Short Bio:

Vulpe is a quiet young man whom lost his family to the scourge when they invaded. Vulpe belonged to a family of four, his father, mother, and older brother whom are now dead or wandering around as a part of the scourge. His strong ability in the light lead him to becoming a Blood Knight. After serving in the Shattered Sun Vulpe returned home to recover from injuries and reunited with his brother. The two shared a few bright moments but it eventually ended the way all Paladin and Death Knight encounters tend to. The combination of Aldo's power as a Death Knight and the odd fixation Vulpe had for the Runeblade would later cause him to become a Death knight, being liberated from the Scourge at battle of Light's Hope Chapel. Vulpe and his companion Aisha left for Northrend to aid in establishing Ebon Blade settlements shortly before returning to Silvermoon.

Physical description: Vulpe is generally found wearing a calm expression and often acts emotionless unless in the presence of friends or those he respects. Born with black hair which he dyed red in respect for fallen Sin'dorei, it's now an icy violet and long enough to be worn in a ponytail.

Vulpe's height is average when compared to other Sin'dorei and a little on the underweight side, eating perhaps once a day now that the nourishment food provides isn't as vital to his 'living'.

Personality: Vulpe is often very quiet, normally only speaking when he is spoken to. Often times he can be spotted staring blankly at a wall, typically thinking deeply about the subjects that now plague him as a Knight of Death. He is often kind and willing to go the extra mile for friends or loved ones, wanting to prove not all Death Knights are evil and malicious as they once were. In battle he typically keeps a leveled head and considers every factor of the battle, the blessing and curse of Immortality that The Lich King bestowed on Death Knight's now allows him to be far more of a protector than he once was. This blessing and curse is one of the things he almost always ponders, constantly questioning if he'll ever get out of the place inbetween life and death. He's also a bit of an oddball and talkative once he is used to someone, how typical of the quiet type!

Character History:

Vulpe was born into the family Nebel, which comprised of himself, his older brother Aldo, his mother Vistine, and his father Dencente. The family was originally from the area around where the Eastern Plaguelands are, they moved to Suncrown before Vulpe was born. His mother was a powerful Shadow Priestess whom helped the Suncrown family with issues from time to time, also discussing Vulpe’s place in society with the head of the family, Luthias. His father was a Holy Priest, teaching the younger members of the town to use the light and power of the Sunwell to help others. Because of his mother and father’s abilities, Vulpe often found himself trying to be won over by either of the two as his brother Aldo had chosen to become a Ranger early in his life and not a Priest

When the Scourge invaded his parents had Aldo take his brother to a safe place in the mountain area near Suncrown village. The last time Vulpe saw his parents they were rushing into a group of abominations and ghouls with others from the town. Vulpe's brother abandoned him as he slept in a cave commonly used by village youngsters to play in, it would be 6 years or so later that the brothers united.

After spending 5 years surviving often on his own in the forests of Quel'thalas Vulpe heard word of Silvermoon being retaken and headed there as quickly as he could on aching feet. Much to his surprise he would find the Suncrown family and pledge his services to them in return for a home and training as a Blood Knight. Several months later and as a skilled Blood Knight Vulpe would join the Shattered Sun Offensive in retaking the Isle of Quel'danas. During his time serving his squad would come under attack by Naga and leave a majority of them including Vulpe badly injured. After being recovered from the Isle he returned to his home in Fairbreeze and reunited with his brother Aldo. After a few fights over the taboo subject Necromancy the brothers fought and Vulpe ended up getting all too lucky and for a short time rendered Aldo conscious, taking the Runeblade with him in hopes that it would somehow save his brother.

Over the next few weeks Vulpe's strange fixation with the Runeblade and his run in with his brother caused him to subconsiously grow in hunger for the power Aldo was able to wield with little effort. Vulpe knew it was wrong and tried all the time to fight this hunger but finally gave in, lying about going to purify his brothers blade to save his soul. After a day or so of travel the Blood Knight found himself slipping through the mountains near Tyr's Hand and coming into direct contact with Lich King controlled Death Knights. Flashing the Runeblade and explaining why he was there allowed Vulpe safe access to Acherus, where he pledged himself to the Lich King and 'turned'. During his time serving in the Scourge he would do things he later regretted and now as a free being he works near endlessly on not only his salvation but the salvation of those who have suffered at the hands of Arthas Menethil.

Vulpe now works as the head of The Raven's Ward under the Aetherforge family. When not doing work for Kallise Aetherforge, he is in Northrend working with Highlord Darion Mograine. Since the attack on Icecrown Citadel he seldom spends time in Silvermoon, now almost always in Icecrown fighting beside his fellow Knights of the Ebon Blade.

Relations with both the Horde and Alliance:

Relationship with other characters:

His relationship with others is rather rocky for obvious reasons.

Aora: Aora doesn't seem to mind him nor the Ghouls he commonly has around him, when the two aren't discussing Ulian's insane plans they tend to
discuss the daily life and books written in Runes.

Kallise: Someone Vulpe likes alot, she took him in after he returned as a Death Knight and gave him a reason to stick around, his loyalty to her is as
fierce as it is to Darion Mograine.

Melitha: She's always a fun person to be around, he hasn't spent time with her much and misses harassing her Imp.

Porcelyne: Scary as fel! Never stops talking about Sara'thai.

Ulian: <This section was replaced with a giant black line.>

Valinmar: An interesting man, his ties to Rellen'thas make Vulpe all the more eager to get to know him.

Enani: She's back, so he has someone familiar to spend time with.

Elaledr: A strange man with a strong interest in Necromancy, could be a great ally.

Opinions of the other races of Azeroth:

Vulpe holds a grudge of sorts with the Night and High elves for their racism towards the Blood elves, he has family in all three branches of Elves and because of this is all the more infuriated because it makes it borderline impossible to meet or speak with any of them. He dislikes almost every other race save the Draenei due to his time spent with them as a Shattered Sun Paladin. Although he hates most races he makes exceptions for Death Knight's of any races as most if not all of their former allies and friends have rejected them and the Knights of the Ebon Blade are expected to treat their own with
respect.
