"'Remind me never to get into a duel with that one.'"
 * - Kitrik the Assassin, to his friend Sassy Hardwrench

Suzl Grimblade is a dark warrior in the Assassin's Shield - the personal bodyguard of Kitrik the Assassin, master of the Grand Army of Kezan.

Biography
Suzl was born on Kezan, the daughter of a Bilgewater privateer. At an early age, sometime after the Second War, she ventured out into the world, eventually settling in Booty Bay in the Cape of Stranglethorn where she worked as a bruiser, and survived the deprevations of both the warlock Joshmaul and the death knight Artimus Devaneaux as they murdered her friends while working for the Bloodsail Buccaneers. Though the Steamwheedle Cartel, which ran Booty Bay, was the sworn rival of the Bilgewater, she saw that the Steamwheedle (despite being profit-oriented, like all goblins) also believed in fairness. Her disgust at the business practices of Trade Prince Maldy, and later his successor Gallywix, caused her to feel doubt about her loyalty to her cartel.

Suzl was one of the first to rally to Kitrik's banner when he returned home to Undermine based on a shamanistic premonition given to him in Northrend, and ventured with him from Booty Bay to Kezan. Though he also despised Gallywix, Kitrik knew that the remainder of their cartel would be depending on people like them when the predicted catastrophe occurred.

Fallen to the Scourge
Like Nyssha Swiftblade - the death knight working for the Forsaken - Suzl was corrupted relatively late in the war in Northrend. Travelling back to Northrend on Kitrik's order, Suzl was ambushed in the Howling Fjord by the vrykul and raised in undeath by Lady Deathwhisper, the lich who succeeded Kel'Thuzad as master of the Cult of the Damned...
