Biography
Harold Wits was born in Sunnyglade during the years before the First War. When he was twenty, the orcs began their attacks upon Azeroth. He joined the Azeroth Army as a member of the Eleventh Infantry Company. When his company was sent into the Deadmines to find Anduin Lothar, Harold followed. Harold became good friends with another soldier named Abraham Magicus, the eleventh company's conjuror within the mines. Anduin Lothar was sent soon after to get rid of the mad wizard Medivh who resided in the tower of Karazhan within Deadwind Pass. Lothar chose the Eleventh, Tenth, and Ninth companies to come with him into the tower. When Harold left the tower he was a changed man, evil beings resided deep within the hellish dungeons of the tower and the mad warlock Medivh himself resided at the bottom. Harold, Abraham, Lothar, Khadgar, and all the other survivors of the battles within Karazhan headed for Stormwind Keep, when they arrived they found it a smoldering ruin. Lothar rallied the surviving humans of the kingdom and set out towards Khaz Modan. Abraham died in the Redridge Mountains when orcs attacked them, Harold buried his friend and then set off with the other survivors. The survivors bought boats from a group of goblin shipwrights and headed for the town of Southshore, a township of Lordaeron. Harold grew deathly ill on the Eleventh Company's personal boat and was taken to the Southshore medic when the Azerothian refugees survived. Harold survived and remained in Southshore throughout the Second War, defending it from orc attacks along with the local militia. Harold lived many years of peace in Southshore until the dark days of the Scourge. Harold went into exile when he received a letter from the rebuilt city of Stormwind that Sunnyglade's serene meadows had now become dark and haunted by theives and ghosts. He watched from the deep woods of the Hinterlands as death swept across most of Lordaeron. Harold left the Hinterlands soon after the fall of Archimonde and became a wanderer, his days as a soldier of Azeroth and a defender of Southshore forgotten by nearly all. He sells his services as a mercenary to the Alliance now and has become somewhat of a myth in southern Lordaeron.
