Spatra grew up in Dalaran, back in the early stages of the war. He became custom to the evils of the world at an early stage and saw friends and family die as the horde raided his village on a regular basis. There was no big alliance army around that could help them that close to the border, since all were stationed in the big cities across the land at the time, so all that they could do was to hide in the shadows and hope for the best. Every day they could feel the war coming closer as the tension grew all across the border. Then the day came when they saw a big cloud of dust from a marching horde army in the distance.

All nearby villages took to the hills and up in the shadows of the nearby mountains. Spatras mother and father left him in the shadows of a small cave in the hills and went back ot help others to safety. From the safty of the cave he could do nothing but watch as the big army attacked Dalaran and burned it to the ground. Now the alliance king of Altrac called his army out to fight and a courier was sent to Stormwind; but it was too late. That night the people of Dalaran was annihilated.

The few that had survived the overpowering attack of the horde remained hidden for several days until they could hear no more hordes looting the villages below. After a few nights Spatra went down with a friend to look for his parents. He found their bodies laying outside the village inn, his father protecting his mothers? body with his. In a deep sorrow he turned to his friend and both of them and vengeance in their eyes but they were both young. Spatra decided to follow in his fathers? footstep and become a priest and while his friend stayed with his family Spatra waved farewell to the village and headed for Elwynn Forest; a safe place to start his training as a priest.

Even though his father was a priest Spatra was too young to understand religion and his heart was filled with the shadows of the mountains. Along the way he met a lot of people that shared his anger over the horde and he started to nurture a hatred towards those that had caused him so much pain. When he arrived at Elwynn he trained hard and did not rest, his growing hatred giving him strength to go on for days at a time.

During this time of training he met Humanlord and they became close friends during training. As the years passed he met others who understood him and helped him find a way to channel his anger and hatred. Perhaps more than any other the young mage Anomalia helped him when she helped him realize that no matter how much his hatred grew he could not fight the hordes alone. Now for the first time in a very long time Spatra felt he had a family again, but now in the form of a guild.

Spatra continued his training and with the help of his newfound friends in the guild of The Night Council he quickly grew stronger than he ever imagined. He was promoted to Priest Councilor, something that filled his heart with pride and renewed his hope that someday he would be able to avenge those that died as the horde marched through Dalaran.

Next time he will not hide in the shadows; next time Spatra the shadow priest will fight!
