Orc Unholy Death Knight

Rider of the Apocalypse

Born amid the red sands of Draenor, Zupov Bloodmist was a proud warrior of the Bleeding Hollow Clan. His village, nestled beneath the shadow of the jagged cliffs, was a bastion of primal strength and unbreakable bonds. Zupov lived by the sword, bound by honor and tradition. Yet fate would twist his legacy into something darker.

When Teron'khan, known as Teron'khan Gorefiend, rose as the first Orc Death Knight, his hunger for domination led to the razing of Zupov's homeland. The warlock’s dark magic unleashed a tide of death upon the village. Zupov fell defending his kin, his axe cleaving through shadowy horrors until his last breath. But death was not the end.

In the cruel irony of the Fel-tainted world, Teron Gorefiend himself re-raised Zupov, binding his shattered soul to the service of undeath. Now a Death Knight, Zupov Bloodmist is a harbinger of doom, wielding frost and shadow as easily as he once wielded steel. Yet fragments of his past still haunt him. The whispers of the ancestors, the cries of his people, and the memory of a life lived with honor fuel a simmering rage against the forces that corrupted his kind.

Driven by a burning need for vengeance, Zupov stalks the frozen halls of Acherus, an eternal servant of death with a fractured heart that still beats for the home and honor that were stolen from him.
