Zayneth Shadowspite

On the short side of average height and blessed with broad shoulders and sturdy muscles, this elf is generally unremarkable amid a sea of very pretty people. His jaw is usually bearing a day-old blond scruff and his long hair seems more like carelessness than fashion. Close inspection reveals that his eyes seem slightly off, glassy and imperfect at tracking those around him. He gives no impression that he finds it difficult to see. Lately, he's been spotted wearing a worn strip of red leather across his eyes like a demon hunter.

His clothes are generally sturdy leather or netherweave. He speaks quietly, puts on no airs, and often keeps to himself. Those who get so close into his personal space as to be uncomfortable for all parties may realize he smells like incense smoke.

At a Glance:
Smells like... Woodsy incense and warm leather.
Shiny! Wearing a pendant of a small, silver penguin on a silver chain.
Blindfolded. Wearing a strip of well-worn red leather across the bridge of his nose. It's all the rage these days.

Records in Silvermoon City list the Shadowspite family as mercenary soldiers of no noble line. Only one family member is listed as 'living' though two remain on record.

Supporters of Kael'thas in the months after the destruction of the Sunwell may recall Zayneth and a tall, burly woman among his followers. Those with very clear memories of that time may know that he followed Kael'thas to Outland and was among the Sunfury who lost faith in the Sun King in the end. A few demon hunters may recognize him as one thought to have died on his first hunt near the Hand of Gul'dan in Shadowmoon Valley.

Some people may have seen this soft-spoken, quiet man playing guitar on a street corner in a northern residential district of Silvermoon with a hat set out for coins. Others may have seen him with the Succulent Tart performance arts troupe, or blowing glass in a small shop in the Bazaar district.

Demon hunter: This character has been written as a "failed," washed-out demon hunter who never attained full hunter status. Over the course of the Legion expansion, he'll have that second chance. He's never been to Mardum, nor shares the experience of years locked in the Wardens' Cage.
