Bloodjoy

Anandor Bloodjoy was born about 300 years ago in Quel’Thalas. He and his twin Anathior came from a family of High Elves. Their parents didn’t show any special aptitude toward magic or the military. Trying to find a place in Silvemoon society, his father became a trader of exotic goods, traveling all over Azeroth looking for merchandise that could satisfy the sophisticated tastes of the Nobility of Quel’Thalas. It didn’t take too long to his family become wealthy enough to gain some respectability in Silvermoon.

Both brothers shared an almost identical physical appearance but striking different personalities. Anathior always was struggling to be accepted by the high class in Quel’Thalas. Given his family tradition he didn’t show particular skills in the arts of the arcane but he became obsessed with being a soldier. His efforts paid up and he gained entrance in Silvermoon Guard. Anandor, conversely, took the reins of the family business, expanding it. He became a recognized fur and leather merchant and his craft was in high demand in Silvermoon and beyond. He despised the attitude of Anathior and never showed interest in becoming part of the high society of Silvemoon. However, both brothers were extremely close and shared a deep respect for each other.

Anandor enjoyed being in the wild, ambushing strange beasts to get their skins and selling them with huge profits. Defeating some of them represented quite a challenge, so without doing it on purpose he learned to use poisons, how to meld with the environment, remaining unnoticed and getting a hand up in the fight. Also, during that time he traveled all over Azeroth interacting with Humans, Dwarves and Trolls from the Gurubashi empire looking for the oddest artifacts and goods to satisfy the greed and snobbism of his clients in Silvermoon City. Even he was able to travel to Kalimdor and trade secretly with the Kaldorei, willing to forget old grudges for the right price.

In an odd sequence of events his aptitudes as a Rogue were discovered for a secret order of Sin’dorei activists. The Scourge invasion and destruction of Quel’Thalas, along with the death of Anathior in battle found him eager to accept the tasks offered by them.

He was taken prisoner with other Sin’dorei by the Alliance during the third war. It happened that his wardens were some of his old clients from the time that he freely traded goods with them.

These friends make Anandor’s captivity bearable compared with what other prisoners were enduring, however, at some point they got distracted and left him unguarded. He used this chance to lock pick his dungeon’s door and escaped. When this was discovered, his wardens were executed as traitors. From that time their ghosts show up out of nowhere, in the most unexpected moments terrorizing him. Since then he holds a deep hatred by the Alliance for making him a cursed man

Shortly after the discovering of Kael’thas betrayal he was engaged to marry Darain, a powerful magi. Their happiness was short lived. The day before the wedding Darain was required to depart to “The Realm of Nightmares”, and she died fighting a foe way more powerful that any living being in all Azeroth.

Anandor fell in a deep depression after that and he engaged eagerly in all the tasks from his “employers” trying to forget Darain with short lived relationships.

As employee of the secret order, all his assigned targets were members of the Cult of the Damned, however, recently he uncovered that the final goal of that group was to undermine the power structure of Silvermoon, even with the sacrifice of civilians. He then resigned and joined the Sunguard. Since then the secret order set a bounty to his head, and he is man marked to death.
