Ozprey

Name

Ozprey Darkbinder

Ozprey Darkbinder

Physical Traits

A shock of long blond hair stands Ozprey out from most Warlocks, he is in his late twenties and although youth is still on his side, scars of battle are evident on his arms and face. He often looses himself in his thought and can appear to look straight through people, his foes often say he is "eyeing up your soul"

Ozprey also has a false left foot cast from a single bar of Mithril, he lost his real foot as a young boy when he mistakenly tangled with the Merlocs outside Menathil. His false foot has become a part of him and rarely makes itself evident. Although a deep rooted fear of Merlocs will cause Ozprey to shudder just by mentioning thier name.

Background

As a youth Ozprey was thought to be destined to follow the Path of the Light. He was sent to Stormwind at the age of five to the great Cathedral to study. He showed a lot of promise, many of the priest remarked on his astonishing ability to remember and recall vast texts and rituals.

Ozprey however had a mischievous side. This was to prove the turning of his life on to a darker path. It started with what was suppossed to be an innocent prank. The warder in charge of the young priests kept a pet parrot and one day Ozprey decided it would be fun to switch the parrot for a baby Merloc. Coming from Menethil Ozprey knew that just outside the gates there were always plenty of Bluegills camped on the shore, he would go into the camp and snach a young Merloc.

Unfortunately Ozprey only twelve at the time lacked the skill and subtlety to sneak into the Merloc camp and was spotted. He was mauled by the merlock guards and would have been killed. Fortune had it that a Warlock Carl Sorrel was en-route to Menethil to speak to Ozcor, he spotted the commotion and recognised the youth as Ozcors son. He stormed into the camp to rescue him. Fire reigned from the sky and not a single Merloc was left standing. Ozprey was barely conscious his left foot had been severed and he had lost a lot of blood. The warlock carried the boy back to his father.

After a long recovery Ozprey was given a false foot fashioned by Carl out of a single bar of Mithril, he attached the new foot to the youth with leather bindings saying it would always remind Ozprey not to be so foolish again.

Some say it was the a cursed foot that bound Ozprey to the warlock turning the promising young priest to study darker demonic forces, but in truth Ozprey had witnessed awesome power and found a hero and inspiration in the warlock. Little did he know that his hero was one of the most evil men ever to walk the streets of Stormwind.

Carl Sorrell disappeared about six months after the Merloc Incident, Ozpreys father would never speak of him, he had witnessed Carl do something that shocked him to the core and was never the same again turning the once great rouge in to a pale and aging man.

Ozprey has now become a powerful warlock. His memories of his first encounter with a warlock are distorted and he strives to attain the great power he witnessed when Carl rescued him. It is a worry to those around him that his constant search for more power will lead Ozprey to the darkest most dangerous place a Warlock can tread.

Family Background

Ozpreys Mother and Father met during a great storm when they were forced to shelter in Menethil Harbour for several weeks. Ozprey was conceived during that time. It was very much love at first sight, they had planned to make Menethil their home for some reason though, Ozcor left in haste once Lea's pregnancy became apparent. Some say it was because Of his fear of commitment others because of Lea having a brother Sori Darkbinder who was a powerful Warlock with a short temper.

Ozcor later became a member of a gang whose Leader Carl Sorrell is still wanted to this day for crimes committed against the Westfall Militia. Carl disappeared to the underground,but not befor he played an important part in in saving Ozcors young sons life. It was Carl who crafted Ozpreys foot and the folk of Menethil say that its an evil talisman.

Ozcor continued to provide for Ozprey and Lea, the family although living seprated lives are at peace with each other.

Criminal Record

There is a warrent for Ozpreys arrest for endangerment of life and property and public affray outside booty bay, witnesses saw him summon a rouge elemental being with massive destructive power. Dispite the group around him dealing with the rouge elelemtal, officials of booty bay are displeased that the town was put at such risk. The malitia have been informed to arrest on sight, it is not yet known the carges that will be brought against Ozprey or the punishment set aside for him if found guilty

Beliefs

Ozprey Is fiercely loyal to those he calls friends, anyone that has fought by his side will testify he is a warlock of great skill and courage. He does however believe that Warlocks should hold true to their powers and that others should fear and respect them, often displaying public feats of shock and awe, this is mostly showing off due to the vigour of his youth and it is something that older wiser warlocks look down on as Ozprey can sometimes be overwhelmed by power lust. Despite being intelligent and powerful he lacks wisdom, he does not yet know when to walk away or when to run. His early days of training as a priest does mean he is very understanding of those who follow the light even if they are not tolerant of Warlocks.

Current Status

Ozprey Has been captured and subdued by the malitia of booty bay, How they managed to capture ozprey without a fight is not know, but a powerful curse of silence has been placed upon him to prevent any futher criminal acts through his command of demonic forces. Ozprey has had a shearing coller placed around his neck and has been marooned on Janeiro's Point, if he leaves the island without an official guard the coller will decapitate him. His cell mate Mok'rash is a bad tempered giant who tends to keeps unwanted visitors well away from the island. Although Mok'rash is displeased with Ozpreys presence he is not stupid enough to challenge the warlock.
