Reví Sceré

== Ebon Commander of the House of the Ebon Blade and the Order of the Ebon Dawn ==
== History ==
::At Ebon Hold:: Reví woke surrounded by other Knights,Val'kyr and Necromancers who had brought life into her again. She was told she was special, that she had been chosen, perfect for the Lich King. She was one of the Knights who were unable to remember their previous lives, and had simply accepted their fate, but unlike most of them, Reví remembered nothing. Not her name or her race, the only clue she had to her previous life was a Silver- helm that framed her face, guarding either side and across her forehead, the words 'Reví Sceré' engraved into it. She took these words as her name. As she remembered nothing, she developed a sentimental attachment to the helm, presuming it to be a clue from the life she could not remember.
After her resurrection, Reví was treated with a mild neglect and an air of reverence by most of the Commanders, as though she was one to be feared. Slowly,she was approached by Night Elves who called her a half-breed, saying her helm was Darnassian Sentinel armour. They attempted to befriend her, but some who originated from the Horde, avoided, shunned and despised her for her possible heritage.
Reví was slowly groomed and treated with high regard by most of the commanders, particularly Lord Koltira Deathweaver. The favouritism she was shown led some to hate her further, whereas others were in slight awe of her mystery. She was made important by the Commanders; forging her own Frost Runes by her power alone showed her prowess, and Koltira quickly made his mark on her, claiming her as his. He protected her, mentored her, cared for her even. She was given a high rank without question and put to the test beside Amal'thazad, she was first and foremost an Instructor to lower ranking Knights. Her skills and expertise in the school of Frost, and on the battlefield made her an excellent mentor and leader, even for those who detested her. Reví was given the name 'The Frozen' in Ebon Hold, and was often referred to as 'Commander Shiver', for the affect she had on novice Knights not trained in the school of Frost whenever she walked by. She equalled the Frost Lich's power, perhaps even surpassed him; he never tested her enough to find out. She was ordered to do a great many things she would never speak of, rather terrible things, but with no emotions to cater to her judgement, she asked no questions, showed no restraint, felt no remorse. Reví had been groomed to be the perfect Death Knight, and she fit the role so well.
At the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, Reví was at Koltira's side. When Lord Morgraine withdrew from the Lich King's control, she felt nothing; except perhaps that she should feel -something-. When other Knights regained their memories, Reví was still in the dark. The few of the Val'kyr that remained imprisoned in Ebon Hold insisted they had not been responsible for her memory defect when questioned, and implied she had lost her memory before death. She sought answers from her mentor, and then Lover-by-Command, Koltira who told her that she was unique in comparison to the others. He stated that she was actually alive and her life had made her so powerful, but perhaps the forfeit for power had been her memories. In a moment of passion, Koltira vaguely claimed to have known her before her resurrection, but said no more.
In the pursuit of memories and reasons, Revi returned to Ebon Hold, and spent many months reading the books there on the history and culture of the Sin'dorei, but regained nothing, and decided to travel to Silvermoon City in search of her past, or a future.
::In Silvermoon City::
When Reví first arrived in Silvermoon City, she wore her Acherus hood to conceal her face, and refused to remove it for many months. Many jested as to the reasons behind this, including Zeron'thar Skyhammer who suggested it was because she was actually very ugly and wanted to hide her bad looks. Reví did not know what it meant to be concerned for her own appearance, but the reasons that people presumed were not entirely far from the truth. She vaguely feared that she would meet someone who would claim to have known her in life, and would tell her of all her flaws and wrongdoings and hate her. But after a while she began to lower her hood more and more, and to her relief, has not once been called a traitor or a half-breed. Her helm did attract some attention however, just as her hood did,Reví has never actually tried to remove the helm and has brushed off and even injured the few who have tried.
Her lack of memories led her to be rather emotionless, almost like a child or a creation of a Gnomish Engineer, knowing nothing and thinking of everything rather than feeling it. She would often say things such as "That elf says I must be shy and embarrassed easily... I do not think I can be capable of such things, whatever they are." when called shy or quiet. She required maps, and teaching in the words of her language she did not recognise. Being surrounded by people, she began to form her own memories, and her personality grew. Whether she had changed from the past or not, is unknown. She slowly learned about the people within the city, and about herself, making a handful of friends who aided her search for her new self, and quickly became a far cry from the emotionless Death Knight she had been reborn as. A certain sin'dorei she spoke about her concerns of meeting anyone from her past spoke words that inspired Revi. "I…feel different." She said.
Reví began to advertise herself as a protector, escort and bodyguard. She was based primarily in Outland and could often been seen escorting people across its rocky terrains and being hired to kill various troublemaking beasts in the regions. She took a liking to Exploring and writing, occasionally documenting things that interested her. She has an extensive log of details and occurrences with the Sporelings of Sporeggar, who Reví has actually claimed to adore; 'Precious little creatures'.
A handful of Elves expressed interest in courting Reví, but it was only after she began to develop her own personality that she felt inclined to entertain the idea of it. It was at this stage that a Blood Knight called Ravanth approached Reví. Despite the irony of a Blood Knight and Death Knight courting, Reví paid no heed to it, and to her surprise, grew to love Ravanth quite intensely. They spend much time apart due to their commitments elsewhere, but value the time they do spend together immensely. They currently share an abandoned Kal'dorei house together as their home.
More recently, Reví expressed feelings to her Lord Koltira, of wanting to work more with the Horde as a collective, to support them as an equal rather than a Death knight outsider. Kolitra suggested he could give her the power and resources to lead a small group of Death Knights to assist orders such as The Blood Knights. Reví was particularly interested in this, as she had developed a rather curious eye for one Zeron'thar Skyhammer, finding his Knight methods sometimes brutish, but often effective in comparison to the other Knights. Koltira assisted Reví in the creation of The Ebon Dawn on the condition that she report to him often
Reví enlisted a few strong elite Death Knights, most of whom eventually went their own ways, but Reví was not entirely concerned by the lack of numbers: "Quality over Quantity". Eventually, after much arguing, provoking and (technically) law-breaking on Reví's part, she struck a deal with Zeron'thar Skyhammer, who agreed to let her have a loose position of authority in the city if she answered to him and worked alongside him. She has since aided him, and even protected him against some foes in the city. She respects Zeron'thar immenseley and considers him an equal, but is not far too proud and certain of her rank as an Ebon Commander to allow her to order her all the time.
((TBC/WIP.trying to make it less tl;dr ^^;))
== Currently ==
Currently Reví has been becoming more active in assisting the Blood Knights in Silvermoon City, this led to her using her Frost Runes extensively and she developed Frost Fever from her own over-use. With some assistance, Reví was able to sate the fever, however the weakness it gave her concerned her. She decided to leave Silvermoon City for a time to resume extensive training with Amal'thazad the Lich in Ebon Hold. It's rumoured he has since sent her to a cold region to meditate and retrieve control of her powers. Reví has recently returned to Silvermoon on a few occassions, but maintains she is still in training. during her brief stays in the City, she has been playfully squabbling with Thorodias, and even got into a fight with him in which she revealed something rather important about herself.
== Tactics and Powers ==
In battle, Reví is a formidable foe. She most notoriously crosses blades with Paladin and Rogues, and tries not to fight with women or Magic-users, out of respect for their skills or their 'weakness'; it isn't evident which. Revi is rather quick in movement for a Plate-wearer, a sign that perhaps she did not always wear Plate and only needed to adapt her strength to the weight of it. She has been known to move fast enough to dodge a Rogue's sneak back-attack, but has admittedly laxed and used the durability of her plate armor to her advantage in such situations. against Paladins, Reví is generally even-matched. Their Holy light does not seem to bother her as much at it does most Death Knights, but by the same token, she cannot be healed by it either. Her almost-immunity to Holy has baffled more than one Paladin, but even Reví cannot explain the lack of effect it has upon her, presuming that it is because she is 'alive'. Reví claims she is as alive as any other mortal, always making a point of demonstrating the fact that she has a heartbeat and pulse when this fact is questioned.
(Note: Reví is in fact NOT alive, but has been led to believe she is, therefore any attacks that would normally cause great pain to Undead, she needs to avoid until the time comes when she will IC'ly discover she is in fact, just as dead as the rest of the Death Knights. The truth behind her weaknesses and strengths due to 'being alive', is due to things that occurred before she was raised as a DK. )
Her swordsmanship is by no means anything to scoff at, and she can adapt from one weapon to another, having been known to use anything from five different weapons in a single fight; Dual-Swords, Singular Swords, Axes, Polearms, and even a Staff. Again, another sign that perhaps she did not always wield a bladed weapon and needed only to adapt.
Reví is a Frost-schooled Knight, and as such, would probably be evenly matched against a similarly trained Mage or Death Knight. Reví is very finely attuned with her Frost Runes, and has demonstrated this skill both in and out of battle in various ways; she has encased people in 'Ice tombs' to aid in their capture, created very thick vertical ice-walls as barriers, laid Paths of Frost across the ground and slid across them in order to attack foes at a higher speed, she has even put out significant damage to a building in the Walk of Elders in Silvermoon City in an attempt to capture some heretics. Reví spread ice up the side of the building onto the balcony, which later on, caused the balcony to crack. This damage was later repaired. In less violent circumstances, Reví has frozen the entirety of the water in the Silvermoon Bazaar fountain, demonstrating her skill to an Elemental.
Reví's frost skills have also been used for medical purposes, in similar ways that fire wound be. She has frozen wounds shut to ease bleeding on both herself and others, and her cold hands make apt tools for soothing headaches and cooling over-heated skin. The consequence of this, is that she often develops, what can only be described as, 'brain freeze'. In certain circumstances, Reví has been known to develop serious cases of Frost Fever through over-use of her own powers. The frost fever that afflicts Reví, is basically a overflow of ice-runic power that needs to be released, however whilst in Silvermoon city, Reví cannot release the power in a controlled manner without likely injuring someone unintentionally. Whilst in Silvermoon this has occurred twice, both times Reví's was assisted by Death Knights (Aeter Nita and Kaldamo Sr.) to drain off the excess runic power. Reví can endure the fever until is dissipates over time, but felt concerned by the fac that she placed two knights, one of whom was her charge, in danger by accepting their assistance. Since then she had been meditating and training extensively to intentionally activate and de-activate the fever. She has been asked by other Knights why the fever affects her so intensely rather than her enemies, and Reví has simply replied with 'This living body has its weaknesses, and its strengths', referring to the fact that, being alive makes her able to tap into more power than most Death Knights, perhaps even in a way similar to Mages (Note: Not the case at all, this is simply what she has been led to believe), but being alive makes her body more susceptible to the fevers on a much more threatening scale.
Despite her evident strength and power, Reví is of course, not indestructible. In fact, she is rather weary in battle; believing that she is alive, naturally means she believes that she can die, and will hold back in order to protect her own life and the lives of others. Reví's greatest weakness, as a Frost Knight, is heat. Against a Fire Mage or Affliction Warlock Reví's would be nearly useless, and barely able to defend herself. Against Paladin's, Consecration has been known to cause her discomfort, similar to slowly being cooked to death with heat, and against Death Knights, any Blood-schooled skills cause her tremendous amounts of pain, although she can 'grin and bear it', skills like 'Blood Boil' have been known to give her Blood Fever, which for her, is ten times worse than normal, leaving her weak and hardly able to walk or stand.
Although her swordsmanship is ample, without her Frost Runes, Reví would struggle in a fight, regardless of the foe. She needs to maintain approximate contact with her Runes at all times, and this is why she keeps her Rune pouch tied on a belt loop at her back, underneath her cloak. To be separated from her Runes, would be akin to cutting a Paladin's access to Holy power off. She can still fight, but defensively at best.
Reví is also, very sensitive to narcotics and alcohol. This is something that became evident at several different occasions in Ebon Hold. One glass is enough to get Reví very drunk rather quickly, while she does not 'act drunk at all, her body feels the affects of it, and she finds it difficult to walk, talk and think properly. To put it in perspective for Potions and Elixirs, Reví was once administered a sleeping potion designed to work for, at the most, a day. Reví was asleep for four.

== Important Items ==
Runes: Reví owns no Unholy or Blood Runes. She was ressurected in a special manner by the Val'kyr that enhanced her connection to the Frost school. She was given gems and ice, and from them she forged her own runes. The 24 runes are ornately decorated, engraved with slight, thin patterns and lines(looking very similar to the Elder Futhark). Her Runes are relatively unique and can generally perform any task she wishes of them, but they seem to have a mind of their own at times, and have even been known to make noises akin to unearthly high-pitched screaming and sounds similar to ice cracking. Her Runes are kept in a small black velvet-like pouch hung at the back of her belt. When she uses a great deal of power, the bag freezes over and emits frost. The Runes are rather intact save for two runes; one was given to Ravanth as a gift, another has had a slice taken from its back rendering it slightly useless. The slice of rune was placed in a replacement leather eyepatch for Thor'odias Dawnweave. ((Note: Although Reví has far too many Runes, she has never actually used more than 12 of them, which is only double the in-game amount DK's have.))
Helm: A Silver Mail helm that frames both sides of her face and her forehead. When she first arrived in Silvermoon City, she refused to drop her hood from her face, aware that some might call her a traitor due to the Kal’dorei style of the helm( See ‘Ancient Crown’ at WoWHead). It has the words ‘Reví Sceré’ engraved onto the right side of it, rumour has it this is where Reví took her name from.
When Reví activates her Frost Runes and uses a fair amount of their power, Ice covers the helm in a thick, strong layer, and spreads out down the side of her face and over her head, one of her runes seems to manifest in the centre of the helm at her forehead (See ‘Storm Master’s Helmet/Coif of Ten Storms’ at WoWHead). The ice can take quite a long time to dissipate due to the nature of it, and it is so strong that it has actually protected Reví from bullets, but she still feels the after-effects.
Thorodias' old Eye-Patch: A worn piece of cloth that resembles an eyepatch, it was once worn by Thorodias dawnweave who was injured by several assailants and lost an eye. He had a makeshift eyepatch made to cover up the grayed, scared eye. The cloth itself is a linen-silk like material, woven into a band that fitted neatly over his head without tying. The patch itself had the symbol of Silvermoon embroided onto. Reví and Thorodias became somewhat close as his injury progressed around the events of the Shadowblade Syndicate. Not too long ago, playfully, Thorodias removed the band and placed it over Reví's eyes, watching her walking around as thought blind. When she made to return it to him, he offered it her, stating her wanted a new one anyway. Rather than throw the band away, Reví kept it. She wound it around her right wrist, the Silvermoon symbol at the top.
Ravanth's Bracelet: A bracelet given to her by Ravanth that he made himself. Similar to a bracer in shape and build, the black-saronite bracelet extends from her wrist to halfway up her forearm, a rather complicated but discreet clasp holding it in place. The band is slightly patterned, engraved, while at the top of the bracelet, a purple gem the shape of a heart is embedded into the saronite. At either side of this gem is a letter 'R' cut in red ruby, once each for their names. Reví wears this on her right wrist along with Thorodias' old eye patch, however she does not always wear it, fearful of it getting damaged.
== Allegiance ==
Prior to being a Death Knight, Reví can only be certain that her allegiance was to her race; be that Sin'dorei or Quel'dorei. Since her resurrection and following Highlord Morgraine away from The Lich King, she has allied herself quite intently with the Ebon Blade, and consequently the Horde. She claims most allegiance to Silvermoon City, but has also pledged her sword to any of the forces fighting in Outland. Notoriously, she felt a fondness for the Sporelings in Zangarmarsh, and spends a lot of time aiding their survival, and despite not being a Druid, she also works very closely with the Cenarion Expedition.
== Ebon Dawn ==
Working closely with the Death Knight Lord Koltira Deathweaver, Reví expressed an interest in providing more of a service to her brothers and sisters of the Horde. Koltira formed an order known as 'The Ebon Dawn', providing Reví with the leadership and resources needed. The Ebon Dawn was created to unite a small group of powerful and controlled Knights to assist the Horde and other younger, lower-ranked Knights. A number of Knights were assigned specifically to the Ebon Dawn to be placed under Reví's care, as an Ebon Commander. However Reví has done some recruiting herself, and has enlisted a few other Knights to her cause.
If asked by someone not of a Death Knight origin, Reví will state that Ebon Dawn was created to unite the more elite of the Death Knights. However it's true purpose, as ordered by Lord Koltira Deathweaver, is to aid and assist the Horde and exist as an entirely separate faction. As Reví took a liking to Silvermoon City, Koltira insisted that she based her efforts there, and try to form an allegiance with the forces already there.
Lately this allegiance has been made vaguely possible with the aid of Blood Knights such as Zeron'thar Skyhammer and Thor'odias Dawnweave, and has expressed interest in working closely with Thor'odias' and his new order, The IV Crimson Battalion.
