Appearance

Avrand usually covers himself completely from head to toe in black robes and bandages. He almost always carries with him a black staff which he uses for support when walking long distances or not using some of his shadow abilities to alleviate the stress from physical activity.

Personality

Avrand speaks rather respectfully to everyone he meets, and does his best to avoid anything that would lead into a direct conflict that he is not completely sure he can win. Whenever possible he tries to talk his way out of dangerous situations, and perhaps that is what has helped him survive all these years. Despite this Avrand truly only respects those who are more than ordinary, those with visions and strength of personality, he dislikes rash people who act on impulse, though he would never tell them that, and instead prefers to be very methodical in his actions, thinking them out carefully to ensure his continued existence.

Avrand has a habit of starting to ramble if anyone brings up the topic of the Forgotten Shadow. He likes to take opportunities such as those to further explain his believes to others and thus impose his will upon them, hopefully gathering more for the Cult's cause.

History

Avrand will not speak of his time before he was one of the Forsaken, though there is a good chance that he was a priest before his death. He had been horridly burned to death during one of the numerous Scourge invasions and when his corpse was risen to fight for the Scourge he discovered he had been horribly weakened, his burnt body leaving him almost helpless when it came to physical combat. Fortunately Avrand had a strong will and personality which carried through even into his death, allowing him to continue his work as a priest despite his physical weakness.

It was not very long after he had gained his free will as a Forsaken that he became a strong supporter of the Cult of the Forgotten Shadow, believing that they represented the true core values that all forsaken should have and that they would lead the Forsaken into a new era where they are supreme. He has since dedicated much of his time to his studies as a priest, aiming to increase the power of his will and become one step closer to the ascension that the Cult views as the highest form of existence.

He has also spent much time seeking ways to forward the goals of the Forsaken, and thus his own personal power, through whatever means he can. He also seeks ways that he may avoid the dangers of being attacked physically, investing heavily in the knowledge of the Shadow arts, as well as numerous other tools such as potions and elixirs.

Avrand is also somewhat of an eccentric collector of items with magical properties, and tends to chase after any times of interest that occasionally pop up from time to time. There is a good chance that if you flaunt around some item with special qualities he will take an interest into it, and possibly try to obtain it for himself.
