Winterwind

Name
Winterwind. The Stormlord. Crazy Ol' Winter. That Tauren That Keeps Lurking Around.

Physical Traits
Old, scarred and big! Winterwind is large even by his races standards, yet his bent back keeps him at eye level with most. One broken horn and earth-matted braids adorn his old head. He's occasionally seen with an enormous, if plain hammer of dwarven design.

Race and Class
Tauren, Druid

Guild
The Gathering Storm

Occupation
Master Transmuter and Miner, The lore of the Earthmother, how she shaped and breathed life into world, fascinates him.

Family
Unknown.

Background
Not much is known of this grizzled individual. It is known that he has spoken with both Runetotem and Bloodhoof and received their acceptance on the Bluff. It is known that he has been drifting in and out of Bloodhoof Village for as long as any there can remember. It is known that he sometimes appears to offer aid to those Tauren who fall afoul of the wilds. But that is about all. Except in recent years, this strange old hermit has begun to attract a few followers, mostly young Druids, keen to benefit from his experience in the wildernesses of the worlds. What his influence shall be over them remains to be seen.

Family Background
Unknown.

Criminal Record
Unknown.

Personal Notes
To those very, very few that know him, he is possibly the more xenocentric old mysanthrope imaginable. Winterwind detests some other races, seeing Elvenkind as nothing more than weak-willed buffoons tampering with the Titans tools and failing to master them, the Orc as nothing more than invaders foreign to this world and no different from the Draenai. Trolls, Dwarves, Gnomes, Humans are fine...in their place. This means nowhere near Mulgore! the Forsaken are hideous, but perfect as fodder against the Scourge, they being little different.

To those that dont, which is most beings, his thick, Dwarven accented, Orcish is a shock as is his gruff if affable demeanour, though a pleasant surprise from the usually stoic, retiring Tauren stereotype. His overall curiosity can be somewhat endearing. This is in part a cultural clash, as many are unsure how to read Tauren and also a deliberate pretence which is again hard to detect by most others.

He's old, angry and scared of what the future holds, for himself and his people. Thats never a good combination.

Current Status
Known to be moving between the Libraries of Silvermoon and the hearths of Orgrimmar, he is apparently actively seeking certain members of influential groups in those areas, asking questions of them and vanishing again.
