His body is riddled with scars and distortions from broken bones all of which betray the hansom orc he once was. He walks with a limp, often using staffs or canes to ease the weight on his near ruined leg.

Personality

Alignment: Neutral Evil In spite of his small stature he is slow to hold his tongue. Always one to speak his mind he has taken a few sharp blows but he is usually willing to return said blows. At first meeting it would be apparent that he does not like people, alliance, horde, neutrals, he hates them all equally. His kind side is rarely seen, and never heard of and with a constant frown on his face he just seems to be mad at the world.

History

Born in the White Claw clan, Lohn was known for his small stature. Often called the runt of the litter by adults and mocked by orcs his own age he had few fond memories of childhood save for one. His best friend Mag'amosh, who he felt lived up to his name, was always looking out for him. Both were around the same age but Mag'amosh was much larger, one of the biggest orcs for his age, so Mag’amosh was always looking out for Lohn, protecting him from bullies and teaching him how to defend himself.

The two grew up together, close friends and in their adult years, Lohn was proud to be able to say he looked out for his friend as much as he was looked out for. Both were strong well known shamans in their clan, Lohn known for his favor with the elements and his friend Mag’amosh for his clairvoyance. Their friendship enjoyed good years until the war with the Draenei. Lohn supported the war whole heartedly and wanted nothing more than to protect their clans from the blue horned creatures that made bold claims. He and few others in the white claw clan agreed but none really listen and without the voice of his friend Mag’amosh backing him up, Lohn soon found himself feeling alone, excluded, and ignored.

Then the attacks started. The horde soon turned on the white claw clan for supporting the frost wolf clan. Scores of white claw members were slaughtered in blind hate. By this time the horde was already forsaken by the spirits, so all Lohn could do was watch. He was powerless to convince his clan of their error in supporting the frost wolf and for that, his clan died. The elements abandoned him, so he was powerless to protect the one person who was always there for him. Helpless he heard his friend Mag’amosh’s death cry at the hands of another orc. True to his nature Mag died protecting his family, buying time for his family and Lohn to escape.

The following years were lonely for Lohn, he was able to escape the slaughter of his people but with that blessing came the curse of blaming himself for being too weak. He became a hermit in the eyes of many, refusing contact with the Horde or anyone the Horde fought with. He lived alone and angry in Dreanor, replaying battles in his mind over and over again trying to think of what could have been done differently to save his friends and family. He came to one conclusion. He was not weak, but betrayed. The elements forsake the white claw clan, left them to the mercy of the orcish horde. He decided if the elements would not support him willingly then they would do so by force. He took his knowledge of the elements and studied other forms of magic till he discovered always to take advantage of the weaknesses of the elements, to force their cooperation.

For years as the Alliance and the Horde raged war against each other Lohn worked towards perfecting his new found strength until an interesting bit of information reached his ears. Remnants of the White Claw clan were reaching out to each other, trying to revive the clan. Lohn hunted down this new White Claw clan and was quick to offer his services as a shaman. This time they will listen to his wisdom, willingly or otherwise.
