History

Axel was born to a whore in Kul Tiras. Obviously, he didn't know his father and his mother left her child to be raised in an orphanage. Kul Tiras was a fairly wealthy nation at the time so Axel was raised with a certain degree of care but was given a good amount of independence through out his childhood and teenage years.

After the Second War, the island became considerable poorer after the destruction of the Kul Tiras fleet. The destruction of the fleet lead to an increased criminal element, with which Axel got involved, doing seemingly harmless jobs such as courier and minor smuggling. He traveled between Stormwind, the Goblin port cities and Kul Tiras for a couple of years, up until he was 20. At 20 years of age, Axel was caught smuggling weapons into Kul Tiras from the mainland. He was given a choice, either enlist into the army for a couple years of mandatory service or serve a long term in prison. He chose the military service. Eventually his contact with the criminal group he was working for died off along with the group disappearing a few years later. He served as a generic guard on the docks for about year, until his unit was led on an expedition along with other forces into Kalimdor. During the colonization of Dustwallow Marsh, Axel was involved in a couple of skirmishes until he took a debilitating arrow to the leg.

While he was out of commission, he did his duty by patching up wounded soldiers back at base camp. Axel developed a penchant for healing people the traditional way. After healing from the wound, Axel kept on treating wounded soldiers and commoners who now lived in Theramore. After the major fighting was over, Axel has been treating folks in Theramore for about five years, accumulating a good amount of experience with healing folks of various races. He was also taught the basics of alchemy and herbalism, with which he was able to create various potions and salves that enhanced his treatments. After five years he was able to leave the military as his contract stated and so he did.

The pay wasn't great and Axel's savings were spent quickly. He turned to looting, scavenging for valuables and selling exotic and homebrewn potions and elixirs usually not carried by alchemists to whoever wanted them. He started traveling excessively, finding it impossible to stay in one place for one time, offering his services as a medic and alchemist to whoever was willing to pay.
