History

Vanden was born to a family of lumberjacks and hunters who heavily valued living off the land and moral values. Vanden however did not share these values and often would stay away from his family home and slum around Ironforge. As soon as he came of age Vanden packed up, stole one of his father's guns, and moved to Kharanos.

Whilst in Kharanos Vanden met an enterprising Gnome named Gimby Metatonk. Gimby was a crafty Gnome and convinced Vanden to go sneaking around and stealing from Gimby's competitors. Soon Gimby gained a sum of wealth and moved up to Ironforge, bringing Vanden and some other thugs with him. Vanden continued his work Gimby not realizing the bad he was doing. After the Second War, Vanden had found both his father and all of his brothers had been killed fighting Dragonmaw Orcs.

Vanden had inherited the estate, his mother had passed away years before and Vanden found himself alone in his family hovel. Gimby and his thugs wanted to use the house for monetary gain somehow, Vanden found himself remembering the morals of his family and he suddenly felt guilty. Having no way of getting rid of Gimby and his thugs he tolerated them. Eventually Vanden grew to a point where he couldn't stand Gimby's selfish ways, still having no way to eschew of Gimby he left his home again and joined the military.

Vanden had joined the military just as the Third War had started and he soon found himself in Lordaeron fighting off The Scourge. While fighting against The Scourge Vanden had a traumatic incident where the majority of his regiment was taken out by a troop of ghouls headed by an abomination. After this, Vanden was very changed, he soon began to see evil as intolerable and after The Third War ended Vanden returned to his home and crept in during the night while Gimby and the others were sleeping and subdued them, and then turned them into the authorities.

Now Vanden does some small time hunting and bounty hunter work, he typically explores and doesn't restrict himself to just Khaz Modan and likes to travel all over.
