History
Sha'Leigh was born in an unknown elven village and grew up as a farmer with his father Galorian Vaylor and his mother Dalores Vaylor. He had a happy life, learning the elven ways in schools with his friend Zelune. They grew up together and lived through elven teenage years and after his father packed in the farm he carried it on, owning a lot of animals and becoming quite popular around his settlement. Zelune helped him after they finished school and they both lived a very happy life, finding girlfriends and trying to have fun in their lives. After many years of having fun, almost getting married and running his dads farm his village was attacked by ravegous Orc mercenaries led by their Warcheif, Baaz. His village was wiped out including his family and only a few remained standing, including himself and Zelune who had fought and escaped with a number of their other friends.

Another 2 years passed as him, Zelune and the small group fighted for survival in the forests of Azeroth and searched for a new home, but they couldn't find one. They took refuge in the trees, they got to know each other more and then began to see each other as their new family. Another year passed as they carried on searching and became tired and saw no worth in searching any more. But after a final push for searching for a home they came up across Lordaeron, a place for humans. They took refuge and hoped for comfort. They stayed in a lovely inn to where the Landlord took him and his friends in and helped them recover.

A few more years passed and war broke out with the scourge, Arthas's betrayal became more and more deadly and threatened alliance and horde alike. He took up the role in the Elven army after finding his way home with Zelune. He and his friends were sent into action on many occasions as the basic Private ranks. He fought long and hard with the Elven Military for years on end, but was broken up from his friends as they seperated into different Regiments. For outstanding jobs throughout his time through the Military he was sent to the Priestess for a special meeting over a promotion. He was sent back into duty as a Captain and in charge of a number of scouts and trackers and the fighting ahead in the frontlines as an officer against the Horde and Burning Legion threatening their land. After many more battles he became friends with a number of people some from even other races. He took part in the battle of Mount Hyjal against Archimonde's Burning Legion and helped defend his people and the race he loves so much along with the aid from the Alliance and the Horde.

He then decided to abandon hs post in the army and become a full time hunter mercenary. He helped find Darnassus and Teldrassil with his friends and built it up living there for a year trying to forget his military past. He spoke to the Arch-Druid on what he should do next and he told him to train the ways of a hunter, it was in his genes. Sha'Leigh gladly accepted and was taught by experienced hunters who told him every trick in the book to be a master hunter, even meeting Tyrande Whisperwind.

He returned to Stormwind then looking for something to do. He travelled to Westfall to check on the damaged caused there and found a small child named Sayian Garnear. He took him in as his son and is now his loyal friend and fight partner. He looked for jobs ranging from a landlord to a thief but none of this worked out. He then decided to form a neutral military unit named the Exiled Militia who fight for what they see as right and try to rid the land of the Burning Legion and whats left of the deadly forces around Azeroth.

Influences
Many things made me think of Sha'Leigh. After seeing Lord of the Rings and playing Warcraft 3 + The Frozen Throne I liked the idea as an elf hunter similar to Legolas and Tyrande Whisperwind. I'd thought I'd make him a military type of character as I'm into all of that type of stuff and enjoy being part of a team similar to a military group, so tryed to make Sha'Leigh similar to me and different military leaders from many films such as Doom, Lord of the Rings, Gladiator etc. I like playing Sha'Leigh even though some of you may not like me because of his characteristics and is similar to me in many ways.
