"Master" Gill

Little detailed information can be said about the slave-turned-crime-lord that ruled over the Silvermoon underworld for a surprising period of time, other than the fact that his demented perception of humor is topped only by his raw hatred for Azeroth and all of it's living inhabitants.

Youth
Gill was born forty-five years before the culling of Stratholme, into the ownership of a slaver by the name of "Lokiboden". He lived an early life that one would believe would drive an individual insane, but it instead conditioned him. Since he was a small child, he had been beaten and tortured. It became regular, for him, and his endurance and resistance to pain became indomitable. His mother was killed several months after his birth, as a child made her weak and unfit for work, so he lacked a sense of being catered to- this made him very productive (To Lokiboden's delight).

Revolt
Shortly before the Scourge arrived in the surrounding farmlands, Lokiboden prepared to leave for Lordaeron. He instructed his workers, the slave overseers, to kill all of the slaves- that they would not be able to speak out when within the safe castle walls. The rounded up the unfortunate servants, and separated them. Females in the wine-cellar, to be executed, and males in the barn- to be slaughtered after the females. It went as planned, at first, but when the overseers went to retrieve the males, Gill rallied the slaves against the owners. The overseers were killed with farm tools the slaves had found within their prison. Gill and the others retreated from the homestead, and started the long trek to the Elven lands.

Stratholme
Gill and the runaway slaves took refuge in Stratholme when they realized the path to Silvermoon would be blocked by the expanding Scourge. They claimed an abandoned house in one of the seedier areas of the city, and tried to wait for the Alliance to clear a path through the undead aggressors. While they waited, Gill trained in the Paladin arts at one of the city chapels. He became very adept, his natural connection to the light allowing him to learn with ease.

Culling
The culling of Stratholme is a touchy subject for Gill, as he was forced to run through carnage and chaos with the other slaves- which caused him severe mental trauma. Many of his friends were killed, and only him and two others managed to escape the burning city. They blindly retreated into the undead lands, without supplies or planning, and tried to make it to Silvermoon.

Angrboden
The two others were killed early on in the undead territory- but Gill learned from this. He soon had the Scourge behaviors mapped out just as well as he had the surrounding lands. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find any way to the Elven lands, and was forced to survive in the undead territory. After a year of adapted life in the dark lands (Causing him even more mental stress) he was found by a Forsaken by the name of "Angrboden". Angrboden befriended Gill, and brought him to an old, deserted homestead. Time living there passed, and Angrboden eventually recognized Gill as his son- A mutual feeling, as Gill saw the Forsaken as a father.

Lunar Festival
They lived there for the course of the Third War, and when it was done, the undead forces had lightened. Angrboden and Gill moved to Silvermoon, and started a new life. Gill helped Angrboden with their business, a clothing trade. Gill seemed to grow a passion for clothing- fancy robes, silken and graceful. This led him to convince Angrboden into taking the elf to the Lunar Festival every year, to buy new robes. After a time, all of the festivities grew on the two, and they celebrated the holiday to it's fullest extent.

Return to Slavery
Angrboden left on a trip, to the foreign land of Kalimdor. He was to gather newer and different materials for their clothing, and he left Gill in Silvermoon to watch the shop- much to Gill's distress. It was to be the first time they'd be away from each other during the Lunar Festival, something that Gill was incredibly worried over. Surely enough, the Festival passed, and Gill did not attend without his adoptive father. He instead stayed in the shop that week, and the regular customers could see that he was evidently upset. Then the worst happened. Angrboden was to be gone for two months, but after the two passed, he did not arrive. Gill waited- waited for three months. Four months. Five months. Gill waited for a year, forced to gather materials and work the shop on his own. But still, Angrboden was gone.

House of Blood
Gill's sanity was crumbling. It seemed like all of those he ever loved were being torn away from him- but he tried to remain optimistic. He smiled when he could, and tried not of his misfortune. But, when he thought he was at an ultimate low, Silvermoon had an economic depression. He was forced to take loans from the less-popular members of society, such as a a street gang by the name of the "House of Blood". After the deadline for the loan passed, they gangsters did not think twice before they clamped a slave bracer on his wrist, and hauled him away to their headquarters. To begin his new life.

Zexa
Gill was the personal slave to one of the gang leaders, an elf named "Zexa". She was the only one who tried to be kind with the young paladin, an act that very quickly earned Gill's respect, and then his love. He cooperated with her, and with the gang, earning a place of respect (For a slave).

Rise of a Villain
He lived well within the House of Blood, surprisingly happy to be a slave to Zexa. After a time, Zexa went on an expedition to the Outland. There, she was killed by a rival gangster. An undead named "Shadowstrike".

Gill was gone.

His sanity crushed, once and for all, he ran away from the House of Blood- to the rival gang. He met Shadowstrike, and immediately got the Forsaken to amputate his arm- to be rid of the slave bracer. The arm was replaced with a ghoul's arm, through necromantic Death Knight magic. The unholy power spread through him like a wildfire- conducting to the light magic- and the elf arose a corrupted being. A fallen paladin. A Death Knight, just like the Forsaken.

Master Gill
Gill tore through the ranks of the rival gang, the "Dark Market", and soon was one of the leader's direct advisors. What the others had in strength, and power, Gill made up with the his sickening sense of cunning and trickery. And what he did not have in those, he made up for with his sickening styles of torture. Many of the thugs said that Gill did these things to help him block out his misfortune, while others said it was simply in the Death Knight's nature. Either way, Gill earned a reputation in the streets as one of the most notable crime-lords that had walked the length of Murder Row.

Deathwing
Emotionally destroyed, Gill believed that all life was cruel, and that no one deserved to smile. That no one deserved to be alive. He also believed that serving Arthas was just as bad. Instead, he claimed that Neltharion would one day free them all from their mortal bonds. His cultist influence hid beneath his criminal influence, and many started to hail to his religion along with his leadership.

Death
Gill expected to die at a young age- his ghoul arm had mutated and grown into a claw, all but destroying his health. Each day the corruption became stronger, and more dominating. He took comfort in his belief that Neltharion had heaven made just for him, and that the "Suffering" wouldn't last much longer.

Rehy
Rehy Icerunner was a member of the Dark Market alongside Gill, who eventually became a personal servant. He performed many services for the Market, although he specialized in surveillance. He was reputed as being the only Marketeer who also held a role in the Silvermoon Blood Knights, where he spied on their affairs. Rehy joined Gill's cult almost immediately, modeling his ideology directly after Gill's.

Death
With Rehy as his assistant, Gill gathered his cultists outside of Silvermoon, where they were going to sacrifice a child. Gill expected to die shortly, and they claimed the sacrifice was to help permit the fallen Paladin into heaven. But when the sacrificial knife was driven down, there was a divine intervention. A bright light rippled from the altar they built for the ritual, and channeled directly into Gill. His corruption was washed away by pure holiness, and, for the first time for many years, he was happy. This happiness was short lived, however, as Rehy "Performed his duty as a friend and a servant", and stabbed Gill. He didn't want Gill to return to the light, as he believed that Gill was abandoning his beliefs. In killing Gill, he believed that he had saved Gill's soul.
