Personality

Iyithikon is an Assassin, or something close to it, and as such has remained anti-social and slightly misanthropic. Even though he has never met, or even seen The Banshee Queen, Iyithikon stays incredibly loyal to her, and would follow her decision without hesitation, much like any other Forsaken citizen.

As a petty mercenary, Iyithikon stays loyal to her, and whoever is paying for his services. Unfortunately, He picked the wrong line of work at the wrong time, as many civilians have taken up assassination in these hard times, and so he is quite poor. He takes this all in stride, as the only three things he trusts and needs, are him, his blades and his Queen.

Although he too was once Human, and Living, Iyithikon resents all living creatures with a fierce passion, and is known to brutally murder innocent people. During his mindless phase of Undeath, Iyithikon lost his lower jaw, and is (Uncharacteristically) self-conscious about it. He has replaced it with a (sometimes) moving metal replacement. He covers this with face wraps and masks whenever he can.

Iyithikon's skills as a mercenary, thief, assassin, or whatever is necessary at the time, all come from his (Rather unusual) background as a Bartender. He uses these skills to either pick out targets to eliminate, Steal objects undetected, defend himself in battle, or serve up a heavy mug of ale.

Other: Iyithikon's Name comes from a combination of his two Human names. He uses this, as he had made powerful enemies as a human, and fears that those enemies may have become Forsaken too. Kiyth Serkon, or (K/Iyith/I/Ser/Kon).

History

Kiyth was the product of rape, one cold morning on the outskirts of Stratholme; Kiyth's mother was attacked, mugged, and dealt to. She never spoke to anyone, and brought the child into the world secretly. She never really treated him as a child, more of a tag along that helped her occasionally, thus scarring most of Kiyth's childhood as he and his unfit mother struggled to survive. Although he wasn't publicly educated, the other schoolboys and older kids taught him a fair, and harsh, deal of information about the world. He took his childhood for what He got; using everything he had at his disposal to make his life a little more comfortable.

Finally, when his mother passed, he up and left the cold streets of his home city and traveled off to Tirisfal Glades, hoping to find somewhere to begin anew. He never found it, and ended up slaving away on the Balnir Farmstead for several of his short, living Years. Once he had grown tired of farm work, Kiyth proceeded (More "escaped" from his prison of menial labour, much to the disgust and rage of his employers, hence the "powerful enemies mentioned above) towards Brill. Unfortunately, he had just walked into the doomed settlement just as Kel'Thuzad had begun his twisted experiments. Completely unaware was Kiyth, and most other Brill residents, so they continued work as usual.

Kiyth had applied to work as the bartender of the Gallows End Tavern, and was being trained as the Plague was spread. He began to handle the Plagued food and other items unwittingly, and exposed himself and others to the disease. He then fell immediately sick, and within days, succumbed to his condition and died, almost ironically, in the Tavern cellar while fixing a barrel of ale. He laid there, cold, rotting and smelling for weeks until the Scourge raised him to fight.

Over the years to come, he fought for the Scourge, following the war machine wherever it went. He remembers nothing of this time, and it was only until the fallen High Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner had broken free of the Lich King's grasp and freed thousands more, that he slowly assumed a conscious and free thinking mind. From then on, Kiyth scavenged whatever he could to survive, unknowing to the “Gift” he had been given; He did not need food, air, shelter, or even love. He lived alone in the ruins of dilapidated houses of various homesteads throughout Tirisfal and Silverpine, Until the Undercity was formed.

Years alone had taught Kiyth to be cautious of new and strange things, so he had not entered the city for months. It was only until he heard the call of his Queen that he ventured into the subterranean city, and it was there that he found his calling. Kiyth wanted nothing more than to serve his Queen, but the only way he could think to do this was on a much smaller and indirect way. So he took up the work of assassination. He believed that by defeating his enemies, he would be defeating the enemies of his Queen. So now, adopting the new name of Iyithikon, he began his work, skulking around the dark passageways of the Undercity looking for whatever job is required.
