Biography

Relatively young for a Highborne, Vendross was born in the Highborne enclave of Eldre'Thalas a hundred and fifty years before the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Because of the long lifespans of his people - aided by the War of the Ancients and the creation of Nordrassil - Vendross is only fourth-generation. While he is a natural spellcaster, he only began learning his trade as his brethren began to return to night elf society in the wake of the Shattering.

Teleported to Teldrassil along with his mentor, Mordent Evenshade, and other mages and apprentices, Vendross journeyed to the Shadowglen, where he began his training in earnest. Like most of his people in the past, Vendross sneered at the other night elves, who had been content to leave the Highborne to rot in exile until they suddenly found their world collapsing around them, and desperately came to them for help...

Entering the Alliance's Service

Learning of the Battle of Mount Hyjal and the serious issues that had assailed the kaldorei in the last decade, including the growing of Teldrassil and the corruption that had plagued it from the start, Vendross' attitude changed somewhat, and he became much more willing to aid his reunited people in their struggle against the chaos caused by the Cataclysm. On leaving Teldrassil, Vendross was met by a powerful draenei shaman named Jaeden'laek. Having heard of Vendross from allies in Darnassus, Jaeden'laek offered the mage a place in the coalition of Alliance and Horde forces. But the Highborne declined, wishing to focus solely on aiding his people. In understanding, the shaman gave Vendross a skull-topped stave that would augment his powers - the Staff of Sekhesmet, wrested from the hand of the Forsaken shadow priest by Jaeden'laek himself.

The Exploration of the World

After aiding his people in Darkshore and securing Malfurion Stormrage's efforts to keep the region from cracking itself apart, Vendross journeyed the world, from the woods of Ashenvale, besieged by the Horde, to the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale and the great Nesingwary hunt, to the dark forests of Duskwood and the tale of one of its infamous enemies, to the garrison of Northwatch in the southern Barrens and the strange overgrowth nearby. Eventually, his journeys brought him to the Western Plaguelands in Lordaeron, which were recently beginning to recover following the defeat of the Lich King. In Hearthglen, the stronghold of the Argent Crusade, Vendross offered his services to Highlord Tirion Fordring, clearing out traitors in their ranks and defeating the necromancy-practicing gnolls of Redpine Dell.

where he was put on the front lines of an increasingly brutal conflict between the Forsaken and the Alliance. Though the Alliance troops fought valiantly, the Forsaken - aided by Sylvanas Windrunner's val'kyr allies - overwhelmed them, forcing the surviving Alliance militia to retreat. The Alliance commander, the death knight Thassarian, went west into Tirisfal to hunt down Sylvanas and locate his old comrade, Koltira Deathweaver, who had commanded the Forsaken forces. Fleeing north to a camp of paladins and druids, Vendross aided a young troll named Zen'Kiki in learning his powers, and working to carry on the restoration of the blighted land.

Journeying across the Thondroril to the Eastern Plaguelands, Vendross met a Gilnean trader named Fiona, who maintained a caravan running from the river to the Argent Crusade's outposts in the east. The Gilneans - many of whom had been transformed into fierce worgen - were recent allies of the night elves; several night elf commanders had aided King Genn Greymane and his people during the Horde invasion of Gilneas, and had offered them shelter in Darnassus. The mage joined the caravan on its journey across the Plaguelands, learning more as time went on...
