Kradu 'Gar'mak' Dranosh

When Kradu regained his free-will along with the rest of his death-knight bretheren, Kradu deamed himself un-worthy of his former title's and Surnames. So he Re-named himself Gar'mak Dranosh for his last names, Meaning 'The Anguished Heart of Draenor' In orcish. He was a Shaman in life, Specialising In the Fire elements, he sought to undo the wrongs of his new adoptive home on Azeroth, and saw that The scourge was the closest threat to azeroth and the Horde, so made it his lifes work to purge undeath from existense. He was Inspired by Tales of great heroe's such as Broxigar Saurfang And Drek'thar , and recounted them to his son Every night.
==Background==
Ever since Kradu was a Pup, He was a perfectionist. It started with small things, like his appearance, but when he grew older, It took on a more Destructive turn, If he dropped a pot and it shattered, He would stamp on it again and again. When he was discovered to have shamanistic potential, his perfectionism demanded that he mastered everything, and his version of perfection was not skill, It was raw power. On one occasion he vented so much energy into a single lightning strike he lost control, and it hit a hovel, sending one part of the wall into a thousand Splinters, which caused him and his mentor to spend alot of time in-active and having needle-thin splinters coating their hides. He eventually made it through his trials after many years, and began to attune with the elements.
When Ner'zhul first called for shaman to convein with him, Kradu answered the call, amazed someone as junior as him would be accepted to convene with such a wise man. When he arrived, and heard of ner'zhuls offer to drink Mannoroths blood to obtain power, He jumped to it the first chance he had. As The fel Energy surged through him and he lost communication of the elements, he panicked, and fled to work on his Melee combat, And found himself lacking somewhat. Like Many orcs, he got caught up in The events of the time, and began to massacre the draenei, and Un-knowingly dealt the fatal blow to His old Draenei Friend Shase in Shadowmoon. Eventually he was placed in with the Warsong clan, and was sent into Azeroth along side them, fighting human, dwarf, elf and Gnome alike. Constantly marching, forever pillaging and slaying. He soon began to identify himself as Warsong, Despite not being born of that clan, and by the time his skin had fully merged to its Dark green hue, he wanted nothing more than too fight it out with his adoptive clan to the bitter end. Soon however, The Warsong were called back to guard the dark portal from Stonard, Sitting in the swamps, Hearing barely anything from the front. Eventually They were betrayed by Gul'dan, who left them to attempt to guard the horde's forces from the pursuing Alliance masses. They let as little as possible through, but had to fall back and run due to the shear mass of Enemies pouring into the thin mountain pass leading to The Black Morass. They then lived out a life on the run, avoiding capture by the alliance for Fifteen years, Until Their capture and Break out aided by Thrall and his new horde. During their time with thrall, Kradu began to re-learn the ways of the elements, Once again discovering his elemental might. But this time, he thought up an idea. Would it be possible to Warp a Elemental with Fel power, Then Bind it inside him? he was eager to find out. and All through his times in Ashenvale, he theorised and studied the idea. Upon the end of the third war, he finally mustered his courage to attempt it. He travelled to The Searing Gorge as it was named by the dwarves, and enticed a elemental to come to him, captured it, bound it, warped it with the help of a Warlock, then locked it inside himself. He went into a coma, and awoke later a changed man, his veins glowing in dim light, his personality split and morphed by the Elemental chained inside him. He was granted elemental fire powers, but lost the other abilites of a shaman such as Power over the storm or the water. When he awoke, he feared the Warlock would go on to tell others of what he had done, So upon awkening, he knocked the warlock out, and Threw him into a lava flow, and did not leave until the warlocks body sunk beneath the Volcanic liquid.
His first intention was to head back to durotar and see his son, But the Angered elemental seized the oppurtunity of Having basically possesed a free being, Forced him to travel to The Plaguelands as they were beggining to be known, and made him engage in the brutal conflict engulfing the region. He fought for many years, wandering the land, Purging undead wherever they emerged, and burning their Plague-ridden bodies with elemental flame to prevent the spread of disease. All the while his son sat in durotar, receiving letters only when Kradu had time to write them, And even though Kradu longed to see his son, The elemental inside him was still not appeased, so Forbid him from leaving the war.
One day, Kradu was going through The Abandoned town of Corins Crossing, and came across A Body. He found it strange in shape, A being he had not come across for many a year. he discovered it to be Shase. He picked up the embalmed body and began heading to the nearest outpost of Lights hope chapel, Determined to Give his old friend a proper funeral. As he traversed the gnarled and dieing forests, They were set upon by a swarm of ghouls. Kradu dropped his friennds body and started to attempt a resistance against the tide of mindless undead all around them, Throwing elemental flame to and fro.
Enevitably however, Kradu was over-run. The ghouls began to tear at his flesh, Feasting on his Intestines and squabbling amongst themselves. Then both Kradu and Shase's remains were slung into a Corpse wagon and taken to be experiments in the creation of Death-knights.
After their servitude to the lich king ended, Kradu feld to nagrand for three months, un-able to cope with what he had done. He enevitably returned to Azeroth, and was sent to northrend. here he began to manifestate himself with a fear, A fear of magic. Magic had destroyed his life and in his eye's caused his peoples down-fall, and his own death. He sought protection against it, encraving his armour with protective runes whenever he could. He fought along side Shase whenever the two crossed paths, But after the events of the wrath-gate kradu resigned from active horde service, seeing that the horde was about to deviate from the path of defeating the scourge into a secondary conflict with the alliance he went to dalaran, and heard of the Kirin Tor's call for mercenaries for a expedition to the storm peaks, Kradu leaped at the oppurtunity, and took part in the assault of ulduar, He stayed there throughout the war on the scourge. Whether he took part in the attack on Yogg-saron himself, Kradu will never say. He either cackles and brushes the subject aside, or goes into a deep silence until the questioner leaves the matter be.
==Involvement==
With the Cataclysm has brought a change to Kradu. His mind broken (some say shattered) and weary from his escapades in Ulduar, He has returned to a world which in his eyes is a reflection of draenor in the days of the creation of the horde. He views Garrosh Hellscream as the catalyst for this, so has distanced himself from Hellscreams lands. So much so he has created a Camp for any seeking to escape the new horde, the conflicts spaced across the land, or as a quiet contemplation zone, to meet with like minded individuals and to rest in a safe haven from the chaos of the outside world.
When he is not defending the camp and "The Vale of The Dream", as he has come to call it, from any threat either natural or arcane, Kradu can be found investigating into fresh claims of Old gods and their servants appearances. Although most end in nothing, Kradu beleives there is truth in the claims, so has taken it upon himself to hunt for answers.
Kradu still carries his huge phobia of magic, so much so he has taken it to new levels of insanity, carving unholy runes into his very flesh in a attempt to aid warding off all magical attacks and to surpress the fel energies around him. Some see as the final proof he has been driven mad by the whisperings of Ulduar, others simply see it as one man trying to avoid returning to death.
