Drazhr

Name
His original name is unknown. Drazhr was the name on the first tombstone he saw upon regaining his free will.

Also known as Draz, the Shadow Binder, the Flame Keeper, the Fallen Magus of Dalaran.

Physical Traits
Like most Forsaken, Drazhr's body is quite dishevelled. His joints have been reduced to mere bones, and his once blue eye's now glow yellow. Even so, his face is very lightly scared, and retains much of his former humanity.

However, undeath is not the only thing which has affected his physical form. The demonic power that flows through his views has halted any further decay. It also allows him to quickly regenerate wounds. What other changes this power has wrought, only time will tell…

Race and Class
In life, he was a Human Mage.

In undeath he has become a Forsaken Warlock.

Guild
Death Dragoons

Occupation
His abilities as a herbologist and alchemist have earned him prestige in the Royal Apothecary Society. When not serviong the Dark Lady, he tend to travel the world in search of forgotten knowledge.

Family
Drazhr cannot remember his family from when he was alive. However, he has come to see his fellow Warlocks and Apothecaries as a for of family.

Background
Very little is known about Drazhr's past life, not even his real name. What he is able to discover about his former self is that he was once a magus of the Kirin Tor. While studying in Dalaran, he befriended and studied under the wizard Kel'Thuzad. When information regarding his master's foul experiments with the dead reached him, Drazhr blindly refused to believe that his tutor would do such things. He believed that the other members of the Kirin Tor feared he might one day become more powerful than them, and had fabricated the stories as an excuse to tighten their grip on him. Regardless, he did not voice his thoughts, as those who did would most likely have the council breathing down their neck forever after.

Years later, Drazhr found himself in the region of Tirisfal after hearing rumours that Kel'Thuzad had returned. In the town of Brill, his search came to an end. The two spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what had happened in the kingdom in the three years since they had last seen each other.Eventually, the conversation turned to the Kirin Tor and the aligations put against Kel'Thuzad. After Drazhr finally voiced his thoughts on the matter, he was shocked to the core to learn that the tales of living dead created by his master were not only true, but he was planning to use those powers to help create a new world order. It was at that point that he gave Drazhr a choice; join him willingly or serve him in death. Repulsed by what he had heard that day, he chose to fight. He was slain by the necromancer before he had even managed to use a single spell and ressurected as an undead sorceror. His free will lost (along with the majority of his powers), the turned magus was forced into battle against the people he had sworn to protect, including his brethrin in the Kirin Tor during the desecration of Dalaran. Eventually, the Lich King's power over his undead armies began to wane. Although Drazhr did manage to regain his free will, he did not stay that way for long, as he was soon enslaved to the will of the dreadlords. Once again a slave to the will of another, he realised that he could still think for himself, though he could not stop himself from obeying the demons. Resolving to find another way to break free, he turned to the demonic influence of his new masters. He discovered that he could drain small amounts of demonic energies from the spell that bound him to servitude. This way, he could strengthen his mind against the magics of the dreadlords, and escape them.

It would have taken many years for him to aquire enough power to strengthen his mind enough to escape the dreadlords, but thanks to the interventions of Lady Sylvanas, he didn't need to. Free once again, he swore alliegence to the Dark Lady, deciding to use his knowledge of herbs and alchemy to creating a weapon to destroy the Scourge, as well as finding a cure for undeath. He also discovered that he could use the demonic energies he had absorbed to fuel new powers.

Personal Notes
Unlike other Forsaken, Drazhr doesn't seem to have any perticular hatred for the other races of Azeroth. He sees all emotions the same, as diseases that can turn a person into the thing they most dispise and blind them to dangers or traps that any other individual with functioning eyes might see. However, out of all emotions, however, he sees hatred as the greatest of these weakness called 'feelings', as it can consume a person quicker than any known poison. Also, hatred leaves a greater sense of emptyness once it has been satisfied, leaving the peson even more disoriented than before.

He also appears to have a link to the Bronze Dragonflight, as one of its members can often be seen carrying him from place to place. However, neither side of him will say what that tie is.

Mental State
Since the Horde and Alliance begain their operations in Northrend, Drazhr was captured by the Scourge and brought before his former teacher, the betrayer Kel'Thuzad. In the fortress of Naxxramas, he found himself the test subject in new ways of bringing the Forsaken under the Lich Kings control. Although he managed to maintain his free will long enough for a group of Forsaken warriors to free him, the damage to his psyche had been done. Although the mages of Daleran were able to repair most of the damage done, Drazhr's mind was split in two...one dominant, the other passive. Both are aware of each others existence, and as such, Drazhr usually refers to himself as 'we' rather than'I'. Both sides also have a tendancy to talk to eachother, which results in most people trying to avoid being near him.

The dominant side is much like his original self. This side tends to be quiet, calm in the face of danger, and usually follows the most logical aproach to solving problems. Due to complications during his recovery in Daleran, this side of Drazhr has trouble feeling any emotions. While this means he will fearlessly stand against pit lords to protect his allies, he also has trouble feeling compassion for both friend and foe alike. This side is also the only side that has access to all his memories from when he first regained his free will.

The passive side of his mind, on the other hand, is a true wildcard. While the other side has difficulty feeling emotions, this side has too much. A very emotional entity, he is capable of flirting with a person one seconed, then setting them in fire in a fit of rage the next. It's this penchant for randomly setting people on fire that means that this side of Drazhr has to be kept under control. This side has a greater chance of taking over as the dominant side when under intense stress, making him quite dangerous in a losing battle.

Current Status
Currently based in the floating city of Daleran, Drazhr aiding the war effort against the Lich King's forces in Northrend. However, he has become more involved with the battle against the blue dragonflight as time progresses.
