Efluvious the Ghoul
By Grommash son of Dar'ash
Part One: Life and Death
From what I can determine, Efluvious is a very old corpse, or possibly multiple corpses. His most prominent parts would place him as having died during the second war when the Horde attempted to attack Stromgarde from the then Horde occupied Khaz Modan. He was in life a charismatic young human warrior named Theo beginning his training as a knight and a hopeful applicant to become a paladin of the light. His death cut his dreams short, but he had taken the principles of honor and justice to become a part of him; inseparable.
His corpse was raised by the scourge and was used at the assault on Dalaran in the early days by Arthas where he again died to the magiks of the wizards there. His stubborn nature alone brought him back this time; he refused to let go and this compulsion has only gained in each death he has suffered, which I should add is now many times many. Some parts of him, including part of his head, are not this young warrior however.
He had no will of his own in these days, but his instincts and his nature stayed with him. After the third war when the Lich King began to lose control over the Scourge, Efluvious finally awoke. His numerous deaths and wounds had addled his brain but the undeath had regenerated his body and even strengthened it somewhat.
His mind was not improved by the meeting of another recently awakened forsaken. Efluvia found Efluvious gnawing on on a bone in an uncovered grave and enslaved him. She took him to her lair in the Badlands where he did anything she bid and whenever he resisted she flayed his mind, further damaging his brain. From what I have gathered, Efluvia further mutilated not only his mind, but his body as well, and he seems to have some underlying personality conflicts.
Despite his enslavement and abuse at the hands of Efluvia, Efluvious remembers these days fondly. He had an imaginary friend he would converse with named 'Theodor'. I suspect he had the name in his head, as it used to be his own, but he could not associate it with himself. Theodor was a skeleton that Efluvia kept in her lair laid out for her to study.
One day Efluvia left and didn't return for several days. Efluvious' stubborn yet innocent nature manifested itself once again and he left to find something he couldn't remember, but knew he wanted. A real friend.
