Rahiem Hornsby was born hard-working stone masons, Mason and Terese Hornsby' who were among those that helped rebuild Stormwind when it fell. Rahiem was born right before the protests began due to non payment for the labor given and was the reason his parents left the capital City before the protests turned violent. He grew up nomadically, living in a covered wagon they followed the harvests with. His father and mother refused to join the newly formed Defias Brotherhood when approached by other disgruntled masons, not liking the idea of joining what they saw as a vengeful. Rahiem spent his childhood trying to entertain himself by climbing on the occasional tree they passed by. That was until he was old enough to work on a farm, which quickly became most of what he did until he was sixteen having been taught the value of hard work by his parents.

 At this time, the local guard force raided a gnoll camp, and the gnolls retaliated by burning a few farms and vagrant camps and killing innocents. This included his parents and the only home he ever knew while he was in town performing errands. After drifting around Westfall for a few months, a member of the Defias tried recruiting him as they had once done with his parents. However, due to Rahiem's rearing by his parents and refusal to kill, as well as knowing they allied with the very gnolls responsible for the deaths of so many, he flatly refused.

 He fled the Eastern Kingdoms when it became apparent they were going to kill him due to his refusal, using what money he had to get to Booty Bay, and worked as a ship hand to make it to Ratchet. From there he got a job working for a caravan working around southern Kalimdor. He learned orcish from a troll who spoke a small amount of common whom he slowly became friends with. For several years, he enjoyed working on the caravan and meeting folks from both Alliance and Horde, that was until Garrosh came into power and it became to dangerous to continue.

 He reluctantly moved back to Stormwind at this time, and used his caravan guard experience to get a job working as a guard for a local noble family. He met the Nobleman's daughter named Varri Mendenhall on the job and spent a single night with her. The nobleman, furious at the vagrant from Westfall, had Rahiem arrested. As the woman who Rahiem slept with didn't press any charges, he was let go after a week but was told to stay out of Stormwind by the lady's father.

 Rahiem had planned to move Northrend, but was ambushed by Defias goons, and almost killed if not for a wandering pandaren monk who saved his life. The monk offered Rahiem to join him in Pandaria to learn the ways of the monk in order to defend himself better in the future. Rahiem accepted and joined him in Pandaria. He was guided to the Valley of Four Winds, where he began searching for one of the monasteries to train him. To secure himself a place to sleep at night, he worked for panderenfarmer in their fields or helped the elders with chores. During his time there, he learned to speak Pandaren from the locals, and was taught the basics of fighting, along with ancient techniques from the Masters as payment for his work. He eventually found a Master who ran a small Dojo in the Krasarang wilds who took him in permanently. For the next seven years he trained and worked in the fields when he wasn't training.

## Personality

Rahiem carries a nearly overwhelming positive attitude wherever he goes. Keeping his head held high so everyone can see his goofy smile, and hopefully spread the smile around. He talks with a thick Westfall accent and generally speaks as politely as he can. Rahiem does not have the best education, especially when it comes to the different kinds of magic. This all makes Rahiem come off as a simple fellow, but despite this, he has his few clever moments.

He will always try to save a life, even when he knows there is not much he can do. Rahiem's simple morality is nearly unshakeable, it underpins all of his decisions, as he has made a vow to never kill a person. Contrastingly, he loves to fight. He'll take any chance for a quick fight that he can get away with, often at the detriment of those around him. He treats any fight as a learning opportunity, either for him if he is outmatched, or for his opponents when he has the upper hand.

## Description

Rahiem stands at 6 feet tall and has fairly broad shoulders. He has the body of a farm hand, Strong and muscular, but not too fit. His left hand and forearm are swollen and gnarled from a specific style of training and conditioning. He has a rough face that has not aged too well, as it is covered in sun damage and a few small fading scars. Despite the roughness of his face, it is always filled with a bright and genuine smile. There are very few times that Rahiem does not at least have a grin.

He typically has long hair pulled back into a ponytail, as well as a thick mustache and soul patch. His eyebrows are even thicker than his mustache. Normally he wears a set of Pandaren robes fit with weights to allow him to perform techniques that require a higher weight class. Rahiem, even when wearing fancier dress clothes, wears his ceremonial belt signifying his rank as Master. His feet are wrapped in blessed mooncloth to make him more effective against the undead and demons. He keeps himself and his clothes very clean, and only sometimes smells like smoking herbs.

## Recent History

Upon finding out through a courier that he had a child with the noble lady, a daughter by the name of Liane, he found his purpose changed. The lady informed him that she had a medical condition, and if it got worse she wanted Rahiem to be there to raise their daughter. When Rahiem arrived, he began looking for a job working directly with nobility to learn more about the way they lived, and found one working for the March of Avercroft which eventually leading to him joining the Special Branch.

When the Baroness of Westend married and moved to Redridge, he chose to join her there as the guardian of her newly born son, Mathius. He settled in Carrington and opened his own dojo upon finally earning his rank as Master of the Ox where he has taken to teaching the people of Carrington and The County of Halston Falls as a whole.

### Present Day

Today, he is the Sheriff of Carrington, having been appointed as such by the  Countess, Lysenia Baudelaire, as he had proven to be protective but restrained. His ability to end conflicts without death showed others that there is strength in restraint, a message she wished to see spread.

## Relationships

While he has no romantic relationships, he is close to the SI:7 agent, Lyllithia Adal'aresh and remains friends with the Troll, Jaber'troz whom he visits in Booty Bay on occasion.
