Auldrell is an undead Death Knight.

Description
Auldrell is a Forsaken man who is occasionally glimpsed skulking about the thoroughfares of the Undercity or Silvermoon. He walks and runs hunched over with a strange, skittering gait that is vaguely disconcerting to watch, and frequently talks to himself. Moths constantly flutter about his armor; it seems as if his partially decomposed flesh is infested with the creatures. Although his clothing is rarely consistent, he always wears a mask or helmet over his face. If questioned, his impeccable reasoning generally goes along the lines of: "We hide ourselves from prying eyes, yesss, prying eyes."

It is immediately clear upon meeting Auldrell that he is completely unhinged. He consistently refers to himself in the third person, forgets important details about his past and the world in general, and often expresses a strong desire to devour other people's internal organs at random points during otherwise normal conversations. He greets "friends" and passers-by by sniffing them (or, less desirably, by licking them). Although he is nearly impossible to physically startle, he often responds to unexpected stimuli by emitting loud, piercing shrieks and then calmly resuming his previous activities as if nothing out of the ordinary has just transpired. Needless to say, he is rather difficult to engage in coherent discourse, but even so he occasionally exhibits flashes of surprising insight that hint at the rational, intelligent person he used to be before his undeath.

Current Affairs
Auldrell is currently traveling through the areas of Northrend that are easily accessible from Orgrimmar and the Undercity by zeppelin, sampling the various new organs available to him there. He bemoans the fact that there are "less spore-things, yesss," presumably referring to the wildlife of Zangarmarsh, but has admitted to enjoying "the tender meatstuffs of northern antler-beasts, yesss, and of iron dwarves."

He is also working on his alchemy in an effort to reclaim some of his previous skill.

Past
Little is known about Auldrell's past, except that he was once a high elf and an alchemist of considerable talent (at least, according to him). His habit of frequenting Silvermoon City suggests that he possibly lived or worked there in life.

The fact that he has died twice (risen first as a Forsaken, and then subsequently as a Death Knight) may be responsible for his mental state.
