Sarithan

Name
Sarithan Silverwood

Also known as Sari

Physical Traits
At a glance, Sarithan is much like the others of his kind. His body is slim and athletic, yet muscular at the same time, with a thin black moustache and even longer black hair, which is usually tied back with what appears to be an ornate-looking ring. Sarithan is very protective of this ring, and can last out at those who touch it without his permision.

His companion, Fang, is a young grey wolf. Like Sarithan, Fang looks very much like others of his kind. However, the canines of his upper jaw are larger and sharper than normal, giving him his name.

Race and Class
Human Hunter

Fighting Style
Given his training, he is most at home fighting at long range with either a bow or gun, although he also carries a sword for melee fights. His companion and best friend 'Fang' also fight alongside him with tooth and claw.

Occupation
During the second war, he served as an archer for the Alliance army. This service continued untill the begining of the third war, where he was dishonourably discharged by Prince Arthas. Since that time, he has acted as a mercenary. Usually hired by the Allaince, he spends his time going where he is needeed most.

Since his discharge, he also began training as an engineer, learning how to maintain his weapons and other tools.

Family
Sarithan's father was a hunter, who lived of the land by selling pelts and skins. he died at the hands of the Horde during the second war. His mother, however, contracted a fatal disease and died when he was still a child. The rest of his family is said to have died at the hands of the Scourge, although it is rumoured that a few escaped.

During his travels to escape the Scourge, he came across a lone wolf fighting for his life. After saving its life, Sari found the wolf followed him everywhere, and eventually took him on as his permenant companion. The two have been inseparable ever since.

Background
Born in the Tirisfal Glades before the second war, Sarithan lived the typical life of a child of Lordaeron. When he wasn't playing with his friends and family, he was helping his father hunt in the forest. As he grew up, he became quite proficciant with the bow, capable of hunting vertually anything in the area with ease. As his 16th brithday came close, he came to the desicion that he wanted nothing more than to protect his home from the orcs who had pillaged Stormwind city to the south. Realising that the relative 'peace' between the Allaince and Horde would not last long, he joined the army as an archer, rationalising that he could help them stop the the Orcs from ever setting foot in his home.

3 years after this decision, the Orcs attacked. Although Sari fought with all his skill and Alliance training, he was forced to fall back under the Horde's onslaught. Constanly having to retreat from the enemy, and having watched many of his new friends die, Sarithan began to wonder if his joining the army had all been for nothing, and if he hadn't been better of spending the last few years just being with his family. However, word reached him that the Elves had been attacked directly, and were now fully committed to the war. Bolsterd by elven allies, Sari was redeplolyed to Hinterlands, where he helped end the invasion of Lordaeron. However, the victory was cut short when word reached tht Lordaeron itself was under siege. While Sari arrived to late to save his family, he took part in the cleanup of the remaining horde forces in the area. His lust for vengeance unsated, he immediatly voluntered to join the siege of Blackrock, and then the battle of The Great Portal. With the war over, Sari was given time to grieve for those lost.

He remained in service for many years, where he spent his time putting down orc rebellions, before being assigned to the command of Prince Arthas himself. Joining the prince in his mission to investigate the plague that gripped the northern lands, he fought his way through the infected town of Andorhal to stop the spread of its plagued grain, as well as surviving the defence of Hearthglen from the vile undead. When they arrived at Stratholme, however, he sides with Uther by refusing to purge the city. For this, he was dishonourably discharged from the army. While Arthas and the rest of his forces let for Northrend, he wandered the land as a mercenary for a time, offering his services for any who could pay for them. When word of the Kings death and the hands of his son, and the rising threat of the undead, Sarithan fled to Stormwind, which had been rebuilt. There he remained until the end of the third war, when he began to travel to the worst affected areas where he was needed most

Faith
Sarithan was once an avid follower of the Holy Light, taught to him by his own father. However, since his fathers death at the hands of the orcs, he has lost his faith, abandoning it as he believes it abandoned his family.

Relations
Due to the events of the second and third war, Sarithan has an great hatred for the Orcs, Trolls and all forms of the Undead. He also has little respect for the Blood Elves after they left the Alliance for the Horde, as well as the goblins who, as Sari puts it, would 'backstab their own grandmother for the silver in her hair'. The tauren, intrigue him however, as they seem to honourable and peaceful to be part of the Horde.

Personal Notes
It is rumoured that the ring in his hair was a wedding ring he bought for his sweetheart. It is also said that he had just been given leave to propose to her when Lordaeron was besieged, where she was killed by orcs. Either way, he does not speak of it, usually becoming very quiet when it is mentioned.

Current Status
Sarithan is currently contracted by the Alliance to help their forces in Westfall.
