Personality

Ezarg at his best is insightful, genuine, careful, and methodical. At his worse he is, anxious, defensive, and filled with a decaying self-pity. Ezarg is aware of his state, but unaware of just how bad it is. Ezarg is amazed when he manages the nerve to pull himself from his cot in the morning, but disarmed when he realizes he never needs to sleep. He does it anyway. He desperately tries to appear as ‘alive' as he can around other Orcs, never fully assuming his undead form.

Ezarg feels he was no great hero militarily, but among shaman circles, he feels a failure. Ezarg believed himself to be a representative for Orcish culture, but after being converted, Ezarg feels shamed in a very deep way. He feels he was martyred for his faith in the Forsaken, but the idea of being a victim sickens Ezarg on a constant. Ezarg feels compelled to make up for his failures, by withstanding as much suffering as possible, even. He is willing to throw himself at the mercy of other Orcs in attempts to redeem himself in their eyes.

The strongest perversion Ezarg seems to deal with is this looming sense of self-destruction. Ezarg fears he will defect back to the Scourge again and his hate for the Scourge is so strong he considers killing himself to be a form of redemption and a way at fighting off the Lich King.

History

Ezarg, born to Grolynt of the Warsong, was always focused on the here and now. As a child he could only play spectator to the series of events that would eventually lead him and the Orcs to Kalimdor. Upon landfall, Ezarg disembarked with his father and fought hard against the Razormane ‘pig-men', garnering a respect from his aging father that would eventually push him onto his next trial.

Ogrimmar's construction has already begun, but for Ezarg, this is a time of utmost importance. It was no secret that Ezarg pushed for the title of Shaman, after all, the visions he experienced were proof of a fate beyond a warrior. He was given a sapta by one of the many Seer's in hiding, eked out by Thrall not too long ago. As a new student of a nearly lost art, Ezarg felt a great sense of duty and was successful in his trials. His eagerness and energy were put to use soon, and he was asked to leave and aid the newest ally of the Horde.

No amount of study or ritualistic prayer could have prepared Ezarg to serve with Forsaken, much less to protect the Bulwark. Fearful of persecution for his otherworldly talents, Ezarg tried hard to hide his shamanism from the Forsaken, and at the same time tried to play priest for the Orcs who also left with him. The majority of the grueling campaign kept Ezarg at the Bulwark, fighting on a constant to keep the hordes of the Scourge back. It was during these vicious defenses that Ezarg was acquainted with a certain Argent Dawn officer, an Orc. He spoke of a trial which asked him to go out, alone, and to kill undead. Ezarg believed he could simulate this test and alleviate his brothers that fought at the chokepoint.

Ezarg strung together several skulls of the Undead he killed in defending the Bulwark and set out in the night to call on the spirits to inspire his allies and to stave off the Scourge. Soon enough, he was hearing voices. He drank rainwater from the skulls of his kills and tied the fetish along the largest limb of a dead tree. The voices only got stronger and Ezarg felt it was time to fight. He pulled father's club to his hand and it raised it in the sky. With a booming roar accompanied by a strike of thunder and lightning, Ezarg woke up the defenders at the Bulwark and alerted every member of the Scourge nearby. Ezarg channeled this energy into his body from the sky, but it had been so long since he had done it before. His arm was burned badly and the limb holding his totem was cut by the bolt of lightning. It fell and knocked Ezarg into the earth, unconscious. The voice did not stop however, and what were many voices had now become one.

Ezarg's display of power, and arrogance, put him on a list of potential Death Knights, and it was to be. He fought under the Lich King's thrall for a time, killing some of his allies at the Bulwark, and slaughtering many others, until the Ebon Hold's intervention. Now freed, Ezarg is fearful for the future and angry for his mistakes. He has wandered around and about Orgrimmar, half of him wishing to find his father, and the other half hoping never to see him again. Feeling he had dishonored him, and never having earned a name for himself, Ezarg has adopted the title 'Son-Of-None' as a perpetual mark of shame. This is probably the most apparent symbol of his self-pity.

Ezarg took the breakaway in the Horde hard, he believed he understood the Forsaken now, better than ever before and was desperate for their eventual return, which came. Now, Ezarg is willing to help the Forsaken, feeling a bond with him he no longer feels with Orcs. He is now either ignorant of the Forsaken's apprehension, or ignoring it. In either case, he is prepared to suffer any cost to regain his honor, assuming he won't sacrifice that as well.
