There are things that I have done that are...not forgivable. Yet, here I sit. Judged not for what I have done, but instead for what I am choosing to do." - Shrae Shadwhisper

"Flight from the Assassins"

**Ishraena "Shrae" Shadewhisper**, a female Kaldorei, is a Blade of Elune who was initially on a disciplinary assignment to The Lamplighters guild, and one of the first members to join after the events of The Schism, along with the members of the Second Circle.

Initially assigned to Department Four, Shrae was initially positioned in the organisation until The Curator was stopped. However, she emerged from the Department to become an Emissary, before eventually being invited to join as a member of the Third Circle. She was integral in the destruction of The Curator's R&D laboratory The Erasmus as well as crucial in the recovery of Kavash, the Soul Pit from a group of pirate cultists.

Following the Curator's defeat, Shrae aided the guild maintain its neutrality in the breakout of the Fourth War and battle against both the Horde extremist group, The Sylvanas Loyalist Institute, and the Alliance black ops team gone bad, T.A.R.O.T. Following the events of the War, Shrae stepped down from The Circle in order to return to her people's homeland. With help of her abilities as a Blade and the enhancements granted by the Night Warrior, Shrae resides in Darkshore and Ashenvale, bringing terror to those who would do the Kaldorei people further harm, and hunting those who perpetrated in the terrible war crimes committed in the region.

## Description

Shrae is slightly taller than is average for female Kaldorei, with a lithe build consistent with strict physical training. She has stark white hair that falls to her lower back and is generally kept in a single braid. Her eyes were once silver but became darkened consistent with the markings of the Night Warrior. Her skin is pale with a number of small scars on the backs of her hands and arms, consistent with wounds taken blocking small bladed weapons. The Agent has survived severe trauma in the form of a garrotte wire injury to her throat. Excessive scar tissue remains, and caused an alteration of her voice.

This injury is consistent with her attempted murder and subsequent departure from Darnassus. Her voice was initially fully compromised, but due to the intervention of Circle Member Yradriel Wyrdmoon, she has regained the majority of the use of her vocal chords.

## Abilities

Shrae shows a familiarity with herbs and has a high proficiency with chemical compounds such as nerve toxins and other poisons, as is not uncommon with those affiliated with the Blades. She is a notable dye-manufacturer, with business ties in the Stormwind Harbor area. Shrae also acquired a shop in Dalaran and moved her business ventures to that locale instead.

In terms of combat prowess, she has a remarkable proficiency with concealed blades, daggers, and garrotte wire, and she shows a marked preference for wrist blades. Shrae favours a precision-focused armed fighting style relying heavily on poisons; based on this, almost all armed combat is ultimately lethal. Her unarmed fighting style tends towards disabling blows, making heavy use of pressure points. She exhibits a very high pain tolerance and is also adept at non-magical triage. Despite her indications for a preference of poisoned weapons however, her mission reports show that she consistently chooses to use non-lethal force in lieu of such. Control remarked on several occasions that Shrae's restraint in this regard was greatly appreciated.

She speaks Darnassian, Common and Thalassian fluently, but she shows only moderate proficiency with written Common. Further observation however showed that she has fluency in both Common and Darnassian dialects of sign language. Oddly, Shrae also outwardly indicated a lower capacity for the Common language than she actually has.

## Public History

There was no history of particular note concerning Ishraena available until the past five years; having left Darnassus, she spent the majority of this time in Stormwind, first recovering from her injury and then working as an assassin for hire (with an amount of dye-making on the side). She was eventually approached by a group known as 'The Order', assassins-for-hire looking to make use of her skills. She left their employment at the same time as a number of other Agents, with no motive for such given, and joined the Lamplighters.
