Stonehoof is a namesake of his tribe. His parents were both killed during the centaur battles, and so he was never truly named. When he matured enough, he decided to take his tribe as his name, and so he is called. He has fought many battles and lead many conquerings, until he was kidnapped by Scourge and became amnestic for a short time. However, he has regained his strength prior to the Cataclysm, and shortly after it he decides to take arms and fight the forces of chaos.

Champion of Mulgore
Stonehoof was known as the Champion of Mulgore. He protected Bloodhoof Village, Camp Narache, and Thunder Bluff with strength and wisdom. He was a fearless Tauren who strived for nothing other than the safety of his people. If Mulgore had no problems, he moved on to The Barrens, Thousand Needles, and further if need be. However, he was picked on early in life due to his immense size. Oftentimes, Tauren would call him a mindless beast to intimidate and infuriate him. When he grew mature enough, he head into the lands of The Barrens and beyond, eventually becoming strong enough to contemplate heading into Northrend to do battle with the Scourge.

Disappearance and Amnesia
During the the Scourge Invasion, Stonehoof and another Tauren champion canoed out to Northrend. After an excessive amount of time with no contact, they were thought lost forever, until Koltira Deathweaver and Thassarian assaulted a hidden Scourge laboratory. The Scourge had just chained up the amnestic Stonehoof, ready to prepare him for an eternity of unlife. Koltira and Thassarian slaughtered all of the mad scientists and saved Stonehoof, bringing him to Warsong Hold. The Warsong Orcs sent out a zeppelin carrying Stonehoof to Thunder Bluff. After carrying him to Red Cloud Mesa, they believed that due to loss of memory, Stonehoof must retake the Rite of the Earthmother.



Cataclysm
''Come Cataclysm, the Tauren of Mulgore will be literally and metaphorically shaken to their proverbial edges. Garrosh Hellscream, new Warchief of the Horde, duels Cairne Bloodhoof. The latter dies soon after, leaving the Tauren without a chieftain, until Cairne's son, Baine steps up to take the reins. Finding the Grimtotem clan guilty of poisoning Cairne's drinks, Baine drives the clan out of Thunder Bluff. He has built a gate to defend his shattered lands, giving him time to regroup for war with the Alliance. Stonehoof has revisited the aging Krang Stonehoof in hopes of regaining his warrior's edge, hopefully in time to join the battle in the Barrens.''

Stonehoof's Rite was cut short due to the destruction of the quilboar home, and so he head to Bloodhoof Village and beyond, where he has finally gotten back into shape to fight to upcoming threat.
