He'll attempt to assist someone if they need it, or go out on patrol to keep the roads safe in Stormwind. He doesn't drink yet, so he keeps clear head most of the time.

He's also attempting to find the right woman for himself. He enjoys the fighting and excitement of battle, but in his heart he wants to settle down with a nice girl, buy some land in Westfall, and run his own farm. But for now, he keeps a simple mind set in living the now.

History

Tennas was born and raised in Westfall, the youngest of his two other siblings, a sister and a brother. The three were taken care of by their loving mother, who used to be a priestess, and father, who was an old war veteran. The trio helped work the farm to earn their keep. Ali, his sister, assisted their mother while Gregor, his brother and oldest of the three, and Tennas worked the fields with their father.

The two brothers were often told stories about the heroes of the past, who fought the mighty Horde and beat back the tides of darkness. Tennas was fond of the warrior Lother, while Gregor adored Daelin Proudmoore. The two would often fight as their heroes with farming tools, which led to Tennas' scar on his right eye. The two got along for the most part, and they were highly protective of their sister.

The trio grew up quickly, Ali normally read books in her past time or learned about the Light from her mother, while the boys explore Westfall. The brothers, now fit and strong from working, hunted with their father every now and then. It was during one of these hunts, when a group of Defias Brotherhood attacked them. There was only three of them, in which their father slew two, and the boys took down the last one, only wounding him. As he screamed in agony from his wounds, the father quickly ended his pain by silting his throat. When the boys questioned their father's actions, he gave them a long speech on when the time comes, they'll have to protect their sister, and themselves. They didn't understand that speech until later.

A few years later, when Tennas was 19, the Brotherhood raided their farm. The entire family was called to arms. The attackers were eight-men strong, but the Norris family stood fast, the men in the front attacking, the women in the back, attempting to heal their loved ones. The fight looked to be over soon from the start, the Brotherhood falling one by one before one struck their father, sending him to the ground. In a rage, the family killed off the two remaining enemies, but one fled from the battle.

The father was badly wounded, but the efforts of the mother and Ali saved his life. The aging man decided that it wasn't safe here, and that they'll be back with more. So the family agreed that they needed to move, and that they'll split up.

After seeing that their mother and father were taken to Theramore, the siblings split up. Ali went to Northshire to become a Priestess, while Gregor left for Booty Bay, most likely signing onto a ship. Tennas on the other hand, wanted to help the Alliance. After staying in Stormwind City for a year, collecting money by doing odd jobs, he found and joined the Alliance Volunteer Army. Hoping to follow in his father's footsteps, he now helps to remove the enemies of the Alliance.
