Appearance

Red workman's clothes with overalls. Even if he is fighting for in the army, he still looks like an unemployed go-getter.

Personality

His only real liking and hobby in life is to collect guns, fire them and hopefully get a headshot. He is easily enraged when he himself gets hit by enemy projectile weapons, often flying to a rage if not at his enemy (As he could admit, doing so would be suicide), at his gun. This will often get him to lose his companions very quickly. At times he would also imagine the battlefield in his mind, and would pull off crazy stunts and maneuvers as if in a gunfight. Most people are and should be afraid of him once a gun comes in close proximity to his fingers, where he would get all exctatic and would most likely point the gun at the nearest head. He finds anything else other than guns stupid and any enemy charging at him with a sword, axe or any other outdated weapon garners a headshot from his gun.

History

Born in the snowy reaches of Dun Murogh, Vassili grew up literally with a gun in his hand. He lived with his mother and father in a house also acting as a remote hunting lodge for dwarven hunters usually from Ironforge. He would initially learn from both his father and mother, both well-known but average-skilled hunters. He would then grow up learning much from the hunters who use their house temporarily on their frequent hunts. He would not only be honed in the skills with the gun, but also in street smarts and the ways of the wild. The most wise of hunters who trained him however, often scolded him for his over zealousness and most would leave, disappointed that his skills have grown but his outlook on hunting was just about shooting things. He grew up, exceeding his father's skills as well as those of most of his neighbors in their community. He contributed tremendously to his family and the community, yet felt there was something lacking. He felt things were lacking not for the fact that all he has been doing for the first few decades of his life were shooting and killing things, but the fact that he is running out interest in killing the non-sentient beasts in Dun Murogh. There wasn't any more challenges that was in front of him, so he thought.

Then the orcs came. Word spread of Stormwind's downfall and soon most of the dwarves were led into Ironforge for sanctuary. Some opted to head north and join the resistance instead of sitting it out and awaiting reinforcements in Ironforge (If ever there would be reinforcements left at all). Included in the brigade headed north was Vassili as he opted his family to stay in Ironforge. It was during the Second War that he participated in that would hone him in the battlefield and satisfy his desire to blast off heads at the same time. He would have been celebrated as a good sniper and marksman too, if it weren't for his rash and boisterous attitude of kill first, ask later. Surviving the war, he spent the years ahead of him this time hunting the game of the northlands and the northern forests between Lordaeron and Silvermoon. He would soon find himself in the wars again, this time following Lady Proudmoore's call and heading to new lands personally, in search of new game. Throughout the turmoil of the new city-state, he has kept his steadfast loyalty though he rarely does get any praise. With things to shoot and enemies of the Alliance to kill, he moves on steadfastly serving the Alliance surprisingly surviving the wars by the skin on his back and his trusty gun and companion by his side. Time will tell when his one-sided personality and philosophy in life will take a turn. Always by his side throughout the wars he has been in is his trusty pet and good luck charm, Headshot. It looks like the two would have more mishaps and would stick around for awhile longer.
