Appearance

Standing at 6'4'', Fray Farrens has the build of a battle-hardened warrior, scars marking his body even beneath his armor. Though balding, he still has a healthy amount of hair, and it reaches in its grey-brown glory to around his shoulders. His expression is often stern or intense, making it seem like the man is constantly judging people, but whether this is actually true remains to be seen.

Personality

Currently reclusive, after many long years tracking his missing wife across Azeroth. Fray also seems to tend towards the dramatic, which explains a lot about his sons.

History

Important Dates:

• Year 3, the Fall of Stormwind: Fray Farrens was injured in combat against the orcs, presumed dead. After recovering from his injuries, Fray heads to Lordaeron in search of his family. He does not take a boat.

• Year 7: Fray Farrens finally arrives in Lordaeron and begins his search. While there, he seeks out his wife's sister, Matrielle Copperton and her family, only to find that they have abandoned their home in Brill. After hearing rumors that Matrielle's daughter, Valendra, was left behind and deemed cursed, Fray pays a visit to the house, but finds no one. He leaves.

• After checking in with an old friend who made it safely to Lordaeron, Fray confirms that his family never made it to safety, so he makes his way back to the southern kingdom to find out what happened. On his way there, he hears many tales of a woman resembling Solari Farrens wandering about. He decides to chase the rumors.

(Static noises. More details coming later!)

• Year 19: Fray Farrens finally catches up with his wife, and they are together for a little while, until cultists of the Twilight's Hammer arrive. Solari marks Fray with void magic, and pushes him off a cliff. He's fine. Now he can detect her wherever she goes, so he continues to chase after her.
