Childhood
Tharngriu was born in Southshore, Hillsbrad, under the name Tharngriu Jonathan Piken. As a child he was often found in the fields, helping his father with his work. When he was merely ten years of age, he managed to save a fellow friend from a hostile bear by suddenly letting out a burst of magic. It was on this day he discovered his natural talent as a mage. He was soon discovered by the mages of Dalaran, and within the month he had been sent to study under the great minds of the Kirin Tor. He never saw his parents again.

Dalaran
Nine long years past, and during this time Tharngriu was in Dalaran, never let out. As the time went by, he began to be called by his mage name, Xangriu. And when that time was up, he was indeed a very powerful mage. One of the stronger students. It was not long after this in which he met a fellow student, Eleveen Maten. They soon fell in love, and married. They then had two children, Arus (M) and Emi. (F)

After Marriage
Three years later, now 22, Tharngriu soon became a teacher to some other students at Dalaran. He then discovered one of his students, the elf Syalashia, had great potential, and Tharngriu took a student-master liking to him.

Moving South
Then two years later, he, his wife and his two children moved south to Lakeshire. Whilst he was there, he met a rogue named Triac, and they did some mercenary work around the Eastern Kingdoms. But soon, his favoured student, Syalashia, corrupted the local orcs and sent them to attack Redridge, in a desperate attempt to slay Tharngriu. Tharngriu survived, as he had been at the roads south of Lakeshire. But as he heard the screams...the sound of war, he ran to his family's aid. When he arrived, he saw his wife slaughtered by one of the orcs. It was at that moment he had felt a sharp pain in his back....and seen nothing but black. He awoke some weeks later, and realised he could not perform any magic. He had lost his natural talent. And he had forgotten much of his past.

The RP begins
Tharngriu wondered around aimlessly for several days, eventually arriving in Goldshire. Here he met a half-elf friend of his, and as an amazing coincidence, bumped into Triac. But he soon discovered it was no coincidence. Syalashia, or the entity known as 'The Betrayer,' had taken control of him. But Tharngriu only discovered this when it was too late. Triac defeated him a fight and sent him down to the deepest pits of hell. But in a last desperate burst of magic, he was sent back to Azeroth, but at a cost. He no longer had any of his arcane power, so he went back to his birth name of Tharngriu. He was a shell of what he had been.

Revival
He met an old, crippled man known as 'The Lorespeaker,' who befriended him and helped him to remember his past back. When he found Triac again, he knew who he was. After this, along with the half-elf, they had many attempts to defeat 'The Betrayer.' But the last resulted in Tharngriu being slain.

The Excorcist
The Lorespeaker arrived from nowhere, and whispered some words to him. Then he suddenly stood, and a blade known as Del'kesis came to his hand. The Lorespeaker referred to him as 'The Excorcist,' and told him it was his true name. The Lorespeaker then banished the Betrayer with one word; and it was never seen again. Tharngriu questioned the Lorespeaker's power, and over much time it was revealed he was Nor'kali, the master. And he had control over those who had ever served him. He then tried to force Tharngriu into his service. Tharngriu managed to resist, and then Nor'Kali became an enemy.

Death of a Master
They had a final confrontation in the tombs of Stormwind Cathedral, and it ended as Tharngriu slew the Lorespeaker and sealed him in the tomb. But before he died, he told Tharngriu, 'You are the master excorcist. It is the written in the laws that you shall end where I am now.' And then he was gone...

Recently...
Recently Tharngriu has been fighting against the forces of the dead, such as the constant whispers and screams he hears in his head, the forces of the Lich King, and the undead mother of his friend hellbent on revenge on the humans for what they did to her...

Some notes from the Author
Hi. At some point I may add some more 'bits' to the page, but I think this is enough for now. And...ehm....sorry about having a Huge character history. But I tried to cut out all the little, side parts (although I suspect I have forgotten some major parts and WILL be reminded), and include the major plot. And believe it or not, everything I've written down is probably only half of the whole RP I've done on that character. Cheers. :)

P.S. I will definitely upload some pictures, but at the moment this wiki says it can't make accounts...so hopefully soon.
