Background
Early Life:

Wólf Runetouch was the youngest son of a rich noble merchant family of Stratholme.

Morgan Runetouch Wólf's father was a Knight in the second war, and Wólf's Mother Elizabeth Runetouch was a wandering Hedgemage.

During the battle of Blackrock mountain Morgan found a horde Cache of gems and gold.

Morgan used this money to set up a merchant empire in Startholme.

Wólf grew up in a life of wealth and splendor. At the age of 12 Wólf showed great potential in weilding the light.

The Third War:

At the age of 16 Wólf entered the Knights of the Silverhand. Wólf excelled in all areas he was trained in showing great promise as a Paladin. However within months of joining the order Lordaeron began to collapse under the pressures from the plauge of undeath and the assaults of the scourge.

Wólf returned from a training mission in Hillsbrad to find Stratholme a smoking ruins his family dead and his home gone, Wólf cried out for vegence against Prince Arthas who had destroyed his home and the Undead who had pushed Arthas to it.

Wólf was filled with a great rage and his heart screamed out for vegence and a few months later Wólf got his chance.

Prince Arthas returned to the captail city of Lordaeron and was attacking the city. Against the orders of his commanders Wólf snuck out of Light's hope where he had been training and set off to meet with the man responsable for the death of his family.

Wólf managed to arrive at the city before the Paladins and fought with all his might to reach the throne room and confront Arthas. However Wólf's path was blocked by a Death Knight, Wólf battled the Death Knight but was far out matched the Death Knight's runeblade slashed Wólf's face leaving a deep scar that still remains today and almost taking Wólfs eye out.

Wólf was saved by the arrival of Uther and his paladins who distracted the scourge allowing Wólf time to escape.

The Scarlet Crusade:

After the fall of Lordaeron, Wólf was ordered to travel to Stromwind.

Wólf's commanders felt that the rage that blinded Wólf was dangerous and Wólf would be unable to cope with the stresses of defending the land from the undead, Wólf possed a threat to himself and his fellow Paladins.

On the journey to the South Wólf meet three paladins from the Scarlet Crusade, the Paladin's promised to complete Wólf's training and give him the chance to retake his home from the scourge.

Wólf stayed at the Scarlet crusade and was at peace, he was completeing his training and had found others who shared the same desire for vengence as him.

One day while out on patrol with a unit of Knights Wólf found a mother and her children taking sheleter in a farm they seemed unharmmed and healthy so Wólf brought them to his commander to take back to the Scarlet Monastery, Wólf's commander claimed they had the taint of undeath and ordered Wólf to slay them, Wólf refused to take an innocent lives and attacked his commander.

When Wólf awoke he was locked in the torture chambers and spent the following week being exposed to the horrible techniques of the Scarlet Inqusiton.

Wólf was forced to realise the Crusade was corrupt and evil, and manged to escape and fled southwards.

Flight to Ironforge and Stormwind:

Wólf travelled south to Ironforge where he stayed with a family friend a gnome called Fizzlecog.

Wólf spent a year in Fizzlecog's engineering workshop and gained a working understanding of Gnomish Engineering. During this time Wólf was plauged with nightmares of a Scourge Necromancer. He goaded and taunted Wólf into finding him.

Wólf was convinced that these dreams were visions either sent to him by the Light, or by the nercomancers dark powers either way Wólf had to seek out the Necromancer and so continued his journey South.

Wólf arrived in Stormwind and finished his Paladin training in Northshire Abbey.

The hunt for the Necromancer:

Wólf was now a full paladin trained in the ways of the Light, however Wólf had stopped reciving the nightmares of the Necromancer and had felt the trail had gone cold.

One day Wólf recived a letter telling him a Black Market merchant in Booty Bay would know of the location The Necromancer he sought. Wólf travelled south and met with the trader by the name of Lord Essence. Essence told Wólf he did not know of any Necromancer but he could look into it in exchange for a favour from Wólf.

Essence had lost his cage fighting gladiator in a drunken brawl a few weeks ago, and with the Steamwheelde championship just a few weeks away Essence could really use a new champion, if Wólf fought in the cage fights for him he might be able to locate the Necromancer.

It was around this time Wólf met Péarl Essence the traders daughter and a Warlock of some power and the two instantly hated each other, Péarl and Wólf dueled each other in the Troll ruins outside of Booty Bay and both found that they were equally matchd the conflict raged on late into the night and the two nearly killed each other. The battle came to a halt and the two realising that they could not defeat one another with out dying in the attempt agreed to a truce.

Wólf travelled to Gadgetzan to fight in the Thunderdrome cage fighting competion, Wólf found he easily outmatched the other fighters

earning him self the nickname Holy Wrath Runetouch.

It was during these cage fights Wólf met the Orc slave Balen two blades, Balen was a slave prisoner of a group of Ogres when Wólf defeated him he spared the Orcs life and claimed his prize as champion, however to his horror he found that the Ogres planed on killing the orc and eating him Wólf and Péarl worked together in defeating the Ogres and freeing Balen making a life long friend in the process.

With Wólf and Péarl's differences put aside the two agreed to work together and hunt the Necromancer, they chased the Necromaner across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor however the Necromancer always evaded capture.

When the black portal opened the Necromancer escaped to the Outlands and Wólf and Péarl followed.

Wólf's fall from the Light:

Wólf's desire for vengence still burnt brightly in his heart and the years of chasing the Necromancer had only fed the flames of hatred.

By the time Wólf and Péarl entered Outland Wólf had been almost completly consumed by his rage, he became prone to violent out bursts and had become cold.

The worst came one night when Wólf and Péarl were camping in Naragard Wólf had another vision of the Necromancer claiming it was hiding in a Farm not far from the camp.

Wólf rushed off to the Farm alone but found no Necromancer, only a peaceful family of Orcs, when the Orcs could not tell Wólf where the necromancer was he accused them of being in leauge with the Necromancer and slew them all.

Quickly the realisation of what Wólf had done hit him and he was over-come with Guilt, Wólf fled the Outlands and found he could no longer wield the Light.

Wólf's Redemption:

Wólf wandred the world before setteling in Southshore, Wólf took up work as a Miner and lived happily in Soutshore. Wólf quickly made friends with the towns folk and for the first time since the fall of Stratholme Wólf was truly happy.

The rage Wólf had held in his heart for so long finally began to fade.

One day a group of bandits attacked Southshore and they were easily crushed under the combined forces of the Alliance troops and the miners.

It was a resounding victory however not was all well during the skirmish a stray arrow had hit a young child who was now in a critical conditon, with no doctor present and the neariest priest in the dangerous plaugelands it seemed hopless for the child.

Wólf in despeartion called out to the Light for the power to save the boy and found he could once again wield the light and saved the boy from death.

Wólf was finally Redeemed and now no longer a slave to his anger and hatred.

A few weeks later Péarl found Wólf at southshore and told him that the Alliance and the Horde were heading to the North to fight the Lich King, Wólf at long last could have his vengence.

The Frozen North and the Necromancer's fall:

Wólf and Péarl travelled to Northrend with the Argent Crusade and very rarely did they have a chance to to rest. Constantly fighting the waves of the undead but the Necromancer did not appear. Wólf began to fear if the creature had been a figment of his imagination a horrible and twisted creation formed from his rage and hatred.

Finally when Wólf and Péarl were fighting on the front Lines in Icecrown the Necromancer finally appeared Wólf was struck in horror to find in the Necromancers possesion was Wólf's Fathers blade The Cal'Thes a family herlioom.

The battle was fierce and Wólf and Péarl nearly lost their lives but finally they over came the Necromancer.

As the foul creature died Wólf removed the necromancer's hood so he could finally see the face of his tormentor and to his horror Wólf saw the Face of his mother. Elizabeth had been raised by the Undead and used against him as a weapon for all these years.

Wólf laid his mother to her final rest and saw out the war in the north for it's remaining years.

When Tirion Fordragon brought the word the Lich King had been slain Wólf returned to Stormwind the vengence in his heart saited.

The return to Southshore:

Wólf Joined the Stormwind guard looking for some way to aid his fellow man now that the Undead was gone Wólf had no prey to chase.

Wólf recived word from the Argent Crusade telling them they had retaken Hearthglen and the Runetouch House there still stood and Wólf would be welcomed back.

Wólf and Péarl travelled to Hearthglen to celebrate Wólf's new home and went on a hunting trip in Hillsbrad. The hunt went on late into the night and Wólf suggested the two stay at Southshore rather then travel the mountains in the dark.

When Wólf arrived at Southshore he was shocked to find the town in ruins, abandoned and filled with the chemical weapons of the Foresaken.

Wólf was grieved with the loss of a people and place that had been so kind to him in his time of need, and while Wólf remains in Stormwind to protect the city as a member of the Guard he has sworn to travel to the front lines in the battle with the Horde to avenge those lost in the ruthless attack.
