Family Background
Now a wizened thirty-six, Krastan was born around the time of the construction of the Greymane wall. While Tammer, his grandfather, had been a successful travelling merchant, an entire dynasty of business knowledge could not save the family from ruin when the trade with rich Lordaeron and exotic Quel'thalas was cut off. With the old man ill, Tammer's sons squabbled and frittered away their gold on foolish business ventures and immoral vices. Worse, the mages and mystics who once ventured with the family caravan began turning to fel magics in vain efforts to claw back the lifestyle they had previously enjoyed.

Sensing the impending disaster, Tammers seventh son named Trevor took his wife and young family into hiding along with those retainers who remained loyal. Krastan grew up among many siblings, living on precious little money and always prepared to flee when rumours of the uncles exploits reached whatever locale the family was staying in. In two generations, the family had gone from respected merchants to gypsies hiding in the woods. Trevor was a resourceful man however and he had plans. He would often tell his young sons tales of what the family business had once been and what it would one day be again, when the Greymane Wall came down.

Background
It was the poverty of the family that saved Krastan from the Forsaken invasion; he and his brothers had long since been sent to apprenticeships in order to keep them fed. While his druid teacher was slain, Krastan was able to escape with the night elves and ended up in Stormwind. Despite his best efforts he has found only one other survivor of the caravan thus far; the witch Theresa.

Current Status
Determined to rebuild his heritage, Krastan now leads a caravan of Gilnean refugees, mystics and other travellers in search of fame and fortune.
