Full Name: Valindria. Her surname was once thought to be Pureblaze, but this remains unverified and there are few alive now who recall it.

Titles or Nicknames: Val to most, Lin to one or two. Once known as the Wandering Saiin, she is now titled the Tempest after joining the Grim. Many other titles earned in various circumstances, all less important than these.

Age: She appears to be ageless, presumed to be a side effect of her lifelong service to the Light

Race: Sin'dorei

Gender: Female

Hair: Flaxen

Eyes: Green, like all sin'dorei

Height: Average, about 5'10"

Weight: Slender, about 130lbs

Notable Physical Features: Sin'dorei are often deemed to be "lovely" or similar. Val is perhaps "classically beautiful" in comparison (whatever that means)

Place of residence: Unknown

Place of Birth: presumed to be Silvermoon City

Known Relatives: Only a few of her fellow priests know of any relatives, as well as Champion Bachi of the paladin order

Religion/Philosophy: "Do no harm, but take no shit."

Occupation: Priestess, situational mentor

Guild Rank: quartermaster, formally Keeper of the Vault

Known Associates: Knight-Captain Mizue Valentine, Knight-Medic Niha Valentine (presumed deceased), Aradaen Mistfire, Khorvis Bloodstar, Anaie. She has no known paramours.

Known Nemesis: She has no known nemesis. Perhaps she crushed them all.

Special Skills: She is able to soothe the strong emotions of others, including anger, fear, pain and even joy. It's a subtle aura and the inattentive would probably miss it. Predominately used to aid in healing, but can be applied to other situations as needed - it's thought to be a highly specialized usage of the Light. Other skills such as storing someone's soul and searing away fel corruption have been witnessed by others, who don't speak of it.

Positive Personality Traits: Calm, dry humor, reliable, (often) compassionate, (arguably) wise. Keeps her own counsel.

"Negative" Personality Traits: Seems distant from others to the point of being thought of as aloof or apathetic. Ambivalent to the Alliance outside Grim interactions with them. Has no patience for willful stupidity (which has a broad definition) or infighting. Rarely speaks to non-Grim.

History Before The Grim: Not many recall her before the Argent Tourney. She was believed to be mute then, healing the wounded and then simply departing, which led to her being known only as the Wandering Saiin. Contacted by Anaie some time after meeting her in Icecrown, Val joined the Grim on request.

History In The Grim: She was the first Executioner and is proven in combat against both Alliance and non-Alliance opponents. Despite her dedication to the Mandate, she does not engage with many other Grim, though this isn't meant as an insult.[/color]

[Khorvis]

Khorvis thumbed (fatly) through the files recording the various Grim that currently drew breath. The concerning amount of fel-corruption plaguing the Horde of late had led the High Inquisitor to begin studying the pasts of those closest to the Mandate, and ascertain their reliability. He stopped at the short page detailing the Tempest and mused aloud.

"I do have no recollection of this one ever raising her voice, either in joy or in fear. Always calm, but cold. Steady in the Mandate, though the cacti of Tanaris could learn a bloody thing or two about prickliness from this elf. Best not to brush against her thorny side and instead take refuge in her shade, for she does live in the glow of her ancestor Light."

He paused for a moment, recalling Valindria's ministrations of Kiannis and the toll it took upon her health. "Perhaps she do be cold only for the warmth of her own that she spends on our wounded." Satisfied with his assessment, Khorvis made with pen a small rune in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

The orc continued his shuffle through the Roster.
