User:Idrae/Bio

Idrae is a paid assassin and mercenary.

He appears rarely throughout Stormwind or neighbouring villages, occasionally offering his services to the Black Wind, and occasionally to Gilneas (but always for a price). While there are points at which he will aid Black Wind and their cause, he comes and goes as he pleases.

Idrae constantly dreams about his past. He was a thief named Nathan, who had a loyal friend named Miser, who committed grand larcenies and assassinations together. After they had successfully heisted thousands of gold from a Kul Tiran workhouse, they escaped down the falls, where Miser was badly injured. Believing that she would never survive if Kul Tiras authorities found her, Miser asked Idrae to help him kill herself, but Idrae refused and abandoned Miser to an uncertain fate. Idrae crossed the lake and found himself in Crestfall, where a woman invited him to stay. He started wearing a mask, and adopted the name "Shade". After a week, he abandoned the woman.

At an uncertain time later, Shade recieves orders to accompany a group of three fellow Gilnean rebels to the Caverns of Time, but he chooses to split off from the party, speaking of deciding to "stop running", and wishes for Miser to come search for him. What this means is uncertain — whether Shade ended his own life to reunite with the deceased Miser, or whether he wishes to settle down and wait to reunite with a living Miser, or whether he left the party behind to start tying up the loose ends of his life (including Miser) on his own.
