Kelmith

Kelmith is a battle-warlock within the forsaken Deathguard.
==Background==
CHILDHOOD AND DEATH
Kelmith was born to a rich family in Andorhal. He was named Kevin Nichols after his grandfather. Along with his parents, his family included a dog named Winston, and a younger sister Gracia (often called Gracie). As they were proud of Kevin, they saw Gracie as a failure, and she was treated as such. The only one who really cared about her was her big brother Kevin. The odd thing about the children was, that their physical aging was very slow. Kelmith was sent to Stratholme for studying in the ways of the light. He looked like 8-9 years back then. He was to become a priest. A sworn servant of the light. It was only six years later when the undead scourge came to Lordaeron. Kevin didn't even get the word of Andorhal's fall before Mal'Ganis attacked Stratholme. The tall boy had the height of an adult, but the age of a young boy when his fate struck at him. The demon found the boy before prince Arthas and he became another slave in the ranks of the scourge.
REBIRTH
Later on however, at the time of the coup, Kevin was on the side to rebel against the newfound King Arthas on the side of Sylvanas Windrunner. When his mind woke up once more, his rather wide knowledge of darkness was soon turned to power. Learning demonology on the way, he was soon a warlock. He left his original name behind him and created a new one. While reading a book, his eyes were nailed on an eredun word "Kele'Mithe." Without a straight or accurate translation, it was close to "Dark Angel or "Unholy Angel" or something. Following the way of pronouncing the word, Kevin Nichols renamed himseld Kelmith.
REUNION
After six years as Tirisfal had been territory of the forsaken for quite the time, Kelmith met his father once more. It was all at random when spending time in Booty Bay. His dad, still a living human came to him terribly drunk. The man didn't even recognize his son, but Kelmith mentioned nothing. He only felt anger knowing his dad was still alive. Kelmith still hadn't forgiven the way he acted towards Gracie in the past. The warlock was enlightened to hear that also Gracie had escapen the scourge to the dwarven kingdom of Khaz Modan and then found their way to the rebuilt Stormwind city. The drunken man spoke about stealing two children from his former lover in Quel'Thalas, and also about selling his useless daughter as a slave to a lewd landlord. The thought of her sister constantly satisfying physical needs of an old pervert turned a part of his own self back to Kelmith. He pierced his father's heart with a long dagger and gave his last words for the man he now hated the most:
"Thanks for telling me... dad..."
Kelmith escaped Booty Bay before getting arrested and traveled to the place his sister was being held. He broke down the doors of the manor and killed everyone he saw, except for Gracie who had grown to be a beautiful young woman, despite being abused and recently beaten unconcious. Kelmith carried her near the gates of stormwind and left her with a pouch of gold. A patrolling guard soon found her and took her to safety. Kelmith didn't want to show his dead face to the only person he cared about and left.
By saving his sister Kelmith decreased his insanity because of the joy he gained, but also gained a great weakness. Up to this point however, his loyalty to the dark lady is nearly unrivaled...
THE APOTHECARIUM
While searching Silvermoon City for information to his research, Kelmith asked advice from Gorgothor La'Vey of the Apothecarium. Thinking it would benefit his researches, Kelmith asked to be a part of his society. Meeting Plaguebringer Anxx who happened to be nearby, he was recruited to the Apothecarium. He got higher in ranks faster than he thought, and joined the Research & Development under the wing of Teorius Darkcast and Vuuk Bonechill. He also obtained both friends and a couple of rivals on the way. His rebellious attitude struck back at him when he got demoted and mutilated by one head of the Testing department. Some time after that however, the man left the Apothecarium, and didn't show himself again. Kelmith's new rise happened, when Anthorius Krastov, the Head of the Implantation department also left the society. Kelmith supported Deathguard Halliwell to be the next head of the department. When Halliwell got the position, she offered him a place in the Implantation. Kelmith being loyal to Halliwell, accepted the invitation. So when he got up in ranks once more. Halliwell appearently saw more promise in Kelmith than Master Chemist Darkcast did. After a relatively short time, Kelmith was named Deathguard, a deputy to Leannan Halliwell next to Rebekka Citreola. Some time after that, the new Plaguebringer also left, and for unknown reasons, Apothecary Geriand Shadowsworn, who did not hold Kelmith in much trust, suddenly named him the new head of Testing. Kelmith's personal speculation of the reason was Geriand trying to buy some trust and loyalty. Despite that, the promotion was the best for the cooperation of the three departments. Due that reason, Kelmith has not questioned his position more.
APOTHECARIUM'S "DEMISE" AND THE SPINE
As the Royal Apothecary Society was forced to be disbanded due to yet another act of betrayal, Kelmith was left unemployed once more. He had more time to visit a forsaken girl which he had started to treat as a surrogate sister. For 2-3 months, there was no sign from most of his fellow apothecaries. Then finally, a High Delegate of the Dark Lady called for him. A new organization, that combined the Apothecarium, the Deathstalkers and the Deathguard emerged. He contacted the leaders of the combination which was called "The Spine". After some succesfull service, he got a place in the Deathguard.
==Personality==
Due to the death during puberty, Kelmith is stuck with a rather rebellious attitude. Kelmith is not stupid, but he makes rash decisions. He is also cold towards those who would see him as a monster, so his behaviour on people depends very much on the person. Kelmith is also oddly calm, but when he gets angry, he doesn't spare his words. In a bad mood, he has the foulest mouth ever. His behaviour is closer to a gangster or a common criminal than to a gentleman or an evil mastermind.
==Appearance==
Unlike most undead, Kelmith is able to stand straight. He usually wears his black robe open. His right hand is 100% skeletal and the right cheek is torn apart, revealing his teeth on that side of the head. The left eye corner is also torn badly. Kelmith's eyes are like black pearls. His hair is also black, and his skin is even paler than it was in life. Despite his age, Kelmith was tall when he died. Being able to stand straight, he is still 185cm tall. It is usual to find his mouth and hands red from blood, after eating living victims of his spells.
