Thenno Manewind

Thenno Manewind in an Archmage of the Kirin Tor. He's normally found in Dalaran until recently.

Purple hat.

Background
Born into a rich family, Thenno was raised almost at birth to become a mage. He caught on well, becoming particularly good at illusions and ways of getting from one place to another. When he was old enough, he was sent to Dalaran to learn more of the magic-stuff, as his father apparently said.

Thenno did quite well for himself there, and somehow ended up in the Kirin Tor. He became one of the many Archmages there. Thenno eventually became an incredibly powerful mage, being able to do many... magical... things. When the Undead invaded Quel'Thalas, it's known that Thenno tried his best to make sure as many people as possible survived, specifically him. You see, by now, Thenno has realised that the only way to survive this increasingly dangerous life is to keep running (much like that little-known "wizzard"-guy who helped in a library somewhere a few years ago. He liked apes). As such, he is a practiced coward. Either way, Thenno had unfortunate luck of being hospitalised for quite a while in Stormwind, as requested by him.

After much strife Thenno was eventually able to get his life back to stability, which is quite unfortunate because soon after the Lich King was killed the world blew up.

He'd gone off to the Barrens to try to hide from the worst of it, too... The poor git.

He can nowadays be found living in Thunder Bluff, recouperating his injuries and emotional scars. Gone is his fancy robe and hat, his staff now in an old suitcase. He's settled down happily with a shirt and trousers and a new, if very, very different, home.

Despite his attempts at leaving magic behind for at least a while, he has found himself the de-facto teacher of the Orc Vrakkur, who after a doubtlessly long and complicated state of affairs is inside a body that knows magic while he himself does not.

It's complicated.
