Personality

Within the Dwarf Walluce dwells a burning thirst for ancient knowledge. Above all he is a knowledge seeker and because of this, as well as an innate impulsiveness, he travels extensively. Aiding him in his travel is a general friendliness which at the very least keeps him in some sort of company, good or bad, whilst on the road.

Quick to become chummy, but slow to trust, Walluce hasn't been without his fair share of hard lessons in the big wide world. What he might refer to as "Genuine Store bought experience" has afforded him an ounce of wile and wit, which aids him more often then the strength of his arm.

His two greatest downfalls draw their roots from his most defining features. In his search for knowledge he may disregard moral repercussions. For all his wile and wit he suffers the pain of hubris, self praise coming easily from his loose tongue. As well, a lesser downfall is his tendency to give advice. Often Walluce attempts to shoulder the burdens of others and aid those in misfortune.

Otherwise, Walluce is a pretty ordinary Dwarf. Like the rest of his kind he is stout and stocky in both build and personality. He is passionate and able to devote incredible focus to the task at hand. Ale is his preffered drink but any alcoholic beverage will do.

History

Walluce was born into war. The year of his birth, two hundred and thirty years before the opening of the dark portal, was the same year which the High King Anvilmar died and the War of the Three Hammers began. Interesting, though, as that is, Walluce himself would not partake in war until the aftermath of that great conflict.

Walluce would join the Dun Morogh Mountaineer Corps and become a strapping young dwarf. It is almost certainly his Mountaineering career which turned Walluce into the adventurer he was and still is today. As a member of that organization Walluce would be among the first dwarves to come in contact with the Gnomes 170 years before the opening of the Dark Portal. This experience, among others such as Ice-Troll raids and Dark Iron Skirmishes characterized Walluce's military and Mountaineering career. When he retired as a Mountaineer, approximately 120 years before the opening of the dark portal, Walluce became a scholar. The veteran devoured historical literature like Thelsamar Blood Sausage.

When King Magni shifted the industry of Ironforge from mining and metalcrafting to Archeology, Walluce was among the multitude of historians which joined the Explorer's League. Walluce partook in multiple digs and even studied the original sight which prompted this shift in industry. From the Wetlands to the Badlands, Loch Modan, Lordearon, Stranglethorn and Hillsbrad, Walluce has seen it all.

During the Second War Walluce was torn away from his adventurous lifestyle and back into the Military. As the Orcs moved northward after the first war Walluce volunteered his services to the Ironforge Military and by extension the Alliance of Lordearon. Walluce was among the number of soldiers to witness and survive the ravaging of Loch Modan. Pressed back to Ironforge, Walluce would be sent with a final force of dwarves still northward to warn and aid the Alliance of the Orc land troops headed towards the human kingdoms.

For the rest of the war Walluce would be cut off from his homeland, the Orcs of the Bleeding Hollow Clan laying siege to the great gates of the Ironforge. Instead of fighting in the Mountains he and his platoon would fight over bridges. For most of the Second War Walluce would be apart of the bitter fighting over the Thandol Span.

At the conclusion of the Second War Walluce would return to his Scholarly life but would never fully re-integrate as a member of the Explorers League. Walluce did not participate in the Third war, however in the years following it he would travel to Bael Modan as well as the Un'Goro crater and many other parts of Kalimdor. Today Walluce is a sort of archaeological maverick. Technically an agent of the Explorers League he does not receive many orders or jobs from them and instead travels from location to location on either a hunch or a whim but always a ram's saddle.
