Spunkus

## History

Spunkus, originally Kael'Thenis Boltrick, was once an upstanding pupil, a voracious learner and an extremely learned man, destined to become a great mage. However early into his studies King of the Blood Elves, Lor'themar Theron ordered a portion of mages to learn the ways of the monk under the horde's newly acquired allies in the Pandaran, Kael'Thenis was chosen as one of these mages.

One of the very first, but of the most essential techniques taught to the monks was a basic combat roll, all of the pupils successfully learnt the technique, but Kael'Thenis ever the overachiever adapted the combat roll into a spin of sorts, it was a good trick. He had simultaneously developed his signature move he would use through-out his career but at the same time, destroyed Kael'Thenis.

Experiencing severe amnesia and ego death after his grand development, Kael'Thenis was no more instead arising, Spunkus as the other disciples dubbed him. Where he was once a well-thought, astute and cautious man Spunkus was his complete antithesis.

Despite this set-back he had graduated as a monk, though he knew he was destined for greater power and greater purpose. Whilst waiting to be assigned a partner to set out on an adventure with, he was hired as a lumberjack, his speed at felling trees granted him the title "Lumberjack" he has since adopted convinced himself that it was his first name... Light knows why.

He was since given Sporkington as a partner to guard during their adventures. The pair battled their way through swathes of malfunctioning constructs and mana-scarred entities to the capital of Silvermoon where they were re-assigned to Orgrimmar to patrol Sen'jin Village due to sightings of a Theramore incursion. There they met a man simply known as Tusksfordays, an aspiring Troll Priest assigned to their aid in Sen'jin's defence. The three saw the advantages of forming an adventuring party and had been travelling together through many war-zones on the behest of missives from the Warchief.

One fateful day the followed the missive to the Plaguelands, where under the guise of night Sporkington convinced Spunkus to aid her in an experiment, attempting to perfect her polymorph spell. However she instead transposed Spunkus with a Sheep during the Third-war, it is unknown if it was planned or an unintentional mishap, however Spunkus knew no different.

Spunkus awoke on a battlefield outside of Light's Hope Chapel where he was slain amongst the overrun paladins defending the lands from the Undead Scourge that besieged it.

Later he was resurrected by The Lich King, Arthas Menethil thinking he was a noble paladin, he was wrong... and he soon learned his lesson when a newly resurrected Spunkus attempted to fling himself off of the Acherus necropolis. Having been saved by the Valkyries overseeing Acherus, The Lich King forced Spunkus to forget how to Spin, his last connection to his past as Kael'Thenis. With his previous... assets removed... he was then trained to become a Death Knight.

He left the service of The Lich King with the other Acherus Death Knights in a coup lead by Darrion Mograine. After the coup's success he fled to Orgrimmar where he waited until Sporkington and Tusksfordays had returned from the Plaguelands to greet them.

The Horde Gang's adventures have continued.
