=Biography=

The Third War
Born in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Reiden is the youngest of the four children of James Waylorn, the patriarch of House Waylorn, one of the major noble families in Lordaeron prior to its collapse. Devoted to his homeland, Reiden enlisted in the military during the Third War as a Footman under the command of Prince Arthas Menethil. Reiden would follow the Prince loyally until the defeat of Mal'ganis, where he fled back to Lordaeron, terrified of what he had seen the Prince do, specifically in the Culling of Stratholme. When he returned home, he found his hometown to have received a shipment of plagued grain, and in fear that his family would soon die and turn to the Scourge, he proceeded to cull the village, following in the footsteps of the Prince. Included in the deaths of multiple innocents were his own family members. Horrified that he had followed the same path and did the same horrifying act that his once idol Prince had, he fled south to Stormwind.

As Part of the Cut Throat Cartel
Down on his luck, Reiden was forced into thievery, where he quickly met Pabblo Sutol and joined him in the creation of a Stormwind street gang, the Cut Throat Cartel. Operating as a drug trafficking and sales gang in Stormwind City, Reiden quickly amassed power and became a large figure in society. Having inherited much of the estate of his parents, the additional wealth from underground activities quickly pushed Reiden into a leading figure of Stormwind. Yet his own conflicting emotions as well as issues in his personal life concerning family and his then wife, Artimecia Nightlust who had cheated on him numerous times, caused him to despise his new easy life. Reiden left Stormwind to get away from the bad atmosphere.

As Part of the Cult of the Damned
Reiden returned to Lordaeron where he devoted himself to his fallen Kingdom, and specifically his fallen Prince. Pledging eternal loyalty, Reiden became one of the Scourge's most devout followers. He returned to Stormwind, slew his brother, and met Necro-Lord Plagueheart. They joined forces as two of the earliest agents of the Cult of the Damned in Stormwind. His battle record while a member of the Cult of the Damned was extremely impressive, always winning every engagement he ever fought. This along with other consistent successes helped Reiden excel in the ranks of the Scourge, and Reiden quickly took over as Darkmaster of the Stormwind Scholomance, a failed plan by the Cult to create a second Scholomance in the not yet taken Kingdom.

Reiden attended a summit for the Cult held at Icecrown Citadel to discuss its future. He attended on behalf of the Necro-Lord, and was honored by the Lich King when he was given his own name: Lord Maldazzar. For his undying loyalty to the cause where even his Necro-Lord had faltered, Reiden was promoted by his master to the rank of Herald of the Scourge, a rank used to deliver the word of the Scourge to all agents of the Lich King in the Stormwind Kingdom.

Over the course of his membership in the Cult of the Damned, Reiden entered a relationship with then fellow cultist Desitae Alistar. Whether or not there were any real emotions that Reiden had for her are left up for interpretation, but he would sell her out in a second if it meant furthering his goals to prove himself to the Lich King.

Ascending to Higher Scourge Powers
With the downfall of Necro-Lord Apolyon Plagueheart, who in his final moments freed himself of a Scourge influence, Lord Maldazzar sold out his fellow cultists to save face with the Lich King, blaming them for being traitors to the cause. This proved to help him yet again as he was once again promoted. Lord Maldazzar was promoted to being the Harbinger, a new title for the former Necro-Lord position. With his new position came even greater powers as Maldazzar would now oversee the future of the Scourging of Stormwind.

After the Lich King's Fall
When Arthas Menethil was killed, Maldazzar took flight and vanished mysteriously. He was not seen in Stormwind afterward, though someone fitting his description was reported in the Plaguelands. Maldazzar himself remains true to the cause, and seems to spend most of his time planning.

=Combat Tactics=

Being made up of the strength and speed of physical combat that was Reiden Waylorn's prowess and his own powerful magical capabilities, Lord Maldazzar is a very dangerous foe. Below are a few of the skills he is known to use in combat:

Master Death Knight - Maldazzar has access to the spells and abilities known to Death Knights of all talent specializations.

Shadow Shimmer - Maldazzar can teleport short distances by fading into the shadows. He primarily uses this as an escape mechanic.

Coils - Typically in the form of the unholy death coil, Maldazzar can use bolts of magic from the shadow and arcane schools.

Alter of Darkness - Upon his death, Lord Maldazzar will be revived to serve again. Cannot happen if the Heart of Reiden Waylorn or if Deathscorn is destroyed.

Deathscorn, the Rider of Death - Maldazzar's runeblade. It holds the souls of all of his former victims. Formerly one of the blades of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It holds the soul of Reiden Waylorn.
