Warlord Izera

The Perfect Lamplighter Agent

**Warlord Izera** was an Orc female commando, the right hand of The Curator, secondary antagonist in The Curator Campaign, and the main antagonist during The Northrend Campaign of the same storyline. She was trained, augmented, enhanced physically, mentally and magically to be "The Perfect Lamplighter Agent" in her master's words. Cunning, ruthless and armed with the best weapons, armour and gadgets available to her, Izera was a deadly foe who hounded the Agents throughout Northrend.

While her origins are mostly unknown as many of the techniques The Curator implemented in boosting her abilities were lost in the destruction of his R&D vessel, The Erasmus. What is known however is that throughout his tenure as the head of Department Four, he had been building the concept of what he considered to be the greatest Agent, and Izera was the result of all of his experiments. Selected as a candidate from a dozen prospects, Izera excelled at all trials set before her and cut her teeth in her first mission: The Schism. Leading the charge against Lamplighter HQ. When The Powers That Be intervened, Izera held off the forces long enough for The Curator to make his escape.

After which, Izera became The Curator's most trusted and valued Agent. She embarked upon the most difficult of missions for her leader, always succeeding despite overwhelming odds and achieving results that others would deem impossible for a single Orc, however mighty, to achieve.

It was for this reason that The Curator chose her to locate and secure the Vincit Stones from Northrend, and became a constant thorn in the side of The Lamplighters during their time in Northrend. In charge of a repurposed Legion ship, a battalion of demons and the very best Department Four Agents at her disposal, she took to her mission with the ruthless efficiency she had become known for. She located the Lamplighters' movements through teleportation tracking, and once she found them, she destroyed their safehouse and nearly killed Gladnar Brightfist in their first confrontation, taking the Vincit Stone from his possession.

Unfortunately, this only emboldened her enemy and through their use of allies in the region (something Izera had never even considered) and guerrilla tactics, the Agents were able to secure all but two of the Stones, one of which Izera held personally at all times. The other she secured aboard the shielded Legion ship.

She was baited into a confrontation between The Lamplighters and The Vrykul Fleet but her overconfidence made her believe she could overcome the unfavourable position her Legion ship was positioned within; between two peaks of enormous mountains which cut off her usual manoeuvrability the vessel afforded her. With her Agents and demons focused upon the Fleet itself, the Lamplighter Agents were able to fly up to the ship and find their way inside. Izera realised their goal and exited the vessel, confronting them on the exterior directly. Despite the disadvantage, she was nearly successful, greatly injuring Agent James Rein and taking his eye in the fight. Unfortunately, she was unable to withstand the full assault and she was fatally wounded, exacerbated when she fell from the side of the ship to her doom.

Izera died upon impact instantly, and the Vincit Stone she had stored upon her person was also destroyed. The Perfect Lamplighter Agent was defeated, and her body was unable to be recovered after the Legion ship lost orbit and crashed into the mountainside, burying her corpse beneath an avalanche.
