User:ShingenWoW/Shingen

A noble Night Elf, born from a virgin orc female. Shingen was abandon at birth during the first war of Azeroth by his mother. The Night Elf Queen Azshara heard the infant cry in the battlefield and took Shingen in as her own son. Shingen became the first to follow the teaching of Malfurion Stormrage. Shingen was the first Night Elf to wield the Perdition Blade and Bloodfang armor set. During his servitude to Malfurion Stormrage, Shingen was known as the greatest assassin to walk amongst his race.

Shingen also assisted Malfurion in taming the darkened Illidan for 10,000 years, learning the wicked skill of twin blades, and later becoming one of land's most experienced stealth fighters.

During the great battle at Mount Hyjal, Shingen lead the Night Elves to victory but not without paying a price. Shingen was injured during the battle trying to save Malfurion from the Lich King's curse. The injury is visible as Shingen's hair has been totally blended grey.

Shingen along with the Night Elves are now trying to rebuild what was lost after the battle with Archimonde at Mount Hyjal. In destroying Nordrassil to prevent the return of the Burning Legion, the Night Elves made the ultimate sacrifice: that of their immortality.

Shingen now support Tyrande Whisperwind and Arch-Druid Fandral Staghelm, who are the leaders of the Night Elves in the absent of Shan'do Stormrage.
