Background
Teyth is the middle child of Magister Kastyl and Magistrix Nerane. He grew up in the Coldflame Spire with his kin and received extensive schooling from private teachers mostly focusing on magic and family history. Unfortunately he did not show any extraordinary skills in magic unlike most others in his family and especially his brother, much to his father's disappointment and his own shame.

When the Blood Knight Order was born, Kastyl saw an opportunity for Teyth and send his son to join the Order. However, after Kael'thas' attack on Silvermoon and theft of the naaru, it was seen pointless to stay as member, so Teyth resigned from active service.

Recently Teyth's older brother also made it to Magister, and has since received even more favored treatment than before. Teyth on the other hand was sent to watch over one of Coldflame's investments. The Winterspark Investigations, a previously quite successful investigation agency had made some bad choices - some of them regarding amounts of goblin explosives near expensive yet fragile structures - and needed substantial investment from outside. The 'watching over investment' turned out to be more of walking alongside Dorath as another investigator, just without a pay.

Family Background
One of the minor Highbourne families, Coldflames have been researching and practicing magic even before the Sundering. Most of what happened in those ancient times is mere family legends now, part fiction, part wishful thinking with some real history in between. There are some closely guarded secrets dating back to those times, and a few family grudges as well.

One of those grudges is against night elves, who managed to stole and hide a priceless arcane artefact which might have been Coldflame's ticket to the power. But that was not to be, and Coldflames had to settle for their unnoticeable position in the society.

Through the centuries and millennia the Coldflames persisted, never quite making it into the higher circles of the society but never falling too far from it either. The position suited them quite well in fact as the Coldflames preferred to keep to themselves. Their secluded lifestyle generated some ugly rumors now and then, but the rumors always quickly died out. Whispers of demonworship, eating babies, necromancy, wild orgies, the usual stuff. Nothing was ever proven or even brought up openly, and their name never got an ominous ring to it.

Siralthes Coldflame, who is regarded the revered greatgrandmother now, was one of the most gifted and driven of the family's magi in her own time. She reached a position of high power within the Magisters and had the Coldflame Spire built. The Spire, that has been the family's home ever since, is just outside Silvermoon in the shores of Eversong Woods. This marked an important shift in the family's life as they could focus more in their research without worrying about outsiders and the Spire itself could be used for arcane focusing more efficiently.

It was the Coldflame Spire that played a crucial part in the family's survival during the Scourge attack. The floating structure has its own magical defenses, and can be only reached through magical transportation or flight. The family and their servants all holed up in the Spire, and managed to defeat whatever Scourge wandered by from the main attack on Silvermoon.

Currently there is about two dozen Coldflame family members living in the Spire, most of them magically inclined. In name, the family head is matriarch Monetha, but the old woman is living more in the past than present. The real power in the family is wielded by her oldest son, Roshtar Coldflame.

'The Old Magister', as Roshtar is called within the family - though not to his face - is the oldest current Magisters in the family. His son Kastyl Coldflame is also a Magister and active in the political field of Silvermoon. Kastyl and his Magistrix wife spend lot of their time away from the Spire to be able to conduct their political and arcane careers in Silvermoon.

The Mornsoul family has served the Coldflames for generations, always loyal, always discreet and always rewarded for their efforts.

Criminal Record
No official criminal record.

Personal Notes
Teyth still uses the Light powers of Blood Knight. Now that the naaru is not available any longer to draw power from, he has to resort drawing the energy out of other users of Light on regular basis. This is in addition to the usual blood elven fel magic addiction.

Current Status
Teyth is working to get to his father's good grace, a task that has seemed nigh impossible all his life, yet comes so easily to his brother. Working for Winterspark doesn't offer that many opportunities, but at every chance he gets, Teyth tries to prove himself to be capable of achieving things despite not being a Magister.

Teyth still primarily lives in Coldflame Spire, but due work stays in the Coldflame apartment in Silvermoon several times a week.
