History Before The Grim:
Kyou's history known to himself is very limited. However magic can reveal horrifying repressed memories in spats. Kyoukimaru has been insane for a long period of time, believed to be prior to the parting of the Pandaren Mists. He was apparently found and nursed to health by a Pandaren native by the name of Dr Tou Raito. Kyou's emotional state was noted and believed to be the work of a Sha, however no exorcism nor spells could reveal or suppress it. He was pushed to train with the Shado Pan, where he took on lessons in fighting from the shadows, thusly using the violent outbursts he frequented for a purpose of protecting his brothers in arms. At first he showed progress, signs of his condition improving. But it was a feign. While he was believed to be recovering from horrible trauma and the near full sha possession, in truth he was finding reason to believe those around him could not see what his "special eyes" could see. It wasn't however until the alliance and horde washed up on shore that these trait began to show. Kyou mentioned seeing the alliance soldiers are tin men or machines briefly, but upon being arrested by one, his mind bent itself on the idea of fighting for his own sort of "peace". The machines, as he called them, were abominations of life. They were a force seeking to dominate and enslave the world, a monstrous hidden race of machines! Spawned from the mistakes of the creators themselves! The machines were so clever and complicated they looked to take on perfect human flesh.. But with his "Special Eyes" Kyou could see through this charade. With multiple people dead however, Kyou found himself receiving banishment from the lands of Pandaria. However, as if taking responsibility, Dr Raito followed him.

The two made a brief living cooking and selling alcohol and baked goods for trade, avoiding combat as neutralists and very skilled bakers. Around the doctor, Kyou was able to stand the presence of the alliance machines. But this all broke down when they were summoned to complete an order in the castle Stormwind. Kyou there encountered his brother, who'd been working as an alliance supporting engineer. While his brother recognized Megas Manngear, Kyou had no recollection of this, only a hole in his past as to what that name meant to him. This lead to the worst fit Kyou ever had to this very day. he lost his mind entirely, burst into fel flames, as he saw his brother a goblin being converted into a living machine. The humans were not only trying to dominate Azeroth... but remake it in their own image... Something had to be done.. That is where Kyou murdered his own true blood relative, Protos Manngear, and entered the halls of King Wrynn riddled with felfire and wielding three recently acquired butcher's cleavers (one in his teeth, and despite the odds was the only weapon that landed a true hit on Wrynn by sheer unpredictability alone)

Kyoukimaru is now wanted for adding another scar to Wrynn's very flesh (He was outmatched, however did not falter at all to fight the king of stormwind alone), the murder of hundreds of guards, civilians, children, gryphons, etc, the kidnapping of one prized overgrown chicken, and the burning down of a bakery (killing the occupants) whilst managing to temporarily frame a nearby cheese vendor with the crime (by the time the evidence was proven faulty, forged, and malicious, the vendor was already hanged for the crime), and lastly the usage of blood collected from the previous murders to deface various walls and monuments by painting offensive language, demonic language, or various human genitalia upon said monuments.

History In The Grim:
After his fits withing Stormwind, Kyoukimaru was to be honored for sneaking in and attempting to assassinate Wrynn alone. However a single conversation with Garrosh Hellscream would have Kyoukimaru locked away. He was thrown to the elemental hounds beneath Orgrimmar and left for dead. While he held out against many orcs, General Nazgrim, who recognized the goblin somehow, defeated the goblin and left him as ordered to be executed by firing squad with the rest of the recently discharged Gob Squad.

This moment was where The Grim were said to have been laying seige to Orgrimmar. One member apparently made the wonderful mistake of freeing a hand, and handing this goblin a knife. Kyou then ran through the other side of Orgrimmar liberating the blockades, freeing slaves, murdering alliance captives, and carried his bloodfrenzy north. His mind was completely blank, he was bathed in unholy green flames, and with his recently re-aquired butcher knives he woke up naked in a Moonspring tainted with night elf blood about three days later.

After a short but heavily eventful trip to Pandaria, Kyou found himself returning to the front lines searching for the individuals that aided his escape. He was pleasantly surprised to find his knack for murdering these horrible machines as a positive skill to The Grim and eagerly looked into joining their ranks.

[[ Haha, 'tin-men'. I laughed, good stuff. Yea, we'll find many opportunities for Kyoukimaru to disassemble those machines ... ]]
