History Before The Grim:
A lost and forgotten expedition from Silvermoon resulted in a pairing that produced Tecmessa. She does not know, but assumes that Lore'themar had some purpose in sending settlers to Quel'Lithien Lodge. Whether Renthar Hawkspear took this as a threat and eliminated them or they befell some other end, Tecmessa may never know. Lost as a babe in the Eastern Plagelands, a dwarvish trader rescued her from the elements and delivered her to the Argent Dawn of Light's Hope Chapel. There she lived for a short time, before a Forsaken claimed her and took her to the Undercity.
The Forsaken had little love to give, but did keep a cache of orphans whom they fed and educated. She spent her formative years studying the Forsaken art of alchemy. A confused angst deep in her soul needed release; for this she turned to hammering iron. Many hours of peon work earned her the opportunity to learn the more advanced tecniques.
The Dark Portal opened, and the world changed. Silvermoon and the Undercity became close allies, and the hostage-orphans returned home. The elves had founded a new order of Blood Knights, masters of the Light, and chose Tecmessa to train in their ranks. Though adept and quick to learn, Tecmessa had neither the political ties nor the temperment to advance in rank, so she ventured forth into Azeroth as an errant of her order.
Tecmessa grew much during her time in the world, and came to understand the importance of defending her people's home, and the need to depend on the Horde. She served obediently under Thrall, fighting at every opportunity to banish the Legion, the Scourge, and of course the Alliance from the lands of Azeroth. The ugly politics of Thrall's departure and Cairne's assasination left Tecmessa questioning her loyalty to the Horde. The time had come to cast politics aside and join a group with unwaivering determination to bring peace to the world. Peace, through annihilation! She judged carefully and conserderably, and finally decided to submit her name to the Grim.
History In The Grim: Tecmessa has largely kept to herself since joining the Grim, still somewhat seeking her voice. She has participated in a raid against Ironforge, defending the Tol Barad Peninsula, and fought with both the Siegebreakers and the Pillagers. Though she knew much of battle tactics, fighting at a higher level resulted in some educational failures.
