Kane LaCroix

Captain Kane LaCroix (Pronounced Kayn La-Kroy) was a High Elf Pirate of the Great Sea who made his mark sailing around Azeroth during the second war on his ship the Affirmation.
LaCroix met his end during the war with the Scourge when he sailed the Affirmation too close to Icecrown and was subsequently killed along with his wife and crew by Sindragosa.
==Background==
===Early Life===
Kane was born in Lordaeron to the noble High Elves Roark and Ariel LaCroix.
Tired of his mundane and sheltered life of luxury, Kane ran away from home at the age of 14 to become a pirate.
His travels took him to Old Stratholme, a port town where he met his best friend and eventual first Mate; Kelreth Des'Leroen.
Kane was offered the position of deck hand on Kelreth's father's ship the Old Wolf.
For many years Kane and Kelreth embarked on adventures together on the high seas across Azeroth, developing a bond that could never be broken.
===Husband===
A decade later LaCroix and Des'Leroen ran a ground on an island inhabited by Trolls whom were kidnapping the indigenous Humans and putting them to death in sacrifice to their Gods.
A team of Elven Rangers also inhabited the area and endeavored to free the Humans from their captivity and slaughter the Trolls, Kane and Kelreth agreed to help the Rangers after meeting and falling in love with one of their number called Ivory Faylienne.
After successfully rescuing the Humans and annihilating the camp, Ivory bid farewell to her fellow Rangers and joined Kane onboard the Old Wolf with her sister Ambalika, not wishing to leave LaCroix's side.
Less than a year later the two were married onboard Kelreth's father's ship by the old Sea Captain himself.
===Father===
Eventually Kane's journeys took him back home to Old Stratholme where he and his wife settled down for a time and endeavored to raise a family.
Ivory gave birth to two healthy twin girls named Shivs and Wolfe, whom Kane referred to as his "inspiration and (his) life".
After his children were born, he wished for them to live a childhood at sea, seeing all of the marvelous and magical things he had grown to love and he struck a deal with the nobles of Lordaeron with his Parent's reluctant help to commandeer a ship in the King's name, looting and exporting herbs and spices between the two human kingdoms.
the deal was sealed and the Affirmation was christened, now bearing the title of Captain, Kane took Kelreth on as his first mate and set sail for Stormwind with his wife and children onboard.
===Legend===
Once his children had grown and left the Affirmation to pursue their own destinies, Kane, Kelreth and Ivory continued on their adventures, this time setting sail to retrieve rare herbs from the North and raiding bandit camps for loot in the Forgotten Isles of the East, departing from the Great Sea due to the Malestrom's unpredictable tidal pull.
It was here that the Affirmation landed at the East and was pursued by the newly formed Bloodsail Buccaneers all the way to the West of Azeroth, sailing around the world.
The old Captain was bold in his numerous discoveries but wanted more, he sailed further North than many had dared in the past and retrieved some of the rarest goods Lordaeron had ever traded.
It was this and other frontiers than earned him a name amongst the Goblin pirates of the Eastern Kingdoms as a famed Pirate and Commander of Elves, Men and Goblins alike.
===Death===
Many years later, after the Scourge devoured Kane's homeland of Lordaeron, he continued to sail under the employ of Stormwind, whom were not so forgiving in their policies towards him, stating that if he were to continue under their employ he would need to bring them something of merit.
Accepting the challenge and secretly seeking revenge for the destruction of Lordaeron, that for all his resentment, was still his home, the old Captain set sail for Icecrown in search of vast amounts of the elusive Icethorn herb.
However, Sensing an intruder, the Frost Wyrm Sindragosa stirred and defended her master's kingdom, destroying the Affirmation and all aboard, leaving only one survivor; Kelreth.
Kelreth struggled to shore and found his way home, where he told the story of Kane and Ivory's death to all who would listen, passing on the legend to others.
Kane and Ivory LaCroix's bodies were recovered and now lay buried outside of Booty Bay, may their memory live on forever and their spirits find peace.
==Tombstone==
The grave of Kane and Ivory so reads:
"Here lay in peaceful harmony,
The legendary Pirate Kane LaCroix and his beloved Ivory.
They slumber as they sailed,
Together."
==Trivia==
* Kane's last name 'LaCroix' is not of Elven descent, it originates from a noble family of humans of which his great grandfather was a member, his great grandmother was a noble Elf from the Ker'Serena family line, when they married she took the name, hence his noble Elven family possessing a human surname.
* Kane is not a player character, NPC or WC lore character, he is simply an adventurer from our server's recent history with many stories to tell.
