Before the Scourge

This undead does not remember much of his past before his life as a member of the Forsaken but from the fragments of his memory he has managed to piece together. He knows that he was once a priest who traveled throughout the Eastern Kingdoms in the days of Lordearon before the plague decimated the region. Now as a member of the damned undead he can still almost feel the light but it seems distant and he can no longer channel its energy at will. To this day he does not remember his name or the specifics of what he did. The light though still beckons though the darkness.

The Third War

This undead has no recollection of being a member of Artha’s undead army though he has little doubt that he did horrible things that he needs to atone for.

The Mage

His first memory of being undead was awakening in Deathknell and being welcomed into the Forsaken by Isabella, a mage trainer assigned by the Banshee Queen herself to find those corpses with an aptitude for magic, reanimating, and providing basic training for induction into the Magic Quarter of the Undercity. Isabella sensed the untapped potential of the lost priest and was amazed at how quickly he picked up the spells and incantations of fire and arcane. Isabella kept him in the village longer than most and under her guidance he assisted in the training of new mages into the ranks of the Forsaken. Isabella gave him his name, Mentor and he traveled between Deathknell, Brill, and the Undercity on assignment from Isabella who took him as her personal apprentice.

In a year Mentor had learned everything that Isabella and Bethor Iceshard could teach him. He left Deathknell and traveled all of Azeroth in an attempt to learn more about magic and of himself.

Mentor & Sam

In one of his many adventures Mentor was sent on a quest to destroy dragon nests outside of Onyxia’s Lair in the Wyrmbog of Dustwallow Marsh. One of the eggs hatched during his quest and the dragon whelp looked up at him and Mentor could not bring himself to kill it. The dragon looked very different than the other whelps that plagued the area and it surprised Mentor when it spoke to him telepathically deep in his undead mind calling him Momma. He named this whelp Sam not realizing at first that the whelp was in fact a girl. He claims to this day that Sam was always intended to be short for Samantha.

Sam has a very different personality than that of her companion. She is self centered, egotistical, and lazy. She prefers sunning herself on a rock while Mentor is working on quests. She does absolutely no work but will always beg for presents when Mentor is in a village or capital city. Sam considers herself to be the daughter of Onyxia and the Aspect of love, peace, and harmony (She is completely lost on the history of her brood). She has never been confirmed as an aspect by any of the dragon’s Mentor has met though he has found over the years that dragons treat his flapping friend with a certain amount of respect and always call her by her full name Samantha. The dragon whelp learned a bit of magic from Mentor and her peers over the years as well as the ability to shape shift into a human woman with black hair and blue eyes.

Death Knighthood

Mentor returned to Azeroth after Illidan had been unseated from his throne in the Black Temple. He was mentally exhausted and retired to the village of Brill to sleep in the large restful cemetery there. Sam left him to go on a self discovery adventure of her own. When she returned to Brill a few months later she found the mage’s chosen crypt empty. She eventually learned that Mentor’s sleeping body had been harvested by the mindless Scourge in the area and taken into the Eastern Plaguelands. There he was reformed by the minions of the Lich King into a strong and powerful Death Knight. The Scourge took the retired mage and gave him a renewed purpose. They twisted his mind and filled it with hatred of all things living. Sam tried to stop his relentless killing of the men, woman, and children of New Avalon but Mentor defeated her and raised her again to fight at his side as a frost whelp companion. Mentor and Sam were united once again and served the Lich King until the fateful battle at the steps of Light Hope Chapel. Once on the sacred ground Mentor felt the power of the Light wash over his mind cleansing it and removing the maddening voice of the Lich King.

Redemption

Mentor stopped attacking and was thrown by a Scourge Abomination inside of the chapel where he was confronted with the ghost of a dead priest who recognized Mentor as a fellow priest of Lorderon. The ghost further broke the grip of the Lich King on Mentor’s soul and also cleansed the mind of Sam in the process. Mentor helped his fellow Death Knight’s turn the battle and watched as the Lich King fled from the field in disgrace. Mentor has sword allegiance now to the Knight’s of the Ebon Blade. His knowledge of frost as a Mage has served him well and he has also mastered the arts of Blood and Unholy faster than his peers. He has regained his status in the Undercity and still returns to play chess with Isabella in Deathknell whenever he can get a chance. Sam stays by Mentor’s side and hates the nickname he gave her, Frosty. The dragon’s or the Wyrmrest temple still recognize Sam as one of their own and still give her the respect of her full name despite her transformation.

Mentor and Sam can be found throughout Northrend questing together with various parties while pursuing the Ebon Blade’s ultimate goal of killing the Lich King.
