Boris mental and physical state

During the third war, that would be around 5 or so years ago Boris was at his peak. He had passed 30 by some years but was still a strong going man. His hair was dark raven-black. His presence was commanding, his voice booming and his eyes flamed with a will of Iron. In the battles he would shout it out loud as he drew his axe into the flesh and bones of his enemies.

But even the years comes to Boris who feels that he gets older. He is still a strong man in his physics even thou his joints are abit stiffer and the muscles are abit more stiffer as well. His hair has gone abit more gray and has lost its shine and his voice is not so booming anymore nor is his presence as commanding as it once was.

His mind is that of a simple man. All the years in the army has made him a man that acts on orders rather than thinks. He has his thoughts about things but for most he has a hard time understanding things. His brain has had some major trauma in his life due to a large number of hits and the alarm of the battle is sounding alot.

Boris also suffers now and then from temporary amnesia, especially from the wars. Yet the memories haunt him in his dreams when he is not comfortable. He dont like to show it or talk about it but his dreams comes now and then. He can also handle his epilepsy quite well but gets his attacks now and then but they are rare.

For him, to settle down seems like a hard thing. And he wont, not as long as there is war in the world, he has tried but it has never worked out. He mostly sleeps in barracks with other soldiers like him.

He finds a great pleasure in blacksmithing, hammering on a piece of metal of some kind making it to a armorpart. Its more rough and not as precise as weaponsmithinng is so it fits him mutch better. He lends his skills as a blacksmith to the army as well repairing armor and other items. He is not mutch of a trainer but supports in other way to the wareffort. He also helps to create new items. It happens also that he trains people in using weapons but that is rarely. Boris also helps out the fieldmedics since he has good skills with the first aid and does some work for the cookingpart. He would therefore be considered a quartermaster of the army.

Appendix

Appendix 1

The fate of Yelena

When Yelena gave birth to Boris she was only 16 years old. She was by look a very beautiful woman and attractive as slave. She also had good hand with most of the stuff a woman was supposed to do. She ate very little trying to give Boris as mutch as possible. She wanted him to grow strong and be a a young man that could work. When Boris was 14 they was separated since she then was sold to another man. She had reached some age but was still a good slave and her looks was still with her.

She would be sold to a man in Kul Tiras and worked in his home as a housemaid. The life in Kul Tiras was not a to bad one but she missed her son very mutch. When the orcs came to overrun Kul Tiras her lord and his household fleed to Lorderon for a while.

Since she had to work all day every day she had no chance to make any contact with Boris, nor write to him since could not write either. When the tide turned her lord and the household moved back to Kul Tiras again. She got news what had happend in Southshore some while after when Dragan tired to seek refuge there but it was without luck. Yelena got devestated and wanted to take her life but could not do it. The lord didnt like what she become and fired her, Many nobles where going back down to Stormwind to build it up again and Yelena was sold to another man and taken down to Stormwind and duskwood. It was not long before she was giving birth to another child, a girl. But since she was old her body could not take mutch more of it after the birth and she died soon after.

Dragans Destiny

After that Dragan had fleed with his sons he would flee up to Alterac where the nobles didnt want take active part in the war and where corruption had spread among them. There would be a perfect place for Dragan to start up again. But it was hard since he was short on money and had little contact up there with the nobles. He would have to rely on cheating, lieing and stealing his way forth. He and his sons made a trio of robbers that would sack, pillage and steal whatever they could come over and with the large stream of refuges that was a simple task that in short time made them rich and famous. Soon they would bound more and more men to themselves. The times where good for the men and many times they would also trade with the orcs and goblins selling out the humans.

They woul also after the war take part in the riot at Tyrs hand but fleed when the kingdom of Alterac was overrunned by Lorderon. But they would soon come back again and rode around causing terror and destruction.

Anthony Archleaf had fleed from Kul Tiras since it was discovered he was an ally with both the Syndicate and Bloodsail Buccaners. He and a few loyal men would join forces with Dragan and his thugs. They would reign a while as crimelords but soon they would be besieged and overrunned by the armies of Lorderon and Kul Tiras who wanted them both.

How Oleg came to be

Oleg Draago was a man litterally born on the streets. He was an orphan and had really no place to go other than the streets of Tarren mill where he would grow up. In early age he learned to fight and had a talent for it, he mostly fought with his fist but also with knives, sticks and other minor weapons. He was whipped, put to jail a few times but never did anything better. He drank to mutch, gambled to mutch and was a easy catch for Naser who needed a bodyguard. Oleg was tricked to belive that he was Nasers friend who really didnt gave a smuck about him. His strenght was not in his mind but in his fists.
But when Naser found out that he had made Yelena pregenant he had Oleg taken out and beaten to death. Why Naser didnt did the same to the child one can of course ask but the it would be likely to think that Naser saw Boris as someon

Introduction A long time ago…in a galaxy far away…nah But maybe yes, maybe this is a story from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, at least they speak english, as well as the charecters in Azeroth do, or at least that is what they want us to think that they do. Why am I sitting here? At worktime writing this, I have no idea, guess I am abit bored, anyway. Here it is, I know I have done this alot of times, to many times really, but now I think I have most bits and pieces in it. So I give you, the complete biography over Boris Draago. Background As you know, or may not know but I am to tell you anyway so you will know it. Anyway, The arathor, who came from Arathi highlands up in the northen part of Azaroth was formed from a union of several smaller tribes. One of these tribes where the Cezckav tribe. They where mountain nomads living high in the mountains using it for defence. They had been fighting with other diffrent tribes but was mostly to them selves. When Arathor came they choosed to become a part of them with little trouble. Only a few fights was seen. The tribe tried within the Arathor live for them selves but was soon mixed out with other tribes and became humans. But many of the male hold on to their large physics. They would aid in the Troll wars fighting with humans and High elves. The relations with the High elves and humans remained strong as the years went on but they would also form their part in the Arathor Alliance. Not many of them seeked nobility since they felt it was nothing for them. They didnt mind hard manual labour and living simple. They would become miners, lumberjacks, farmhands and craftsmen. This keept them being quite large in built and they would not seek education. They where workers and when they fought they would be warriors. Some advanced from being a farmhand to become a farmer them selves. In the beginning not many of them would turn into crime either but as the time went by and their bloodlines where mixed up the world of crime would clash with theirs. When the dwarves came to the world a large portion of the tribe felt a connection to them and started to trade with them at early stadges and was one of the first to do trade with them. In the centuries and milleniums to come the tribe would become more and more like any humans and a few where the blood was thin started to seek nobility. But for many of them they just prefered the simple life as they always have had. When it came to a riding mount many prefered a larger version of the ram instead of the horse even thou many also rode horses, of those that actually rode. Since influences came from both dwarfs and humans this would not be anything strange. The ties with the gnomes was not as strong as the ones with dwarves and humans but they would be open and friendly. Part 1: The story begins Boris great grandfather had two sons which one of them turned out good and one bad. But things never really turn out the way it should be. Some clame it was murder, other claims that it was an accident but what it was was that the brother that had gone wrong Ilja was held responsible for his brother Mischas death, no one really knows what happen but it was as it was. Ilja was abandoned by his father and mother. That got Ilja into a world of gambling, crime and other bad things. He had problems with gambling, drinking and with the law. He had a wife and a daughter, Boris mother. In the end, he was killed as well by a man called Milan Joksović over some debts. His wife and daughter was to be taken slaves and the daughter was given to Milan Joksović son as a gift since the father had no choice before but to marry his son with a woman they both hated but it was for the money. Naser Joksović was a smalltime crook and a nobleman, or well he was a nobelman who had gambling and drinking problems, but since he was on a tight leash with a richer nobleman, who was a even bigger badguy, a man called Dragan Sevo they let him be. Also Milan Joksović and Dragan Sevo was partners, they was both noblemen but corrupted and had their own gangs. Naser, Milans son was in charge over the gambling and held in the treads. So Boris mother and grandmother was taken as slaves and was made working in Nasers inn waitresses. It was located in a backally in the rugged areas of Stromgarde and a place where minor mobs, thugs and criminals drank, ate and gambled. The drink was either mead or bourbon and the food was the same stew or soup as they always had. The local guards had the place under surveliance but let the patrons be free in there as long as they was held in there. Boris grandmother did her best to avoid having her daughter get to mutch attention. But it was harder for her as her daughter grew up and the men became more and more intrested in the daughter and less in the mother. In the end, Boris grandmother died and not long thereafter Yelena had to take her part. As for father, Boris had a man called shortly Oleg. He was a thug and worked closely to Naser. He was in short Nasers bodyguard and most loyal servant. Also he was a friend of Naser. Oleg was free to do what he wanted as long as he didnt touch Yelena. Naser wanted her for himself when she was ready. But Oleg was drunk one night and took Yelena with force. When Naser discovered this he had Oleg executed. He would later rape Boris mother him self but didnt like it. Boris was later born and this just made things worser for Yelena. Part 2: The Childhood Boris grew up in a grim and harash enviroment. His mother had little time for him and tried to feed him whenever she could. She keept him out of sight of the patrons and tried her best to hide him away from all eyes. She was given as a debt to another man as who also took Boris in when Boris was around 5 years old. His name was Sergei and not mutch better then Naser. He was also tied to Dragan and was in charge of the loanservices. He didnt rape Yelena, but treated her badly and haressed her. Boris mother did the best she could to raise Boris as a good boy. Keep out of fighting if not for defence and other bad behaviors. He started to work at 6 years old. Yelena would serve in Sergeis household as maid and Boris would serve as a kitchen-boy. When Boris was 10 years old he and his mother was taken by Dragan Sevo. He has several wives but also had lovers and slaves to amuse him. He was one of the really big ones, he had noble birth so he was wealthy but was corrupt and a gangster. Under him he had tied Milan, Naser, Sergei and a number of other smaller gangsters forming his own little gangastersyndicate. When attention was brought to the south during the invasion many times Dragan fought his own war taking out other crimelords and gaining more power and wealth. He would also tie connections with other infulent people. After the event of the first war he would build up a farm with his manor in Hillsbrad. His actions in Stormgarde was creating to mutch attention and he wanted a stronghold for him self. He had it defended by a wooden pallisade, a high ditch and several guardtowers. In there he would also build barracks for his huskarls. He also had a large stock of slaves, some cattle and farmland. His slavery business had become questioned but he went on with that as well. There was of course several slaveboys around but they had to work and work, the whip was never far away from them. They was also encouraged to fight among them selves. Boris never started a fight but had to defend him self several times. He tried to avoid it but it was hard sometimes but he also felt that he was not that bad to defend him self. The times changed and the number of slaves that was allowed decresed. To not gain to mutch attention Dragan had many of the women “sold” or made up work for them as waitresses and other work. As for the stronger boys and young men he wanted to create a militia. These would support his main force, his huskarls in the fights. He held not a very large force, around 40 Huskarls maybe and twice the number of slavemilitia. There was no payment and the life was not mutch changed than they got a little weaponstraning. He could still make some profit out of his femaleslaves and sold many of them. Alot was sold to crimelords in Alterac where slavery was not as forbidden as it was further south. Boris mother was among those who was sold to a man called Anthony Archleaf. He was a crimelord like Dragan and a partner since they worked in diffrent areas. Part 3: The Second war breaks out As the second war broke out Dragan wanted to be victorius in battle and claim more slaves among the horde of which he thought he would easily beat. He took his militia of huskarls and slaves to make a stand. As he saw the horde come closer towards his manor where he made a stand it didnt take him long to understand that they would all be dead, so he left with sons only leaving the rest behind to be slain. He would flee north to Alterac to his partner Anthony. As Boris saw that Dragan fleed he for the first the time felt the anger within him, the warriors rage, that had been the same as his ancestors had felt generations before him. He swore on him self and on the other men that he would avange the man. It was not long after that when the shores was overrunned by orcs. They fought as good as they could but the orcs outnumbered them by far. Just Boris and a fistful of men survived and was taken slaves. The horde saw that the men would be valueable for them as slaves so they was keept alive. They was to be taken as gladiators, or more like creatures for the Horde glaidators to kill. Games arranged by Goblins and Orcs where captured men was taken to arenalike places where they would unarmed and naked be slain by orc gladiators as practice. Luckly for Boris he never got as far as to the arena. He was placed in a cage in one of the encampments made by the orcs. Not soon after the tide has turned and the Horde was punshing back Boris camp was overruned by Alliance footsoldiers and knights who freed the prisoners. Dragan tried but could not claim the slaves that he had abandoned at South Shore so Boris became a freedman. Since there still was the war going on, now in the favor for Alliance Boris and the rest of the men was recruited to the militia. A irregular reservforce for support. The Alliance militia was made up by farmers, craftsmen, miners, lumberjacks, manual labourers of all kind. These men was not trained or drilled as regular forces of footmen. Their role in the battle was a reservtroop and had supportive role. They would stay on the flanks and protect that. They lacked of the finer equipment that the regulararmy had and they had fewer officers. Their strenght where their numbers but they didnt have to take part as mutch as the regular force in the battles. Boris took for a weapon a axe which he griped with both of his hands. The men was given some more weaponstraning and was soon out in the field as a reservforce. The first real battle for the militia would be at Thandol Span and Dun Algaz. Boris who still at young age stod with his unit who was stationed to defend one of the siegeengines, a catapult that was throwing rocks at the horde and saw not mutch fighting to begin with but as the fight went on they was called to the front as replacement troops and saw some fighting. They would also be a part of the rundown of the remaining orcs. As Boris was running after the orcs he felt again the rage and anger inside and slammed his axe in the head of an orc, that was his real killing in attack. He hoped his mother would forgive what he had done and told him self it was for the good. The unit would also be supporting Uther Lightbringer and his paladins at Tyr’s hand breaking down the revolt that had arised there. Again the unit was called in late as replacement and support as the final stages of the battle was at hand. There Boris again would feel the rage within but after the battle he joined the prayers with the paladins for the souls that had died that day. Many of Dragan Sevos Huskarls and slaves like Boris was in the unit and they got a chance to take revange on Dragan and the few loyal men he had left. Which in fact was just his sons, his old partner and the most loyal men. They had been hiding and wanting to build up their part of the Syndicate again. But the gang had been discovered and the men with Boris wanted to do it and was given premission to. The attack was at nighttime and was swift and brute. Dragan was executed along with his sons and Anthony Archleaf. When the time came for the siege of Blackrock Spire the militia would also be there, Many died, Boris got severly and heavyly injured but managed to survive and go on as he continued to fight and fought at the Dark Portal. Part 4: Guardduty after the second war After the war Boris was treated sometime for his wounds and recovered. He then took duty as a guard to guard and watch the endless caravan of hordeprisoners going back up north. It was a long marsch up north again and Boris was stationed first a while in Hammerfall then at Stromgarde Keep. From there he went out on patrol and guardduties mostly north. Most of the time it was about fighting the Syndicate. He would also stay in the militia and became a corpral soon. When not on guardduty he worked at Azureload mine and Hillsbrad fields as a miner and farmhand. He tried to see if there was any signs of his mother but there was none to be found. During the harvest he worked at the fields and during the late spring he worked in the mine, the other times he worked in the militiaguard. The guards would also be involved with the organised games where people would fight in a mixture of boxing and wrestling. Boris felt all the rage he had within and tried to get it out in some way. He became not to bad at the sport since he had a defesive style with heavy blows. Slotas the hammerer, a dwarven blacksmith and a Lieuteant, one Humphrey Brandon became a great inspiration for him and the two men became the closest thing Boris had to a fathersfigure. As for a blacksmith Boris was not so bad but his skills was good in armor but terrible in weapons. Boris served in Lordamere Interment camp when it was overrunned by orcs wanting to free the prisoners. The fight would be bloody and Boris took some damage. He would do no heroic deeds, just was he was supposed to do but fleed and caught with reinforcements. Boris fought in Hammerfall internment camp when that was stormed by Horde fought another siege and overrun. He was captured by the orcs again and held prisoned a short time before freed by Knights of the silverhand. The reason why Boris unit was there was to aid the regular guardforce since they knew an attack was coming. Boris rage would explode again in the fighting but that didnt help and he and the others fleed. Later Boris was also involved in the siege of Durnholde Keep again as apart of the militia. He survived and was shown mercy by the horde. That time he was able to hold back his rage since he understood why Thrall did. He had heard the stories and knew that he would do the same, as he had in fact did when he and the other men killed Dragan. So he layed down his arm along with some other of the men. Yet he knew his fight with the horde was not coming to an end. He would also be involved in the battles of Strahnbrad where he would fight on the victorius side. Boris took a heavy blow in the head but was protected by his helmet in the final stages of the battle. The recovery was short and he was soon able to fight again. The times got harder and harder as the situation in the north was growing larger and larger. Boris keept on as long as he could fighting and working. He and the militia along with the army tried to hold stand against the Scrouge but was driven back time and time again. Part 5: The third war breaks out When the third war broke out Boris and most of the other militiamen was recruited to the regular army. That they could do now when they had served the alliance a long time in the militia. Another reason was that the army needed more men. Boris would fight in the Battle for Darrowshire but once again had to flee to not fall in the hands of the Scrouge. He didnt want to flee but was ordered by his commanders so he and a few else could continue the fight elsewhere. Boris was split from the others for a while but caught up with them later in a camp further south in Arathi Highlands. There would be not mutch else to do then to protect Thoradins wall which held the Scrouge back. The war would not yet be over for Boris and his fellow militiamens. They where footmen now, soldiers in the army since they had battleexperince and that was more important then if they was born free men or not. When Stromgarde keep came under attack by the Syndicate and ogres Boris and the men held stand at the beginning but the enemy was outnumbering them by far and all they could do was flee and let the Syndicate take over the keep which of course was a major loss and something that would lie in Boris mind. Part 6: After the war When news came of that the battle of mount Hyjal Boris feld pleased but knew that the fight in Lorderon would be far from over. But there was no more duty to ask of him so he could be a civil man again. He was a freedman, and a war veteran. He would stay out of inns and mostly out of cities as well. He feared that he would become one of them always drunk depressed war veterans that tried to fill their sorrow with booze. But duty called once more when Lord Garithos, a racist and lunatic called for all men to come and take back Lordaeron itself from the Scrouge. Boris was called as as the soldier he was he signed up for duty. But he was lucky enough to find him self in a support unit among the backlines that was to guard the wagons with support to the front. The fight would be bloody as both Scrouge and the Syndicate attacked the caravans. Most of the attacks came from Syndicate bandits that would ambush them trying to steal the food and other materials that was shipping to the front.

Boris, by this time a Master Sergeant held command over some of the guards as they fought what seemed to be a neverending battle. Soon also the front was beginning to loose ground and men and Boris and the guards also became guards of the wounded men making their way back. He never saw any of the actual frontline fight but when news came about the defeat neither he or anybody was really surprised and they did what they could to make their way back. The forsaken seemed to be happy with having couquered Lordaeron making it their new town and no new attacks would be launched. They could not do more than try to stay out of the way of the forsaken and Scarlet Crusade.

After the defeat he became what he had feared. A old, weared grumpy war veteran that would do nothing more than drink and muttering in his corner. He would get drunk, get into figths, sometimes go to bed with girls for money. The fights would bring him the money that he spent on company for the night and more alcoholic drinks.

This would be his darkest moment and a time he would not want to remember. He was found one day on the road, naked after loosing everything on games, smelling and looking like some kind of rotten creature. It was in that state where Sir Adarnwulf van Rochbannan found him.

Adarnwulf had been fighting with the orginal Knights of the Silverhand. Before that he had also been a priest as well as knight so he would have been perfect. After that he would fight with the Scarlet Crusade but brooke out when they turned corrupt. He would also fight a while for the Argent Dawn. He had not been where Boris was now because of his undying fate in the Light. Since Boris was wearing both the honortattoo of the Lorderon and the Alliance he recognised him as a soldier. He decided that he also wanted to cure the man. Boris could not be turned into a paladin since he didnt feel the light in him, but he could be a good and proud warrior of the Alliance as he had once been.

Boris would make little or no resistance as Adarnwulf took him to his camp and started to treat him there. He was taken by boat from Southshore to Menethil Harbour and from there the journey would go to the dwarven lands and then even further south to Elwynn forest.

In Northshire Abbey he would be fully healed and started to train again as a warrior. The traning would take some time before it was decided that he was ready to go out on the roads again. He would also work as a scout and guard for the Stormwind guards that patrolled Elwynn. After having quelled some matters in Elwynn consering Defias, gnolls and other matters he would travel to Westfall. Boris was transfered to the peoples militia. There he would aid them by taking out several Defias, but at the time he would not venture into the deadmines. He would also travel to the dwarven lands and aiding the dwarves in Loch Modan. He returned to Lakeshire where he would rescue with some help a missing guard, killing some orcs and other creatures. After his adventures in Lakeshire he traveled to Duskwood to aid the Nightwatch hitting on the Defias there.
He would be sent out as a scout and soldier to deal with various matters consering diffrent criminal organisations around the world. Since the military was gone fighting at the battlefields soldiers was needed to go after the criminal organisations that was infesting the lands.
His travels soon took him back up north and he would face among other the Syndicate again. He would invade Stromgarde Keep as well as some other places around. Boris would also fight the Defias rising in the Stockades. His ventures would take him also south to Strangletorn Vale fighting Curzen and his gang, several beasts and the Bloodsail Buccaneers. It was not long after that he would come over his first horse, a black stallion which he bought in Menethil Harbour. The roads took him from there to Tanaris where he would fight Pirates. But of some reason he got tired of the fighting and decided to lay down his arms and to become a peaceful man instead. So he did that and worked for a long time at Eastvale Logging camp. He worked there a long while before realising that he was meant to be a warrior and took up his arms yet again to fight the Scoruge in the Plaguelands. He would also fight the orcs in burning stepps and also tried to invade Stratholme a few times with some fellow adventurers. Boris would also join Alterac Valley and Arathi Basin. He was able to join the many volunteers that signed up for the battle and did his duty. As for his long time services Boris was rewared a set of armor that was later remade and upgraded. He was also allowed to wear the knights colors in honor of his deeds.

He would be joining the Quartermaster armoury battalion, a support battalion whos task was to make and ship away armour and weapons to the front. Boris would gain the rank of Sergeant Major and become one of the heads in the armour department. Here he would also meet Slotas again who also had found his way here. Also a halforc called Raghat who was a good armoursmith as well. The men would work hard and together to make sure that the Alliance had what they needed. A high elf would also soon join their little gang, his name was Daerwen. Boris realised that he has found a family. Not maybe the ideal family but still a family. He was allowed to drink but never again would he go back to the life he had lived not long ago. Part 7: The rising In addition to the work as a soldier he took up blacksmithing again as a armorsmith wanting to learn more and more of that. Boris has risen from a slave to a militiaman and finally a soldier of the Alliance. He has seen what the horde can do but wants to belive in peace but struggles with his wanting to fight and wanting to just live in peace. The endless battles of Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch is something that he comes back to time and time again. The Dwarves of Stormpike and the League of Arathor holds him high and has both honored him with a tabard. The Silverwing Sentinels are alittle more unsure but has found that he is a pretty good one in the field. The Bloodsail pirates has him hated, which means his relations with Blackwater raiders and the Steemwheedle Cartel is pretty good. His also honored among Argent Dawn for his deeds to fight the Scrouge in the plaguelands. Boris has hard to understand the Scarlet Crusade but as long as they dont attack him he would not attack them. He is honored among the humans, the dwarves of Ironforge and gnomes and the night elves in Darnassus. He has started also to get some reputation in the mithril order and Thorium brotherhood due to his work for them as a blacksmith. The art of armorsmith is something that he holds high and has become good in. He knows a large amount of armor to make. Yet he has not fully mastered it but he can call him self a master. He is also a master when it comes to mining. His many wounds and being injured has made him quite a medic also for first aid. He is skilled as a cook and knows some about fishing. He has also traveled and adventured in Outlands where he now is high among the Kurenai, Honor hold, Cenarion Expedition, the Aldor of Shattrath and Consortium. Since his reputation with Aldor is high the Scryers has a bad eye on him. Boris has also in his fighting the horde recived serveral ridinganimals. Stormwind has honored him with a black stallion, Ironforge with a black ram and Darnassus has also honored him with a black tiger. Also has the Stormpike guards honored him with a battlecharger and the Kurenai with a Talbuk. He prefers to wear his armor on all time and his battleaxe. But it weights alot and he feels the weight on his shoulders but he feels naked without the armor so he dont like to take it off. When he does he takes it off for softer clothes or leather now and then when he needs it. But its always trousers and a tunic, no robes for him. Boris dont turn to drinking for his sorrows. Since he is a working man and has always been he goes to work to deal with his pain. There are always men needed at Eastvale Logging camp or other simular places. He dont know the fate of his mother and that haunts him from time to time. He would like to know what happend to her but her fate seems to clouded to him even if he search in her trails. He has grown old in age but not sure how old he is. Numbers means nothing to him since he cant understand them really. The Second and third war are events to him as names, not numbers. He has also heard of the first war but remembers nothing of it. Since he grew up alot in hostile dark inns he is not really feeling comfortable in those enviroments. Where Boris finds places where he can feel comfortable is the deep large forests. He very mutch likes Feralas and Felwood in Kalimdor as well as Winterspring. The high mountains and wintering terrain makes him feel good. Ashenvale he can like but not as mutch as the other forrests. But of course the northen part of Eastern Kingdom Arathi Highlands, Alterac Mountains, Hillsbrad and Hinterlands are places where he feels most at home or close to home. The woods in the south he feels are abit to shallow. The snowy mountains of Khaz Modan is also a place to feel safe in. Part 8: Friends and foes The Night elves and Dranaei he finds very strange as members of the Alliance. He dont understand them and has not fight with them as he has with dwarves and gnomes. As for classes he trust warriors most because they are like his brothers and sisters. The same goes for the paladins even if he will never know the full deep of them. Since he not a really follower of the light the priests has never had a large influence on him. He is not sure about the rogues since he has seen what the outlawbands can do but he tries his best to trust them. Mages he will not even try to understand, nor the warlocks but he knows they are haunted with demons and he feels sorry for them, mutch since he feels his own beast within. As for hunters, he think they are allright but as with many others he would not fully understand them. The same goes for druids and shamans he has just beginning to encounter. What he does know is if the Alliance shall hold they must stand together so he tries to be open and friendly to those that he meets. The orcs Boris would like to see with peaceful eyes, yet its hard since he has bad relationship with the Frostwolfs, the Warsong and the Blackrock clan. He also find the Dragonmaw clan in outlands hostile. This makes his trust for orcs in general to be not good even thou he would like peace with them he is unsure if that will ever happen. It dont help that the forsaken has broken out from the Scrouge, to him they are mutch the same and the Defilers in Arathi who keeps fighting with the Arathor makes the situation worse. The trolls he sees as wild, vile and vicious so they go as enemy as well. The Taurens live in a world he will never understand, and he has faced them in battle but he want to hope at least. When it comes to the blood elves he has gotten so mutch that they are some part of the High elves which he fought with in the second war. But since they joined the horde they are his enemy. But Boris main enemies would be the orcs and various human criminal organisations. He is also of course an enemy of the Scrouge and with that comes the forsaken. Boris might have a sister he dont know about. He once meet a paladin who might have been his sister, but if that was so or not was never really stated and the paladin left without a word not to be seen again. Boris father, Oleg had no family either to talk about and if there where they would be dead by now. Many of Boris friends from the days of the wars has either died or have fallen down in the being all drunk or just wasted. Either that or they are in the army still.
