Therand

(To come)
==Background (Lore)==
===Growing Up:===
Therand was born into a highborne family, 10153 years ago. First and only son of Erinia Loremar and Therand Quel'sari Loremar the First. During his early youth, at around the age of thirty, Therand was already sent to start training, the first thing he would learn was swordsmanship. How to fight in close combat and defend himself. His training with this was merciless, and any mistake he would make, even though his very young age, was punished horribly by his trainer. Either he was simply cut with the sword, or else he would be beaten brutally. Due to the brutal punishments, Therand knew not to make mistakes, not to fail, And he focused intensely on the training for about ten years.
After those ten years had passed, his training in swordsmanship did not stop, but rather he also started practising in the arcane arts aswell. And this training was not one bit less gruesome when it came to errors, error meant backfire, and all the power he would've let out to practice would be sent back at him as several projectiles. For many, many years Therand trained like this, his mother and father not caring for his punishments for error. Even though much of his family might have been harsh on his training, there was always one amongst them he could seek to if he needed to relax, His grandfather Kaloren Quel'sari Loremar. Seemingly the only person in his family thinking that the training was too harsh for such a young boy to endure. But even though his grandfather's objections, his mother and father kept forcing him to train, they "Wouldn't allow their only child to become a failure." Though his father did always think of Therand as one, not ever thinking he was good enough...
===War:===
Already while a young man, what is today known as The War of the Ancients broke out, and through all the events, Therand and his grandfather had seen more reason than the rest of his family, those two being the only two persons in his family to not side with Queen Azshara, and had instead sided with Dath'remar Sunstrider as he went against the queen and joined in with the Kaldorei resistance. Some time into the war, Therand and his grandfather inevitably had to face their own family, who had gotten informed of their "betrayal" to Azshara. Kaloren had started out with ordering Therand to run, while he took care of their family, but Therand, enraged at how his mother and father had raised him, refused to leave, Telling Kaloren that "His parents were his problem, And he would deal with his own problems." Kaloren, seeing his raging grandson, knew not to stop Therand. And so, Kaloren dealt with the all but Erinia and Therand (the first), those Therand were to take care of. And he did, in blind rage Therand mercilessly killed his own parents, only thinking of how miserably they treated him as young. As Therand's father lay dying by his own hand, he uttered only one sentence "I'm proud of what you've become.", after that was said he closed his eyes as his life seized to be.
===Wrong choices:===
Shortly after the highborne had been exiled from Kalimdor by Malfurion Stormrage for what they had done, and had named them self Quel'dorei, Kaloren died naturally of old age. This made Therand fear one thing, the thought of it horrified him. Dying. Seeing that one even as powerful as his grandfather being able to die of old age he realised that he one day would too. Therand realised that he had feared death, he knew one way to avoid dying prematurely was power, being able to overcome anyone that would try kill him, which made him grow a desire for power as well, lots of power. Blinded by his fears and desires, Therand sought out a way for him to never die, and after a long time searching he found what he was looking for. Though it came in a way he had never imagined himself willing to ever do, demons. Therand had found powerful demon lords, resting as they were trapped on Azeroth from the aftermath of the war. Awakening the demons he felt the raw power emitting from them, feeling that he wanted it as well. Therand made a "deal" with these demons, eternal youth and power to never be beaten for the price of lives of several other living. Therand reluctantly accepted due to his desires, and he did what they had asked for him, delivering several people of his own race, and also several of those they either allied or warred with. The demons granted him what they had promised. And as they did, he felt a large surge through his body, of demonic fel power. but he also found himself to feel younger, his looks changing to some of his past ones, he looked much younger, and also felt like it. Due to the fel powers surging through his body. his eyes suddenly turned from their usual azure blue, to a fel green. Therand knew this would probably worry his kin if they found out, and decided to mask this. He found a hood, a simple one which he then covered the most of his head with, cloaking his eyes for others to see. Though the demons didn't think what he had done already was enough for him to keep what they had given him, and Therand maddened slightly by the feel of the power accepted to continue his deeds. After long, long time of living alike this, Therand finally realised what he was doing. Leaving others to die and empowering demons, helping them awaken. Just for his own greedy thoughts. Having realised this, Therand now knew what he had done was not right and decided to never do it again. This decision of course infuriated the demon lords, and they stripped him of all the fel power they had given to him. Feeling the sudden large surge of power leave his body, Therand fell to the ground in a coma. Though the demons seemingly spared his life, thinking that one day he might desire for the power he felt before. They left him with a little "Gift", his eternal youth. Several years after he fell into the coma, Therand finally woke up. He also found out that people of his kin had seemingly found him, and brought him back. As he asked them how long he had been like this, they told him that several years had gone since they found him lying unconscious on the ground. As he was told this, Therand was amazed at discovering that even though several years had gone by, he hadn't either aged, nor had his looks returned to their real age. With a grin on his lips, he knew that his eternal youth was still there. Though for what he had done, he hated himself. Exiling himself from his people to live alone as a hermit. And that he did for several hundreds of years before he finally forgave himself for what he had done, and returned once more to his people.
===Lost Love:===
About 800 years from the present time, still looking as young as always even though the thousands of years had passed since his birth, Therand finally fell in love with a woman, a beautiful high elven priestess named Soralia. Therand had fallen for her already from the first glance he set upon her, he knew that she was the one and only for him. Not long after he had finally taken the courage to introduce himself to her, and had gotten her as his lover, Therand proposed to Soralia. Soralia, loving Therand as much as he loved her accepted his proposal to her, and about four months afterwards they got married. They lived together, both thinking that they never could be more happy than they were right now, and that this was going to last forever. On Therand's birthday, four years after the marriage, Soralia gave Therand a very simple present. A simple hat with the word "Loremar" embroided into it with golden letters, and a small note inside. Therand thanked his wife whole heartedly for this gift, because even though how simple it was, if it was a gift from her it was the best gift he could get. Though not long after this birthday, Soralia had gone for a longer trip. Not comming home for long, Therand got worried of his wife's absence and decided to search for her. After some hours of search, he found her. Though she was lying on the ground, in a pool of blood, several wounds on her. Dead. Therand was furious finding his beloved wife dead and with nothing but pure hatred and anger in his eyes, he swore to find whom ever had done this to his wife, and made sure they would suffer for what they had done. It took him several years to finally find whom had done it, a band of thieves and thugs. Living in a small camp in the Arathi Highlands. As Therand approached, his body sparked out madly with arcane power, his eyes flashing out brightly with an arcane violet glow. As the thugs saw his huge frame approach them, and feeling the raw power surging out from his body. they tried to flee, though Therand just captured every single one of them in a large sphere prison of arcane power. With a snap of his finger, several woman and children appeared, the thugs' wifes and children, those who had them. Glaring up at them he spoke "Just like I had to suffer the loss of a beloved, so will you." as he one by one, killed the women and children, in front of the men's eyes. As he was finally done killing the women and children, he made the sphere they were all captured in shrink, slowly, Eventually crushing them all. After he had avenged his wife, he finally mourned her death, grieving over his loss. He buried her the day he returned to his home.
==Involvement==
Therand is more or less a neutral person. Though he and other consider him somewhat as a part of the horde. Therand does not hate members of the alliance, or people of any other races. Therand was asked by both the magisters of Silvermoon and the Kirin'tor to be part of them, but Therand declined both offers, proclaiming "It's not really what I wish to do, even if I don't have to do anything... I'd rather be with the people I recognize as my friends..".
