"In the act of observing others, you can find and recognize one's self."
The Demon
“His curse is that he will never know true content or satisfaction”
Mal’akor, who exists only to cause Discord among the other races, bears bitter resentment for them than any other of his kind and treats them in the most personal and heartfelt manner. His hatred for them has an immense emotional and personal foundation greater than any of his siblings. But can easily be set off by insults due to his ego thus causing him to make mistakes.
Mal'akor's past is mysterious and, by all indications, he prefers it that way. What is known is that he is one of the oldest of his kind, the Gan'arg, one of the Firstborn. Before the demons was established, during the time the demons ran amok. He was the closest thing they had to a crafter and it was suggested that the weapons crafted were made of metal meshed with sinew, organs, flesh, and souls. Far more powerful than they had ever known before.
In his later years, Mal'akor traveled alone at the wastelands of the conquered and ruined homeworld of the Orcs. Salvaging what remained of relics and resources. But ironically, it was there that he was ambushed and butchered by an demon hunter scouting party.
Having his corpse and possessions used for the organization's goals.

The Almighty
And yet, here he is. Giving away what he held most precious to those who value it no more than fire values the ashes it leaves behind. With each incarnation, he shaves away pieces of his identity with every task assigned by Fate. Maintaining the balance between the cosmic scales for untold years as he continued to serve unbeknownst to him.
Despite the benefits of the position, Zevrad was displeased under the yoke of servitude when he was made aware. So it was that he would show traitorous behaviors with his dark lust of power, envy and defiant nature. His chaotic defiance grew and consumed him entirely after he discovered the perverted system that replaced the natural order.
Zevrad then desired to break the shackles of his role, a course that would bring upon countless calamities. He cursed his identity and began a rebellion that historians would name as the Discordian Heresy.

The Steed of Disorder
Zevrad beheld a Stallion that he had physically transformed from a hazy dust brown to demonic flesh and bone to reflect himself. The process was beyond flesh as it was a sort of chemistry for it was a meeting of volatile energies as if consumed by fire. The Steed was named Defiance based on his actions before his dying breath and, through the use of the Dark Heart Seal, Zevrad was ironically able to enslave the creature with unquestionable loyalty.
The steed would be summoned whenever Zevrad had to traverse long distances or during the battle of an open field. This allows him to kill in an efficient manner as he uses his weapon to cut down any enemy that stands in his way.
NOTE: The Fel energies coursing throughout his body allows Defiance to ride within the skies and come back from the dead through Memento Mori or the Twisting Nether.

The Daughter
"The world keeps taking them all away, Uncle. Everything hurts. I'm not going to let it all just be take take take. I won't let you be taken too. Papa was the same, and I am his daughter. I have to fight to ensure this world... stops taking from me." -Edis to Michita
Her years of isolation and loss in memory affected Edis into becoming reserved towards others during the first few months. However, this eventually phases away as her childlike spirit was demonstrated as her curiosity grew. Allowing her to become unafraid when interacting with others and the objects to her surroundings. This was seen during an event at the Human City of the Stormwind Market, as she wanted to taste the various delicacies offered.
She is normally a happy child who is kind to others when she engages in a conversation with others, believing that she and her father should help people whenever possible. This naive nature has made her somewhat careless as she does not consider her surroundings or the situation when danger occurs due to her lack of experience. For instance, she greets a wild bear in the woods which resulted in her and Zevrad being attacked by it.
Edis has many flaws as a youth and lack of experiences as she greatly dislikes violence as she fears the concept of killing. Throughout their journey, Edis would flinch, hesitate, or hide as she covers her eyes and ears whenever Zevrad would protect them from danger against other creatures or people. At one point it caused her to run away from him as she called him a monster when he killed some bandits that ambushed them on the road.
It was when Zevrad took off his mask and explained to her the lessons of life that she began to understand the common sense and savage nature of reality. Slowly, she would mature as she reflects on the consequences of her actions and the lessons being taught to her. She has much to learn and experience and would continue her travels with The Lady and The Hound.
“I spent most of my time alone. For many years, I pretended that this was the source of my strength. I told myself that I had free will, and in that, I had achieved a great deal. Crafted many things but never was I fulfilled. I was longing for a connection that I could imagine, but could not create. Searching and not finding. Until Edis, until I discovered love. The sense of power and freedom that she brought me. But beyond that, I realized the great lie, at the heart of love. That what I took as true freedom was precisely the reverse. You can build a prison of metal and magic but, in truth, you only present the prisoner with a challenge. Any truly determined being could find a way out, but love. Love is the perfect prison. Unpredictable, unexpected, insufferable, inescapable. And if these things helped me protect Edis, then they are nothing to me. I will do what I must."

Lady and the Hound
"He rarely speaks, but he does not have to. I can see all he wishes to convey through his eyes, his heart, and his obvious affection."
-Lady Eve Emberbane, Lady of the Hound.

"Long ago a young elven child cast into nobility and defined by beauty was exiled from her homeland. She came across a beast without a purpose, lost and uncertain of what destiny had in store for him. If he had no purpose... why not give him one? Unable to defend herself in this world of Azeroth, she peered at the beast from across a river and smiled. Would you protect me she asked? The beast stood for a time and eventually, only nodded back. He... was grateful"
-Michita Atiel Royal, Hound of the Lady.
The Worgen Michita Atiel Royal and his Ren'dorei companion, Eve Ariel Emberbane, saved Zevrad's life on multiple occasions during the events of the Legion. They first met at Dalaran's hospital where Zevrad woke up from his coma and found that they were the ones who brought him back to safety. Their interaction was awkward at first but, as the day passed, signs of friendship started to blossom due to their kindness. Together, they banded together with the forces of Azeroth to push back the armies of the Burning Legion at the Broken Isles, the Tomb of Sargeras, and finally Argus. Their constant cooperation had brought forth the understanding of companionship to Zevrad. Something that he had never once felt before.
The Lost Wanderer
Art by KylePunkArt (02/23/2020)
Alkamaeus was a Death Knight whose sole purpose was the annihilation of the followers of the Lich King. For years, a female Orc with the alias, Doom, was his comrade throughout his early years as a wanderer. Together they embarked on a mission to defeat Rhayleth Iores during the Iron Orc invasion and attempted to annihilate The Banshee Queen.
They succeeded in pushing Rhayleth back but failed in their attempt against The Banshee Queen. With her mission half-complete, Doom laid down her blade and returned to her homeland feeling that she had completed all that she could. It was afterward that Michita and Alkamaeus had met and it was through Michita that Zevrad had met the Death Knight.
The two were comrades and nothing more outside of battlefield. They rarely spoke, but the two trusted each other with their lives during the demonic invasion. Sadly, it would come to an end as Alkameus sacrificed himself saving the civilians within the Capital City of the Night Elves. Zevrad would never get over his death and would remember him in his private moments as a man worthy of his admiration.
The Apparition
Zevrad has been having recurring dreams and visions of an apparition that is familiar yet foreign to him. What appears to be an elf with black hair and blue eyes is actually the form of the Lorepheus' deceased wife, Senrisa Moonspeaker.
He would experience these dreams on various nights with each dream being either an old memory or a new one. Sometimes, however, these dreams would have a sudden shift from a dream to a nightmare.
These events can be considered a blessing or a curse for Zevrad since each experience tears at his emotions. Affecting him to become mentally unstable due to the cause for him to feel the passion of love or the pain of guilt.
It was later discovered that this Senrisa was not what she appeared to be as she had used him for her own self-gain, causing Zevrad to be forced into the service of a fate that was no longer his own.

The Wildmist
Born in a humble fishing village along the Darkshore coast, Lulusa discovered an innate connection to the natural world at an early age.
Her parents, sensing the latent potential within their daughter, sent Lulusa away to study under the druidic arts at Moonglade, where she rapidly progressed through her studies thanks to her inquisitive nature and irrepressible spirit. However, the young night elf sensed a greater destiny that awaited her outside the Kaldorei borders, and she yearned to expand her horizons as well as help heal Azeroth from the wounds of war.
The opportunity to do so would arrive unexpectedly when she crossed paths with Talmat, a Draenei ambassador who served as an intermediary between his own people and the mystical floating city of Dalaran. Like many before him who had crossed Lulusa's path, he quickly sensed the night elf's courageous character and recruited her to his cause. Their stated mission: to assist the Alliance by uniting the many disparate and disadvantaged peoples of the world under its banner.
It was during the demonic invasion, when the World Tree of the Broken Isles became corrupted, that Lulusa encountered Zevrad. There they formed a party with the goal to cleanse the tree and fend off the invaders to restore balance to nature. This arduous event formed a bond of companionship where the two would rely on the each other come future events.
For one would fulfill where the other lacks.

The Memory
The woman appeared weak and malnourished but her natural beauty could not be fully hidden from the naked eye. As she had long silky and silvery hair that reached down her upper back, fair skin rarely seen and beautiful silvery eyes. When witnessing her figure, one could not help but wander what happened to her?
There is no greater sacrifice in this world than the sacrifice of a mother caring for her child. The child would normally be like any other as he would be ignorant of what was given unconditionally as she carried and cared for him for nine months. Showering him with love while waiting patiently for him to come into this world and, despite being born weak and flawed, she still accepted him as she nurtured him to have a
normal life.
The sleepless nights she stayed up worrying about his health so that she knew that he was safe while attending to his every need were countless. During the day, she would make sure that they lived within acceptable living conditions as she tried to keep the house clean until she would again be by his side especially during the times he became sick or the time he was injured. For the mother's love knew no bounds.
Every day she would be preoccupied with raising her child and working as a single mother. She would eventually work up to 18 hours every day when her child became older and independent, not taking a bit of time off since before giving birth. She had no money and no job when her deceased husband tragically died, leaving her and the child behind.
A normal housewife, unexperienced with working a normal trade. Whenever she was with others, she would have a warm smile like nothing was wrong with the world but her smile would quickly fade behind closed doors. Nonetheless, she persevered because she knew that she had to take care of the only important person in her life.

The Gloominous
Lushlux Gloominous was an Elven outcast whose past remains a mystery to this day. Kind, gentle, sweet, and cheerful despite her mental tribulations. Her generous, trusting, and helpful nature can cause her trouble as other people may take advantage of her kindness. However, when situations like that occur, she has learned from these experiences allowing her to mature and grow independently.
Lushlux is sensitive and soft-spoken but can be energetic and stern as she grew comfortable with her environment as shown when she scolded Zevrad. She is motherly and compassionate as she delights in maintaing the house owned by Zevrad in a neat and orderly manner along with the woodland creatures.
There she enjoys her hermit life away from conflicts and war.
