Beeron

Name
Beeron

Physical Traits
Beeron is what many would consider the quintessential Tauren. Covered in dark grey fur, his large body is quite muscular, even for a Tauren. This is hightened by his warrior training, during which one of his long black horns was broken off, leading to an almost lop-sided look about him. His gaze is unusually stern, even amongst what few friends he has, while his voice has a commanding edge to it, like a commander ordering his troops. he's also quite stubborn at times, often refusing to back down over the smallest details of a plan.

A calm individual, Beeron stands proud and strides with a purpose not usually seen in others. Even in battle, he remains collected at all times, striking with precision even while letting out his rage. While many Tauren have their long hair braided, Bee has learnt first hand how good of a handhold it presents the enemy in combat. As such, he keeps it short at all times. Dispite this, he wears a nose ring, as it was a rite-of-passage gift, and marks him out as a warrior of respect.

Race and Class
Tauren Warrior

Fighting Style
Beeron fights with a mace in each hand, using his natural size and strength to quite literally hammer his way through the enemy ranks. Once in the think of the fight, he channels the inner rage using methodstaught to him by the Grimtotem, turning him into a living battering ram. While this method of fighting can be devastating in battle, he must always be careful that he never allows his fury to take control of his actions, or he would risk losing himself. Sometimes, however, even he can tell when simply charging into the fight will get him injured. In those times, he often chooses to use a rifle to pick off outlying defenders, thining their ranks until their ready to be crushed.

Occupation
As part of his training, Beeron had to improve his strength by mining ores and then creating weapons from them. Dispite severing his ties to the Grimtotem, he continues to use the skills they taught him for the benefit of the entire Tauren race.

Family
Originally, Bee was born into the Grimtotem clan. However, since siding with Baine Bloodhoof for control of Thunder Bluff, he is effectivly banished from the clan.

Background
Beeron was born to the Grimtotem clan in the city of Thunder Bluff. Recieving a typical Grimtotem upbringing, he was taught that all other races in Kalimdor had no right to be there, and must be purged from the land. He was also taught that any who disagreed were traitors to the Tauren way and must also die, even other Tauren. Not knowing any better at the time, he believed every word fed to him by his mother and made few friends as a result. Instead, he sought to one day lead the fight against the invaders and make his clan proud, training every day to become a mighty warrior.

As he grew, he began to become well known within the clan. During this time, he took part in raids on Centaur, Gnoll and even Orc settlements, slaying those who crossed his path. Not even fellow Tauren were safe, as hebelieved that any Tauren who did not live in a Tauren settlement was a traitor to his or her own kind, and should be purged from the land. He did many things he now regrets, but back then it seemed the right thing to do. All that changed one dark, stormy night because of a dream. In it, Bee saw Tauren working with the Orcs, Trolls and other members of the Horde, and they prospered. Then he saw a barren wasteland, with all plant life gone and the stench of death all around. Somehow, he know that the Grimtotem was to blame for this. Waking in a sweat, Bee was confused as to the dream's meaning. All his life, he had only ever known the Grimtotem way; the way his mother taught him from birth. Had he been wrong all this time? At first, he simply dismissed the idea as stupid, but eventually doubt began to spread in his mind. Keeping his dream to himself, he carried on with his life.

Months later, word reached Beeron of Cairne Blodhoof's death in a duel with the new Horde Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream, and that Magatha Grimtotem had ordered the Grimtotem to take control of Thunder Bluff. Enraged at the Orc's action, he was about to cheer when the images of the dream appeared in his head. With them came a question: was there something more to this, something hidden from view? Resolving to find out more, he eventually discovered that Magatha had poisoned the Warchief's blade before the duel, making her respinsible for Cairne's death! His strange dream suddenly making sense in his head, Beeron decided that she needed to be stopped. Forsaking his clan, he fled Thunder Bluff to join Baine's growing army in Ratchet. Marching back into Thunder Bluff at his Chieften's side, he fought against his former borthers and helped free the city from Magatha's grip. Without a clan to return to, Bee dropped his clan name and was granted forgivness for his crimes against the Tauren by Baine.

Faith
Like most other Tauren, Beeron follows Shamanism. However, while he cannot talk to the spirits at will like the shamans of his people can, he believes that his fateful dream may have been the spirits of his ansestors trying to guide him.

Relations
A warior at heart, he approves of the marital practices of his Orcish allies, dispite his upbringing. He also finds the diminutive Gnomes and Goblins amusing in a squishy sort of way. However, is distrustful of the Blood Elves, as their willingness to consume fel magic cannot be a good sign.

Also, dispite siding with Baine Bloodhoof against his own clan, the rest of the Tauren race treat him with suspicion, no doubt believing he is part of a plot by Magatha to keep a spy in Thunder Bluff. Dispite feeling his honour is constantly at stake, he does not blame them for being cautious.

Personal Notes
Although no longer associated with the Grimtotem clan, old habits are hard to break. As such, he tends to be less friendly when dealing with other races. Also, spending long periods of time at a non-Tauren settlement makes him restless.

Current Status
Beeron is currently helping drive out the last remenents of the Grimtotem clan from Mulgore
