sister, while their parents tried to protect them. Raised in Stormwind and later trained to become a soldier in the ranks of the Argent Dawn. Soon after she was found dead near Corrin's Crossing. Since then she has returned as a death knight.

Motivations: Conquering Azeroth in the name of the Lich King!

Name: Kivare Bennett

Age: 17

Physical attributes:Tall, lanky and still a little awkward. Is uncommonly pretty and innocent looking, an impression aided by her clear-blue eyes and easy smile.

Personality: Spoilt, stubborn and has a tendancy to sulk. Is easily lead and seems to jump into things without thinking it through properly.

Background: From Theramore, grew up in a pretty afluent house and was spoilt by her Mother, smothered to an extent. She fell in with some agitators and malcontents in Theramore and ended up publically defaming Lady Jaina Proudmoore. Infront of the Theramore Task Force. This ended in her being taken to a cell and treated very heavy-handed till she was tossed out in tears. Because of this she has an irrational hatred of Kaijan Vaylor and she ended up being contacted by Alphonso and recruited to try and assassinate him.

Motivations: Wants to be accepted and feel like she belongs. Hates her parents and wishes to rebel and 'show them' she is not just a little girl.

Name: Glerad Akturas

Age: 71 (Note, the life-span of mages are lengthed due to their use of magic)

Physical attributes: Tall and skinny, with grey hair. Normally has either a thoughtful or annoyed expression on his face.

Personality: Loud but intelligent, Glerad is nearly always certain he is correct and has a habit of speaking over others.

Background: Born in Dalaran and began training as a mage from a young age. He however failed to complete his final exams and left the Kirin Tor to pursue his own work. Managing to talk him way into powerful friends he worked as a minister for the State of Stormwind alongside Xephon making friends with people in power. After the collapse of the State Glerad returned to his private research and his pursuits in life lengthening magic led him to the Cult of the Damned.

Motivations: A fear of permanent death. However, unlike most of the acolytes Glerad accepts that the Scourge is doomed sooner or later and sees it as his mission to prolonge it in the name of the research and knowledge available to the cult.

Name: Liniea Poxie Nizzlesprock.

Nickname: Poxie

Age: 28 (human years) years old.

Physical attributes: Poxie is of normal size for her race and she is rather plain looking, if you can manage to keep your sight of her long black hair. She barely washes it, so that leaves it looking messy, greasy and what not.

Personality: Poxie is rather straight forward to people that hasn't earned her trust or respect. If she thinks they do something wrong, they are told. Her general way of behaving amongst other persons is like what you would expect of a cultist trying to keep the true identity hidden.

HIstory: Born i´n Gnomeregan but raised in Southshore by human, since her parents abandoned her at a very early age. Poxie soon had shown the quality of using the arts of magic so she was sent to Dalaran to start her training, but it didn't quite go as Poxie wanted. She could barely focus enough to summon a mere elemental, there was one thing she was a talent at, which was alchemy. She could learn and brew a potion within a few hours, and she was fairly good at "inventing" new brews and potions, but her true wish was to become a mage, which she couldn't due to the highly expected concentration. But she found new trust in magic when the Scourge destroyed Dalaran. She decided to learn the dark arts of Necromancery and to be part of the cult that helped destroyed her home and destroy the nation.

Motivation: Learn to master the arts of Necromancery, learn to make alot of poisons, plagues and what not (Scourge related ofc) and various other cultist related stuff.

28 by human standards or something, I assume? I think gnomes reach adulthood at around 40 "actual" years or so.

Indeed, my dwarf for example, is around 130 years old in human years, which is equal to his 50'ties in relation to a human.

Name: Umbruun

Age: “Very old.”

Physical Attributes: Normal build for draenei male: tall, well-built, barrel-chested. Perhaps slightly leaner now that he is undead. Face shows his transformation the best as it’s lost the glow of health and is gaunter. His skin is dark and his hair is light, pulled back in a long ponytail.

Personality: Umbruun retains his inquisitive nature in undeath. He is always willing to learn more, necromancy being his current favorite. He tends to be polite and well-spoken although more prone to anger than in his old life. He is contemplative and spends a lot of time thinking about topics of interest. He regards his undead state as a chance to truly live forever and study the world without being bothered by corporal needs.

History: Umbruun’s past before the draenei’s appearance on Azeroth is complex and long-winded. He’d been a warrior of the Light for a very long time before his race joined the Alliance. His curious nature often drew him to more scholarly pursuits, however, especially after he entered the lives of Azeroth’s other denizens. He was a member of a number of different independent orders and worked ceaselessly to spread happiness and goodwill and to prevent the spread of corruption and the Shadow within the ranks of the Alliance.

He died as a result of a betrayal. A member of the Cult of the Damned had managed to gain his trust by posing as a priest of the Cathedral working in Duskwood. After luring Umbruun to a remote location, he killed the draenei with a surprise attack. His body was sent north where it was eventually raised as a death knight bound to the Lich King’s will.

After breaking free of Arthas and the Scourge, Umbruun rejoined the Alliance with others of his kind. Horrified of his new undead form, he became reclusive and eventually cut ties with his former friends. The old Umbruun was but a memory but he still retained much of his old personality—while his new state slowly corrupted his changed mind.

Umbruun is now a distorted version of his old self. He craves new necromantic spells and rituals and has secretly joined the Scourge through Morbid Faith.
