Drazhr

Name
Drazhr

Also known as the 'Flame Keeper' and the 'Fallen Magus of Dalaran'.

Physical Traits
Outwardly, Drazhr looks very simillar to any other Forsaken. His eyes have an eerie glow about them, and his flesh has completely rotted away in some places, causing his bones to become exposed. His gaunt face always holds a serious expression which, combined with his hollow voice, leaves many confused as to whether he's being sarcastic of not.

Undeath is not the only thing that has changed him. The power of demons also flows through his long unused veins, which has prevented his body from degrading any further. This power has also given him a sort of accelerated healing, though he never regresses from his undead state. What other changes this fel corruption gives him, only time will tell.

Race and Class
Before death took him, he was a Human Mage.

Now, he is a Forsaken Warlock.

Fighting Style
During his life as a mage of the Kirin Tor, Drazhr showed perticular skill at fire magic. Even while cursed with undeath, this affinity stayed with him. However, his abilities with the arcane was lost to him during his time as an unliving servant, only to be replaced with the shadowy magic of demons. He can be extreamly destructive in battle, incinerating anything in his path while cursing his enemies. He is also often accompanied by a Felhound or Imp for support, though he has been known to summon Infernals when under pressure. He also retained his penchant for keeping a staff and wand close by should his spells ever fail him, though this does not often happen.

Occupation
His abilities as a herbologist and alchemist have earned him prestige in the Royal Apothecary Society, especially for his skill at potion brewing. When not serving the Dark Lady, he tends to travel the world in search of forgotten knowledge and rare ingredients.

Family
Bron in Gilneas City, his family stayed there when he went to study as the Violet Citadel. His mother and sister were cursed when his father turned during the night. As there fate is not known, it is assumed they were either killed by Gilneas watchmen or the Forsaken during their invasion.

Background
While he cannot remember all of his past, Drazhr can recall certain details about his previous life. Born to a poor family in Gilneas City, the young Drazhr worked with his father as a cobbler until his talent for magic was discovered. He was sent away to the Voilet Citadel in Dalaran to learn how to control his new powers, where he befriended and studied under the wizard Kel'Thuzad. When information regarding his master's foul experiments with the dead reached him, Drazhr blindly refused to believe that his tutor would do such things. He believed that the other members of the Kirin Tor feared he might one day become more powerful than them, and had fabricated the stories as an excuse to tighten their grip on him, and that he had been forced to leave as a result. Regardless, he did not voice his thoughts openly, as those who did would most likely have the council breathing down their neck forever after.

Years later, Drazhr found himself in the region of Tirisfal after hearing rumours that Kel'Thuzad had finally returned. In the town of Brill, his search came to an end. The two spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what had happened in the kingdom in the three years since they had last seen each other. Eventually, the conversation turned to the Kirin Tor and the aligations put against Kel'Thuzad. After Drazhr finally voiced his thoughts on the matter, he was shocked to the core to learn that the tales of living dead created by his master were not only true, but he was planning to use those powers to help create a new world order. It was at that point that he gave Drazhr a choice; join him willingly or serve him in death. Repulsed by what he had heard that day, but realising he was no match for his former master, he chose the hidden third option: to flee. However, he was not quick enough to escape the mad wizard and was killed on the spot. It was then that his body was taken away to be raised again under the Lich King's banner.

Forced into battle against his former allies, Drazhr does not remember this time. His first memory after dying was waking up in a cemetery with a splitting headache. Taking the name of the first tombstone he saw, he did not have long to philosophise about his current state of undeath before being slaved to the will of the dreadlord Balnazzar. This time, however, he was aware of his actions and could still think for himself; he just couldn't control his body. Taking this opportunity to watch his demon master's magic, he remained a slave untill freed by the Dark Lady, to who he swore allegiance.

Faith
Drazhr does not follow any perticular religion. To him, all religions are simply different views on the same reality. As such, he believes it is pointless to choose to believe only one aspect of reality over another.

Relations
Unlike other members of the Horde, Drazhr doesn't seem to have any perticular hatred for the other races of Azeroth. He prefers to judge an individual by their actions, rather than the actions of their race. The one exeption is the race of demons, who he sees as the cause of all the world's problems. He also feels sympathy for the Scourge, as he was just like them at one point, unaware of their situation and without free will.

Personal Notes
Perhaps as a result of his time watching Balnazzar and his demon allies, he has become emotionally dead as well as actually dead. He veiws all emotions (especially hatred which can blind its 'victims' to all sorts of danger) as a form of disease; a weakness to be destroyed. While this outlook can have its advantages, as he no longer feels fear or sorrow, it also means that surges of emotion strong enough for him to feel can overpower him, causing him to break down in the middle of battle or fall into a mindless fury.

He also appears to have a link to the Bronze Dragonflight, as one of its members can often be seen carrying him from place to place. However, he will say what that tie is, leading some to speculate that he is one of their agents.

Current Status
Draz is currently aiding the Earthen Ring to repair the world pillar in Deepholm.
