Players: Purah, Death Knight (of the Ebon Blade)

Name: Purah Bloodsword
AKA: "the Scribe"; 'Rah; Purah Lightsword (In life)
Physical Description: Tall at over 6 feet, especially with his ears; Very pale, nearly translucent skin; Blue-glowing eyes in a narrow, clean, open face; long, pointed ears, consistant with the rest of his race; Lightly muscled, with strong shoulders; Perfect posture at all times
Skills: Beautiful penmanship; master of swords and swordplay; excellent rider; extensive knowledge of herbs in regards to pigments and coloration.
Basic Background: In life, at a young age, Purah Lightsword had left his family home in the countryside of Quel'thalas to pursue a spot in the Silvermoon Sentinals. His swordsmanship was unparalleled among his peers and quickly was spotted by the elite guard of the city. Unfortunately, a training field accident during his short life as an Initiate caused him to forswear swords and swordplay for the rest of his life. Haunted by guilt, he joined the local Arcane magic school as a scribe, creating copies of needed texts and scrolls. The accident faded into memory over the next few years and many students who become his friends would never guess his skills or his past. When the Scourge attack Silvermoon, he helps the Sentinals in the only way he feels he can, writing reports and copying orders. In the end, he is killed along with nearly everyone else in Silvermoon by the Scourge army.

Later, he is risen by the Scourge as a Death Knight where his sword skills are yet again put into play. Barely remembering his life before, he renames himself Purah Bloodsword and serves Arthas, the Lich King, as faithfully as he can. Rising quickly in the Scourge ranks due to his excellent skill at slaugtering the Scarlet Crusade, he joins the attack on Light's Hope chapel along with several other Death Knights, only to be utterly betrayed by Arthas. Now he has become one of the Ebon Blade and must yet again find his place in the world that has changed so much since his death.
