"Mad" Jonah Sterling

__NOTOC__
"Mad" Jonah Sterling is a human and the former leader of the Northsea Freebooters.
After leading his group to the Howling Fjord, prior to the war against the Lich King, he ordered his men to rob several artifacts from the vrykul's burial ground called Shield Hill, which brought the kvaldir to Northrend's shores, as they disturbed the spirits of the dead.Exploring Azeroth: Northrend, pg. 94 After their crime, they moved to Scalawag Point where one of the artifacts, :The Frozen Heart of Isuldof, drove him mad and so paranoid that he left the relative comfort of the makeshift port to live in a cavern with his pet bear named Hozzer.The Frozen Heart of Isuldof (quest)
It was also his idea to attack both the Alliance and the Horde expeditions, and raid the nearby tuskarr villages and fleets, taking prisoners as captives. However, none of the tuskarr survived their captivity long enough to be rescued due to the brutality they suffered, and because of their condition which kills them after three days out of their cold climates. With both Alliance and Horde breathing down the necks of the freebooters, another pirate called Annie Bonn arranged to have Sterling killed by enlisting the aid of adventurers. After being severely wounded, Jonah tried to jump down to use his pet bear as protection. However, in a turn that he did not foresee, his pet bear Hozzer killed and ate him.
After his death, Annie took over his crew and the operation.
