Full Name and Titles
Liánquith "Lián" Thlae'larn Everbranch of the Everbranch family, Master Demonologist and Goblin Engineer

Nicknames
Lián, Li, Long-ears, Pretty boy, Prissy boy

Physical Traits
He is quite handsome and, judging by how he acts, he is very aware of it.

He is relatively young and acts very much like a teenager, but has aquired much power in his twohundred years and is very serious about demonology and the harnessing and controlling of power. When not discussing serious business, he is often cheerful and very talkative and carries a mischievous glimmer in his bright green eyes.

His way of speaking reflects his posh upbringing to some degree, and while he tries to sound like everyone else, it is most apparent when he tries to converse with more "savage" individuals, such as Trolls. However, most of the poshness disappears almost entirely when he starts talking about engineering.



Background
Born and raised in Silvermoon City, Liánquith was always getting up to mischief of one kind or another. With two spell casting parents and an older spell casting sister, he was surrounded by the art of magic from birth. To him, there is little more natural than harnessing magic powers as it has always been part of his everyday life.

When he was old enough, Liánquith attended the Silvermoon Academy to further his magical studies. There he met a fellow student who was a beautiful young High Elf woman and he instantly fell for her. While he often tried to tell her how he felt about her and made many passes at her, she completely ignored him, thinking he was just acting on his reputation of being a lady's man. She often jokes that she is the only woman from the Academy that he didn't sleep with. While that statement is not true, he did do his share of sleeping around, and Liánquith found himself unable to attain any kind of relationship beyond friendship with the woman. So he continued as he always had, expanding his powers and flirting up ladies.

Twenty years ago, after the Second War, on one of his visits to the other Alliance cities, he came across a Dwarf with a mechanial squirrel in tow. Curious, he asked about it. One question led to the next question, coming in on the topic of how the squirrel actually worked and soon the Dwarven engineer was telling him all about the possibilities of the craft. It was then that Liánquith for the first time started to consider engineering as something more than just Gnome business. The more he listened to the Dwarf explaining the workings and potentials, the more Liánquith wanted to be a part of it. By the time the Dwarf was done talking, Liánquith was his appentice in the craft of engineering, a passion that still holds a strong place in his heart.

While Liánquith wields magical powers with relative ease, he takes it very seriously. Frequently pushing his limits, he never goes beyond his capabilities, as just such a thing cost the lives of his grandparents when he was young. Even so, his constant attempts to expand upon his powers and his natural curiosity eventually led him to explore the demonic arts, especially after the Second War. After hearing of the orcish warlocks and what they had managed to do, he became both frightened and intrigued and felt a strong lust to understand the demonic powers. He reasoned that it would be better to understand them and know how to fight them, than to hide from the knowledge and be defenseless against it.

Family Background
Liánquith Thlae'larn Everbranch comes from a long line of well respected, powerful and wealthy mages.

His parents were Serena Dawnfire and Talrion Everbranch. His father's father was Thlae'larn Everbranch, after whom he is in part named. They are now all dead, sadly.

Still living is his sister, Arlána Everbranch, played by a friend of mine.

Going on his mother's side of the family, his great aunt Helenda Lightglow and great uncle Magarius Dawnfire. They had two children, Serena and Koranith Dawnfire. Koranith married a Meldana Sunbright and they had a son, Liánquith's cousin, Askeren Dawnfire. They have all perished as well, though Koranith returned as a Death Knight.

Though many of the deceased met their end in the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas, Magarius and Helenda died in the Second War, in the dragon fires that burnt down the Ghostlands, and Koranith died eight years after the Scourge invasion, in the Plaguelands.

Their home, located in the far southeast corner of Silvermoon, was mostly untouched by the Scourge and is home to the two living members of the Everbranch family.

Personal Notes
Liánquith has begun realizing just how corrupted his warlock practices have made him. He is attempting to return to his former ways as a fire mage, but can't quite seem to shake the allure of fel and shadow magic.

Guild
Knight and treasurer of the Crimson Sun Brigade

Current Status
Taking it easy.

As a Warlock
Liánquith takes his warlock practices very seriously. He does not befriend his demon minions, nor does he offer himself to them. He dominates them quite fiercely, bending them to his will. He sees them strictly as tools to be used in battle. Beyond this, he respects the power that they wield and he himself strives to greater power so that he may control them better. Whenever he has one summoned, he is always aware of it, where it is and what it's doing.
