Merun Zerus

Faland Zerus (-2537 L.C. - 28 L.C. ; undeath: 28 L.C. - ) (brother)

Merun Zerus (-1465 L.C. - ) is a draenei priest, the only daughter of Amok Zerus and sister of Behmat and Faland Zerus. Their surname, something very rarely seen in draenei families, is a tribute to their grandfather, the legendary warrior Zerus.

## Early life, Draenor

Merun's life was filled with pain and loss. When she was born, her mother died during delivery.

After the Genedar crashed on Draenor, Merun's grandfather, Zerus, a legendary and furious warrior, fell victim to an orc attack, losing his right leg in the process, rendering him unable to fight and ultimately leading him to fall into a deep depression.

When fel orcs attacked the family, and while the three siblings and Zerus survived and escaped their attackers with Velen, their father Amok and their grandmother disappeared without a trace.

The surviving family members returned to Shattrath but were amongst the first to escape when the orcs attacked. Zerus himself stayed behind, and having had enough of being unfit for battle, decided to bind his soul to a Vigilant to be able to rejoin the fight, but was eventually impaled and killed by the attacking fel orcs due to his spirit not being synchronised with the mech properly. They were saved by Velen and finally had time to grieve their lost relatives.

## Exodus aboard the Exodar

The family escaped to Azeroth aboard the Exodar, but due to agents of Kael'thas sabotaging the ship, the three siblings' uncle fell out of a massive hole that the blood elves blew into the side of the ship. His death was made apparent when the tide washed his dead body ashore later on.

The three siblings, now left on their own, sank deeper into depression. They eventually joined the Alliance forces, helping them however they could. Faland's anger towards the Horde grew even stronger, and Merun left to study to officially become a priest. The three felt that this world is becoming more and more dangerous. Merun's two brothers eventually volunteered to join the Alliance expedition back to Draenor, now known as Outland, but after Faland's death, Behmat returned to Azeroth and became something of a bodyguard for Merun, blaming himself for Faland's death and swearing to not let the same thing happen to his little sister.

## The Northrend campaign

After the defeat of the Lich King, Merun and Behmat moved to Stormwind where he and his sister got themselves a house.

## The Cataclysm

Shortly after the two siblings moved to Stormwind, Merun was kidnapped by the Twilight's Hammer clan, and while she survived, she developed a phobia of the darkness, which she associates with the Void. She is terrified for voidwalkers to this day, but his brother and her are actively working to fight this phobia. Behmat eventually joined the Phoenix Guard, who helped him find his sister.

Merun, much like her brother, blamed herself for what happened to their family.

Merun is currently being taught priest mastery by one of the leaders of the Angels of the Phoenix, Assiera.

## Personality

Pure-hearted and altruistic, Merun sometimes goes against the rules to help those in need, even her bloothirsty brother Faland.
