Many strange and mysterious things
live in the Alterac Mountains. Some say
they have seen ogres, ghouls and ghosts there. Among the stories and
tales there is an account of an orcish
shaman living in these Mountains. This
Shaman has been given the name 'The
Mercenary of the Mountains'. Few know
him by his given name, Gerak.
Gerak was born in the Alterac Mountains and calls them home. Since his
childhood more and more dangerous folk have been taking up residence in
the lands of Alterac. Gerak lost his parents when he was only 8 years old,
after his parents fell to band of ogres. Gerak was left on his own raised only
by his wits and by the land itself.
His parents were once slaves to the people inhabiting Alterac. Gerak has
uncovered many old documents and relics from among the ruins. In His
search to find more information about this once great kingdom, he came
across the family name Perenolde many times as the former rulers of the
land.
Being a shaman and a keeper of the land, Gerak spends most of his time
patrolling the mountain sides in the form of a ghost wolf. But sometimes
being in the form of a wolf draws some unexpected attention. One such
time, Gerak, was spotted and pursued by an undead hunter. Many times
Gerak tried to evade this persistent undead, but after many hours of this
game of cat and mouse Gerak was cornered. This hunter was none other
than Eric Bonesworth, whose skills in hunting and taming of wild beasts
led him to try and tame Gerak. It was only the chance arrival of a Dalaran
mage and the ensuing scuffle between him and Bonesworth that allowed
Gerak to escape.
Being a shaman, every season Gerak would make the long voyage to Orgrimmar to learn more about the Shaman ways. To Gerak's utter shock, mere weeks after escaping Eric Bonesworth the shaman would see the hunter milling about in Orgrimmar. The Shaman walked up in his ghost wolf form before transforming back into his orcish appearance. Bonesworth,
recognizing his mistake, joined Gerak in hearty laughter at the incident.
From there they became fast friends with Bonesworth having much
information to share about the Perenolde family.
Kalimdor would bring him even closer to House Perenolde. One day Gerak
crossed paths with a human named Kalimas Perenolde, she was a member
of the royal Perenolde Family. Gerak was interested in learning more about
the fallen kingdom and its lore and eagerly joined her cause as a mercenary
in the noble pursuit of bringing order to the land that had been besieged with savage tribes and outlaws but also to find out more of his own heritage
in the land.
