Vordin Thazkan

Vordin Thazkan, in life a simple farmer, in death a Deathguard in service of the the Banshee Queen. He is a skilled and accomplished engineer and can be found tinkering on various devices most of the time. He has an aversion for magic even though his second death has gifted him various magical powers.
==Background==
Born once in the quiet forests nearby Andorhall his living life consisted out of working on his uncles farm and harvesting the grain for the citizens of the capital, Stratholme and Heartglen, cities he had never seen in his life. When the plague came and used the grain to turn the population of Lordaeron into the mindless undead he succumbed rather quickly. He remembers little of what happened and it is not something he reminds him self off often. 
After his deaeth he roamed the lands around Andorhall while the Lich King marched against Quel'thalas. It was during these days the first signs of his self-conscience returned. Unsure what he was in life he just followed his primal urges, feed to survive, even though he had no longer the need for food.
When the Banshee Queen broke free of the Lich King's grasp Vordin was released as well. Fully aware of who he was, and what he used to be, he swore revenge against Arthas. As the undercity was retaken he joined the Deathguards, patrolling the lands surrounding the capital and keeping the Scarlet Crusade and the mindless Scourge at bay. He started to tinker with explosives and soon he found most of his free time working on various explosive devices. 
When the Forsaken joined the Horde there was a sudden influx of Goblin Technology, something he eagerly used to process his own research. As the years passed by his skills with the sword became worse and worse but his knowledge about explosives and mechanical devices grew with the day.
Yet his research became fatal to him when he was on patrol about a year ago. A small group of Scourge had been spotted near the Bulwark and a patrol was send after them. As they raced through the plaguelands nobody noticed the growing number of gargoyles following them. The moment they crossed the bridge into the eastern plaguelands the undead descended upon them, wiping them out with little effort. 
The next time Vordin was aware of was when he stood below the Ebon Hold, fighting Scarlet Crusaders. Even though he appeared to be in service of the Lich King again it didn't seem odd to him. He happily followed the others of the Ebon Blade into battle. When the events at Light's Hope unfolded themselves Vordin was released from the Lich King's servitude yet again. Although he officially joined the Knights of the Ebon Blade he returned to his post in the Undercity quickly after.
It was in the Undercity he was contacted by agents of Varimathras to assist in the construction of various explosives devices that could be used to spread a new plague. He happily accepted and for the first months after his second death he worked along side various Deathguards and Deathstalkers to ensure the Blight could be delivered properly. 
When the Wrathgate was assaulted he was more than willingly to assist Varimthras and Putress. Unsure what exactly was their plan he kept a low profile while the Horde gathered their forces outside the city, he spend most of his time working on bombs to use against the enemy. 
When the Horde finally assaulted the city Vordin quickly became aware of the futileness of defending against such numbers. When the Kor'kron found him he was standing in a laboratory, the researchers dead, exploded most of them. In the aftermath of the short civil war he was put on trial for his role in the events. Little could be found to use against him and he swore loyalty yet again.
===Recent Events ===
After his trial he returned to his previous station, he found that this time he was greeted with weary eyes and distrusts. He was not surprised, and frankly couldn't care less about it. He had found a new goal to achieve and as long as his research wouldn't be hindered by the suspicious eyes he would just continue. When he found out that certain archives where off limit to him he asked to be transferred to another post. At first this was denied but recently both the Ebon Blade and his superiors in the Deathguard have requested him to be stationed with the Sunfire Vanguard.
