User:Mathori/Mathori

Mathori is a level 80 male Blood Elf Death Knight who can be seen in various parts of Azeroth mainly Dalaran, Orgrimmar, and various parts of Icecrown. While he is a member of the Horde he does not condone the hostile relations that they share with the Alliance, instead thinking that there a greater threats in the world that should take priority over the quarrels between the two factions.

=History= The sad history and uncertain future of Mathori are understandably difficult to learn about as most of the memories he has of his life he prefers to keep to himself. The following is what's currently known about him.

Early Life
Mathori was born to a family of powerful mages in Silvermoon eleven years before the Scourge invasion. When the invasion began he fled after witnessing his mother and baby sister die before him. As he made his way out of the city he caught a glimpse of his father fighting off the Scourge as best he could but fail and fall to their superior numbers. Fighting back tears he eventually found his way to a camp of other survivors who, presumably, left Quel'Thalas. At this point nothing is known of what happened to Mathori or the other survivors he was with until he reappeared to join the Argent Dawn at the age of 21.

Death
A year after joining the Argent Dawn, Mathori with a group a 5 other paladins went out on a patrol that took them to the outskirts of Corin's Crossing. Mathori warned his companions that they were moving too close to the Scourge infested area and were risking an ambush unless they turned back, but the other paladins shrugged off his comments and pressed on regardless. Not wanting them to go in short a person, Mathori went with them. As they came closer, Mathori felt increasingly uneasy until finally the ambush he had been praying would not come happened. The attack came fast and 2 of the paladins were dragged of their horses and to their deaths within seconds of the fight and before they had time to stave off their attackers only Mathori and one other paladin were left. His last companion was torn asunder by an abomination and Mathori fought as many as he could but his attempts were usless and one of the skeletal creatures plunged a blade through his heart killing him. But this was not the end of Mathori.

Rebirth
After Mathori had been killed he was brought to Acherus and, at the Lich King's command, resurrected into service of the Scourge as a Death Knight. Within a few weeks he had gained knowledge of how to weild his powers and was sent to the assist in the battle of Light's Hope Chapel under Highlord Mograine. During the battle a paladin who had seen Mathori slay his comrades organized some other paladins to subdue Mathori in an attempt to kill him but only managed to restrain him from killing any other Argent Dawn paladins. When they tried to kill him he broke free but was unable to kill them when the Highlord gave the order to stand down.

After Arthas revealed his plan to sacrifice the Knights of the Ebon Blade to defeat the Argent Dawn, Mathori found his way to the Undercity and entered service under the Horde, still unaware of his past. Having retained the knowledge that he was a High Elf before he became a Death Knight, he departed for Silvermoon City in hopes of discovering more about his people and himself.

=Return to Silvermoon=

When Mathori arrived in Silvermoon City he was horrified to see parts of city had been destroyed. When he found out that Arthas was responsible for the near annihilation of his people he made a personal vow to make sure Arthas was defeated. As he poked around Silvermoon in search of someone who might recognize him he met a mage named Jassticus who claimed to remember his name from his childhood explaining that they had been friends when they were younger. After hearing the mage's tale, Mathori's memories had flooded back into his memory and he left the city disgraced from thinking of the horrible crimes he had done with the Scourge.

Search for Redemption
Upon leaving Silvermoon Mathori wished to right his wrongs and seek to redeem himself in the eyes of his peers. He traveled to Orgrimmar and enlisted in the Horde Expedition to Northrend. He was sent to Warsong Hold to help establish a forward base for the Horde forces and help defend against the inital attacks from the Scourge. While in Borean Tundra, Mathori heard rumors of a powerful Scourge artifact that was useful in necromancy. Thinking that claiming this tool in the name of Silvermoon might help make up for his past sins, Mathori set out to find it. Eventually his path lead him to a necropolis that was infested with Neurbians, mindless zombies, and skeletal warriors. He decided that stealth was his best option against such odds.

After sneaking into the unholy construct he searched around for the artifact and at last found it. It was a small amulet but he could feel its power radiate off of it. Quickly he snatched the amulet and fled the necropolis back to Quel' Thalas. When he arrived back in Silvermoon City he went before the Regent Lord himself and presented the amulet but Lor'Themar refused to accept it saying that the Blood Elves will never dabble with necromancy. Outraged out the statement Mathori once again left Silvermoon, this time disgusted and outraged.

=Current Life=

After his departure from Silvermoon, Mathori went off the map and is rumored to be searching for a dark relic to further his own ambition.
