Personality

Ansehqwa is known for his patience. He is close to loosing his vision, as he has been since an early age, learned much of the values of patience, and tolerance. By smell and voice he can tell enemy from ally, Human from Orc. Like most Tauren, he's very introverted, and extremely peaceful, but when angered, few stand in his way when they feel the earth beneath their feet tremble from his charge.

Ansehqwa has excellent manors; he traveled the world twice over, and has learned much of other tribes and cultures, making him more likely to talk an enemy out of a battle.

He is known for his honorbound nature, being bound by the law's of Thunder Bluff, and his tribe, even more so then the rest of his kind. What the crone's demand, Ansehqwa does, no questions asked.

Other:Ansehwqa has very impaired vision, instead relying on his other senses.

He speaks in an incredibly deep and slow voice, if he ever speaks at all.

His age has brought him much knowledge and wisdom of the beasts and the world he traveled and as a result Ansehqwa bears many scars, what from beasts, what from various humanoids, the later ranging from brawls with his siblings, to Alliance members charging blindly head on refusing to think twice of their actions.

History

Born into the Rivermane tribe, as first-born son to his family, Ansehqwa was fast to rise into the ranks of the Hunter, learning quickly of their ways, and the ways of the Beasts.

Once a calf-boy, whose brash nature and loud speech left many wondering Ansehqwa quickly matured, and left many dumb founded to the young Tauren's progress. He cared for his siblings, which much like their brother before them, were very high spirited and lively.

On a summer's day long ago, centaurs struck. Ansehqwa was first in line, and struck many down, but a shaman left him near blind with a curse.

The beasts rampaged, and soon Ansehqwa was left without a family. His siblings were far too young to wield their weapons right, but as was told to him, each followed their brothers example and fought for each other to the bitter end. The tribe members explained they envied his now bad eyes; they didn't wish to see what was left of their small village, and their brethren.

Years passed, and Anehqwa wandered with no end or goal. Nothing bound him to the village anymore, except painful memories, and honor. He would return every so often with many riches, skins and herbs, and follow the wishes of the crones. He would tell the children of his travels, of the people and of the beasts. Many a totem he carved, and many a tale he told.

Lately, he's tales grew thin... "I am no longer as young as I once was..." he would say, "...I grew older with each passing day, and the Earth Mother gifts me with wisdom of age, and a greater understanding for all things living..."

That isn't to say he stays put in the village. Ansehqwa was born a wandering spirit, and wander he shall to the end of his days; it takes him far longer to reach his unknown goals and back to the village then before, but he pays special attention to the path he travels now...

"I have always wandered...and I always will...My body shall return to the Earth Mother soon, and that is when I will be happiest. I've passed on my wisdom to many a child and elder alike...I've thought the skills to many who asked for it...it made me happy to see them grow...it filled me with pride to pass on my knowledge; but the final tears that I shall weep, will be when I am rejoined with my siblings...then and only then shall I truly be at peace."
