History
Born in the forests of Stranglethorn, Shandrak did not know his parents; both were slain during the wars amongst the tribes of the Guburashi Empire. Raised by a tribe elder from birth Shandrak was considered lucky to survive growing up with the constant war among the Empire, their expelling from the Humans, and capture by Murlocs. He was roughly 17 when the Darkspear where brought into the Horde and Shandrak took the time to learn the ways of Shamanism.

As he grew older he was given the title of witchdoctor at the age of 18 to signify his ability to commune with the elements and make potions of great magic. One night shortly after having been granted his title of honor Shandrak decided to travel to Orgrimmar to visit an old friend. On his was he was attacked in surprise by a group of Alliance raiders. The fight was a glorious and bloody battle, however midway through the fight Shandrak was shot from behind in his shoulder and he fell to the ground. As he laid their bleeding suddenly two figures appeared before him and a blunt object struck him and the world fell dark. A few days later he awoke to found himself in a cell of sorts and in it with an old orc. Slowly the Orc approached him and offered some water to him, identifying himself as Gruzthor Thundermaw; another Shaman. Queejo had healed him and explained that they were being held captive in an Alliance prison. Over time Gruzthor taught Shandrak more about Shamanism than he had learned before. Little is known as to what happened during their captivity, mostly because Shandrak refuses to talk about it openly. It is known that at some point 6 months into his captivity both were able to escape. Over two months they traveled across Azeroth and made their way back to Orgrimmar.

After making way to Orgrimmar, Shandrak thanked Gruzthor and parted ways heading back to Sen'jin Village. Overtime Shandrak helped share what he had learned but found himself wanting adventure and to explore. More so he wanted revenge against his captures. One day he was told of a clan known as the Stormrock Clan. An honorable group of Trolls, Orc, and Tauren who fought for the old ways of the Horde and sought to challenge the Alliance. Taking leave from his village, Shandrak sought them out and has joined them and their quest.
