Dramatis Personae - Part 2

Thestis Dawnweaver

Race: Blood Elf
Class: Mage
Age: 125

Character Traits: Haughty, arrogant, inferiority complex.

Thestis led an average life for the son of a Magister of Silvermoon; pampered and wealthy and in possession of a large amount of political clout due to his station. However, he was never naturally talented with the arts of magic and, unlike some of his peers at the Dalaran academy, required to spend hours pouring over scrolls to understand even the most simple of enchantments. Much to his father's constant (and vocal) disappointment.

This constant feeling of inferiority has plagued him throgughout his life, leading to him building a large and fragile ego - One he will subconciously shield from outside battering by dismissing more powerful spellcasters, and even his allies, as inferior. Either for the nature of their art ("That's not real magic.") or their race - Due to this his relations with the other races of the Horde are strained, at best, and he would much rather his foolish leaders (Thestis would do a much better job, oh yes) had rejoined the Alliance.

Shame from being too weak-willed to bear the withdrawal effects from the corruption of the Sunwell and being forced to absorb fel magic has only made his attitude worse.

Thestis understands the threat that both the Burning Legion and the Lich King pose to all of Azeroth, yet only seeks to aid the hard-pressed armies of the horde for personal gain:

If he can show himself as a hero in the eyes of the Kirin'Tor, perhaps the High-Elf wife that disowned him for siding with the blood elves will take him back...
