Family
Currently has no known family left. However, in the lores and cronicles about Ravenhart this is not confirmed as his original family was a nomadic tribe and could well be still alive. Family of the Khanzis clan can be recognized by warrior and marksmen professions along with dark/black hair bound in a tail on their head. They only had a handfull of members that where able to cast larger magic powers then the avarage Nightelf. Although not being as one with nature as their fellow Nightelfs further north of Stonetalon they had deep respect for natures circle of life and sought to maintain its balance.

The Taurens to the south have allied with the Khanzis clan multible times in their raids against Centaurs and dark cults located in Desolas. Their incredible strenght and endurance has rubbed off on the Khanzis clan during the millenia's of their relationship as well as in return the Nightelfs agil moving and accuracy on the Tauren tribes. Only in the last few centuries the alliance between these families have dissapeared when the black Taurens of the Grimtotem Clan launched a massive assault on other tribes splitting the connection between the Nightelfs and Taurens.

Background
Stories and tales about Ravenhart Valis Khanzis date back fourthousand years ago during a time of prosparity amongst the Nightelf clans and families. His age would date back even further around six thousand years ago. Starting off as the clanchief's son he lived under the name Raffa Valis Khanzis. Cercalis Adonis Khanzis, his father, was a harsh man raising his son with pure disciplin and learning his young-one to tame his furry that ran through his family's blood. By the stories of the druids in the north of Stonetalon he was a handsom young man, charming and romantic. Females of various races have had their share of adventure with him... but that changed.

At the age of 2114 he began to have nightmares which became more realistic every time and more frequent every year. Driven mad by the nightmares one night he grabbed his ridingsaber Djar and drove away from the camp into the passage between Stonetalon and Desolace. There he met a raven who convinced him of his chosen destany he had to seek out in the wide world out there. Uppon leaving the raven left a gift, the runesword Sin. At that time it looked like a dull grey sword with run carvings on it but as it ran through the flesh and blood of foes it began to gain strength... and Raffa along with it...

Whispering voices quickly saught their way into Raffa's mind and taught him many secrets the lands around him held. Fighting at first for good intends to protect the innocents he later on found out that those he protected died along with the foes he slayed. Alone... he traveled for millenia through Khalimdor butchering and sacking towns, villages and camps the voices in his head wanted him to do. The brightness of these voices managed to convince the now new warlord of these lands that they where Elune, guiding him to bring judgement on those seeking to destroy the world.

Around 1500 B.H. (Before the fall of Hyjal) according to history books he dissapeared. Having cleaved and paved a path of corpses and burning homes, the one-man-army seazed his crusade. Pigmen and Centaurs still have tales conserved in their tribal logs about a "ghost in dark armor and a sword who's sight made any fiers clanchief's heart crawl of fear". No where in the logs they mention him speaking or making a show of his arrival or deeds. Only that he walked in, straight to his goal, slice it down like it was nothing special along with anyone even concidering standing in his way, walking out and dissapearing into the shadows.

The first next log entry found about this man was surpricingly in Southshore, one and a half year A.H., where a dairy of a young human male writer by the name Sefron Siegfield described a tall man with pointy ears, heavily armed and in dark armor sat down for a drink at the bar.

-"A dwarf, presumebly hunter by proffesion, seems to speak to this dark stranger. The stranger on his turn first seems not intrested in the dwarfs words but after urging he now looks up like he's surpriced."-

This entry confirms along with rumors that Raffa Khanzis joined a party of hunters in a rescue mission around the former Human Capital to find survivors and return them to Southshore. One of the accompanied hunters told later on that they found two children who where being ambushed by two undead rogues. The little girls went by the name Amada and Sarah, the first became a powerfull paladin in the order of the Crimson Light, the other a powerfull icemage in the same order. It appears the spark in Amada's eyes had stirred the deep, heartless depths of Raffa Khanzis and made him go on a rampage through Scourge camps through the north of the Eastern Kingdoms. After a while he once again dissapears from the records...

Then a month later in the forests of Teldrassil a mansize cocoon was dropped of by a large raven near Dolanaar. From it awoke what later-on appeared to be the incarnation of Raffa Khanzis, armorless and without Sin... Uppon leaving the raven left a feather on the chest of the new born man giving him his new and current name... Ravenhart, misspelled by excident during registrating his name in the register for his bad grammar.

Growing into a skilled marksman Ravenhart was known as one of Silverwing's finest snipers during the battles against the Warsong Clan. Through the years he learned allot about his former life and began to regain his former identity aswell. Dissapearing from the records once again, gnomish scouts in what is now the Plaguelands confirm he wore a dark-green armor and was well armed marching along with countless others in the same outfits against a large Scourge bastion hidden in the mountains. This unknown group of soldiers where known as the Green Legion that where set up for one goal: Destruction of the Scourge with fire against fire brutal tactics.

After the bloody battle in Plague Deeps the Scourge where indeed set back in their plans to steamroll the Argent Crusade in a moment of unawareness, Ravenhart's sergeant Lintho Flameblade (a human warrior) had betrayed the Green Legion in his grief for the loss of almost the entire Legion during that campain. With the help of a necromancer he attempted to ressurect his bretheren to strike once more at the Scourge. Arriving to late at the scene and the risen comrads surpricingly turning against them, Ravenhart along with both his sergeants Feramis (an old fire mage) and Lintho fought fiersly. Seeing no way out, Feramis used his last power to selfdestruct scorching with devistating heat an area the size of half Stormwind.

Lintho was presumed to have died in those flames, as for Ravenhart... Long distand scoping the gnomish scouts saw how an iceblock had formed around the half burned body of Ravenhart. Later on during the battle of Light's Hope Chappel he was free'd from the Lich King's bond and now roams free amongst the Alliance.

Although Ravenhart now being a fraction of the power he had in his former life he still has his memories sharply of all his deeds and knowlage during that lifetime. It is currently known that he has no own agenda besides the orders of his guildmaster and those that hire him for the extra firepower in dangerous places. (NEW) However he does wear marks resembling with the marks of an ancient order called the Sajuuk Radah. There's nothing known about their agenda but all members have one thing in common: experienced Death Knights with a just as big of history file as Ravenhart.

Still having his charming looks one can tell he is a cold one though and perhaps not as romantic as he use to be. Having layed more lifes in the dirt for the bugs and maggots to eat then any of his kind, dueling or crossing him would not be adviced.

Once he has found his original runesword Sin he will restore much of his lost power. Hopefully for his enemies this will not occure... Defeating him for a very long time would be to destroy his current runeblade Synix granted during his succesfull service in the Ebon Hold.
