Exarch Vicaaryna is a lightforged draenei paladin, an exarch of the Army of the Light, the former captain of the crashed naaru vessel *Perenaar,* the orphaned daughter of Aan'dros and Aka'riel, the elder sister of Anaya Wildcloud, the fiancée of Pe'phriem and a member of the Underdogs.

## Biography

Vicaaryna lost her mother, Aka'riel at a young age. Her father, Aan'dros, was taken to Azeroth in 0 L.C. to act as a sort of "soul battery" to keep the dying orc warlock, Throg Foulblood alive. Aan'dros succumbed to his many afflictions caused by his exposure to fel - as well as his soul being completely drained over time - in 21 L.C., in the land of Kalimdor, leaving his younger daughter - as well as Vicaaryna - an orphan.

Vicaaryna however, had no idea of any of this. As soon as she was of age, she enlisted in the Army of the Light, got lightforged and fought against demons of the Burning Legion and Void creatures.

### An unlikely chance meeting

In the summer of 36 L.C., her ship, the *Perenaar* was en route to Azeroth in response to the impending Legion invasion when the tenebre Pe'phriem crashed into its hull, creating a massive hole that destabilised the main drive core. The vessel crashlanded on planet Kerision-616.

After surviving several days on Kerision-616 in a makeshift shelter, Vicaaryna's distress call was finally answered, and they were rescued by Vindicator Deuteros of the 42nd Subdivision, who had his doubts about Pe'phriem's trustworthiness, wanting him to be executed on the spot; the tenebre was only saved by Vicaaryna's interjection. The two eventually began developing feelings for one another.

Vicaaryna assured Deuteros that she is taking full responsibilty over the tenebre's actions and that he is not a threat, and requested the vindicator to take them to Azeroth. Deuteros did so, reluctantly, as he still didn't trust Pe'phriem and felt that it was his duty to rid the world of the Void, as well as the Legion.

The two eventually got to Azeroth aboard the *Legionbreaker*, where as soon as the ship broke atmosphere, Pe'phriem's mind linked up to his "brother's" and they began sharing their information with one another. Erhand arranged him and Vicaaryna a temporary place of dwelling at the Eastvale Logging Camp and had the Seven escort them there.

### The Ys'thriss incident

Meanwhile, Deuteros contacted Exarch Caliestes and the Extermination Squadron, asking them to come to Azeroth and kill Pe'phriem. The Exarch immediately responded by stripping Vicaaryna of her rank for recklesness and potential treason. When she got there, however, she immediately recognised that the void being in question is a tenebre of Ys'thriss from his unique ability to shapeshift. What neither Vicaaryna nor Deuteros knew was that Caliestes, as the head of a squadron that dealt with void-related issues, dedicated quite a lot of time to Void research, and had extensive knowledge about the nature of Ys'thriss, his relation to other Old Gods and the Legion, and recognised a potential ally in him, being one of the few in the Army who shared this view. She immediately apologised to Vicaaryna, gave her rank back, and relieved Deuteros of his services for misinformation and slander, even extending Vicaaryna a formal invitation to the Council of Exarchs before leaving the planet.

Furious, a dispossessed Deuteros tried finishing Pe'phriem himself, only to be neutralised by the tenebre, who threw the ex-vindicator at his former ship, the *Legionbreaker*, causing him to crash through the ship's crystalline hull and fall unconscious. Pe'prhriem escaped with Vicaaryna.

### Skirmish on Sydvar

In 36 L.C., a portal, leading to the Legion-controlled world of Sydvar has opened over Elwynn Forest. Caliestes contacted Vicaaryna and asked her to assemble a team to close said portal.

Vicaaryna asked her niece Eserill for help, who gave her three volunteers (Béatha Copperlocks, Tristan Hastings and the freshly-voidforged Mavis Amberhawk). Nathaniel Clayden also offered two of his fresh graduates (Joshua Parker and Morwynn Bright) but Vicaaryna politely declined as they were in her opinion way too inexperienced and flippant for such a mission. She eventually recruited Deuteros against her better judgement (surprising even Caliestes herself) and joined the exarch on Sydvar.

The small team battled valiantly, Mavis eventually had to sacrifice herself to kill the the overseer of the portal, Pit Lord Droth and simultaneously collapse the stronghold he resided in to give her comrades a chance against the seemingly endless stream of demons.

After Droth was defeated, as his citadel was collapsing, Deuteros pushed Pe'phriem under the rubble out of spite, blaming him for his discharge. Vicaaryna knocked the former vindicator out with the hilt of her sword as retaliation, leaving him stranded on the planet as she rescued the tenebre from under the debris.

Vicaaryna, believing she had gotten rid of Deuteros, left through the collapsing portal. Before she escaped, though, Deuteros stole a Legion ship and followed her, swearing vengeance against the exarch.
