Akandra Bladeshorn

Name and Title

Akandra Bladeshorn - Stone-Guard of the Horde Forces

Physical Traits

Akandra stands at average height for a female orc, around 6ft. She is slender whilst retaining clear muscle tone.

Her ears are heavily pierced with rings that are tight, almost cutting into the flesh to avoid them jangling against each other.

Akandra's hair is pulled into a high tail and tightly bound with strand leather decorated with a few small stone beads. Akandra is well turned out and usually impeccably clean. She is well groomed but not fussy or particuarly decorative. Her blades are well worn but still with a keen edge, and look far more practical than some of the more decorative ceremonial weapons seen carried. They have clearly been chosen for their merits as an edged weapon than a status accessory. There only detail is the stylized pommels of formed eagle heads with red-stone eyes.

Family

As an orphan of the Internment camps Akandra considers herself a true daughter of the Horde.

Background

Akandra's earliest memories are in the Alliance Internment camp in Arathi Highlands. It was here she first showed a natural aptitude for going un-noticed, and avoiding detection. It never paid to be obvious to the guards.

In her early teens Thrall and Doomhammer and the beginnings of the new horde arrived and lay siege to the Internment Camps. Hers was the last camp to fall, and where Doomhammer also fell. It would later become the horde outpost of Hammerfall.

Akandra was in her mid teens when the horde fled to Kalimdor and claimed Durotar as their own. Over the next few years she trained and served in the Horde forces, battling within Warsong Gulch, serving as a scout aiding the frostwolf at Alterac.

At 18 she was posted to Silithus as the war effort grew, she was there the night the gates of Ahn'Qiraj were opened, and witnessed the horror of the insectoids released upon those who led the push forwards into the city.

Over the years Akandra rose through the ranks to Stone-Guard, serving at many conflicts. More often than not she found herself behind enemy lines either scouting or in pursuit of a key target.

Personal Notes

Akandra fights for her honor. Although many consider her proffesion to be without honor she firmly believes that society, and politics, need their butchers as much as their shepherds. She clings to the fact that everything she does is for the horde.

Although she prefers to operate by stealth and opportunity she is more than capable of holding her own when forced toe-to-toe with an opponant.

Akandra is a fine tactician, able to assess a situation and predict outcomes, rarther than rushing blindly into the fray.
