Personality

Usually calm and patient, Nanuk has a more 'forgive and forget' mentality towards most things. Use to going for days or even months without much contact with others. Though due to his primary beliefs and deep connection with nature, he can seem a bit uncomfortable around certain races.

This is not to say he is completely peaceful, or desires for the world to like him. No one is perfect, as Nanuk knows perfectly well. And he is willing to set aside his 'live and let live' personality when needed.

History

Nanuk was raised as he believed all Tauren should be, as a nomad. He traveled with his tribe, followed the ways of the Earthmother, hunted the kodo, and killed Centaur. Though his interests was more for the nature around him and the desire to understand and protect it. Because of this he had no trouble in choosing to follow the path of the druid when he saw the chance arise.

It was one of his elders who came to him with the opportunity. An old wise woman who went by the name Aquene. She had learned the ways of the Druid long ago, often telling the others she was still learning, and was known to travel away from the tribe when it suited her. Aquene one day came to Nanuk and spoke of seeing his passion for the earth, and his potential to learn. Soon after she offered to guide and mentor him in the ways of druidism, which Nanuk eagerly accepted. Together they set off for the wilds to train for days at a time, occasionally returning to their tribe to be of use or journeying to Moonglade. For some time Nanuk and his mentor, Aquene, continued this pattern until the end of her days. After giving her a honorable burial, as well as a moment of mourning, Nanuk continued his training without her.

He then later fought along side his tribe in the campaign against the vile Centaur with the help of the Orcs and Trolls as many of their people caravanned to Mulgore. A task he had believed at first to be the right choice. When the battle was over, and Mulgore claimed at the Tauren lands, Nanuk found himself with little tribe left and he became bitter. In his mind and heart he was at a conflict, which he dealt with the best way he knew how. By taking a step back from the people he loved and withdrawing deeper into the path he had started.

So Nanuk left Mulgore, returning after great periods of time, and the few remaining of his tribe. Setting out on his own to further expand his knowledge and strengthen his bond with nature.
