((I’m gonna keep this brief cause the more detailed versions I tried to write were awful and just too long winded)) Most of Silence’s early life is a bit of a blur (like pretty much the rest of it), with brief flashes of him playing or training for becoming a shock trooper with his brother in the capital of Lordaeron. Those carefree memories are precious few and provide Silence with little more than speculation and daydream these days. As soon as he was able to do so he took to the field of battle with his clansmen and women, never taking a step back. He remembers battling with trolls and orcs at one point but he’d be damned if he could make out any of the details of his opponents... Of course there are things one never forgets about battle... the exhilarating rush of combat, the joy of being able to test your hard earned skills against a combatant who is your equal, or being able to raor out in victory after having defeated impossible odds bagpipes droning away behind you. Alas when the scourge and burning legion came into the field most of his battle brothers and sisters met their ends at the hands of the undead, himself included... Feadon in particular was killed by a deathknight by the name of Ailnam.
4 years after the end of the Third War Feadon arose again as a forsaken, his lower jaw missing and completely unable to speak... almost immediately he set about trying to find his family again (their residence now just outside Stormwind), suffice to say it was not the best of moves he could have made. He was almost killed by people he had once referred to as relatives and left for dead in the Elwyn to rot, at this point Feadon truly died... Leaving behind only Silence, who now had one rage fuelled goal, to kill the person who put him in his sorry state.
He spent four long and tortuous years amongst his ‘fellows’ in Undercity, trying to learn of the whereabouts Ailnam and focussing on honing his skills as a warrior. Eventually he found the knight in the plaguelands, on some errand for the Lichking. It was the Deathknight’s last errand... Though not thanks to skill or dumb luck, as Silence had originally presumed. No the reason he finally managed to finally destroy Ailnam was due to the Knights own rune blade, Elijah. The blade, through various enchanting mishaps, had managed to gain intelligence vastly superior to its more ‘feral’ brethren; even capable of direct speech should it be inclined to talk. Ailnam had foolishly been thinking about trying to correct his enchanting mistakes and revert Elijah back to the more primitive cunning that a runeblade should posses (as his masters suggested), also to free up some space for other enchantments. Naturally Elijah was not agreeable to this course of action, so when Silence came along Elijah saw the perfect opportunity to escape the clutches of those who sought to effectively kill him. Using its willpower the blade overwhelmed his master, giving silence that tiny window he needed to mortally wound his opponent... After which Elijah demanded to be taken with Silence, seeing as he allowed the undead to slay his master. Silence, unable to think of anything better to do decided to take Elijah with him.
Now he roams across the lands of the horde taking work as a hired sword, trying to overcome the grudges he has for the other members of the faction he finds himself stuck with.
