Dossier: Vargore the Dread Pirate

Name: Vargore
Aliases: No known aliases.
Nationality: Afflicted Gilnean
Eyes:  Red
Worgen Description:  As large as a small ogre, standing about ten feet tall.  Black fur.  Known to wear silver plate armor and "jaunty" hats.  Often carries a pipe.
Human Description:  No known sightings of his human form.  Never received the Greymane treatment?

Personality:
  • He may look like a brute, and act like a brute, but he listens, bides his time, and takes precautions with a cunning that belies his appearance.  Do not underestimate him.
  • Has an eye for the ladies, especially those with firm hourglass shapes.
  • Heavy drinker, especially Blackheart Grog.  Often seen in many Stormwind taverns, with no detectable pattern.
  • Owns an enchanted lantern.
  • Has a huge orcish magical weapon called "Hullcleaver", used to great effect on ships' hulls.


Ship: The Ravenheart, flys a flag of a raven skull and crossed cutlass. three-gun deck third-class ship of the line.  Approximately 100 cannons, 400 crew.

Legal Status:  Letter of Marque declaring him "Royal Standard Privateer under the High Crown of Stormwind", and hence holds a courtesy standing in the Alliance naval forces.  Signed by Commander Percy Aldenhardt and Lady of the Treasury Ehrynne, cosigned by Varian, Greymane, and Anduin, amongst others.

Notes from SI:7 files:

  • A long list of alleged crimes in Stormwind, no convictions before his full pardon during the Cataclysm. Often charged, but no convictions.
  • Pardon given in exchange for him becoming a privateer of the Stormwind Crown.
  • A long history of sinking Alliance and Horde ships.  Wanted by two of the three Goblin Cartels.
  • Opportunist, and will stab anyone in the back for gain if they drop their guard.
  • Beyond the perpetual suspicion that he's always up to some low-level swindle or rime, he is fairly diligent about passing on useful intelligence from his Horde victims.


Notes from the Kirin Tor: 
  • He appears to be a worgen of unusual size, about ten feet tall.  He has never been seen in his human form.
  • As extensive relationships with non-Kirin Tor mages.  Does he avoid the Kirin Tor deliberately?


Notes from the Argent Crusade interviews: 

  • Almost no information, or dealings with them.


Stormwind Constabulary:


  • First appeared about the time as the rest of the Gilnean refugees came into the Alliance.
  • Investigations into many of the charges were either insubstantial or circumstantial. Payoff, guile, or often wrongly accused?
  • Carries tons of weapons, but prefers his claws.  Most of his walking armory is kept in his cloak - cloak may be enchanted to hold it all.
  • Subject appears to be a walking magical "dead zone" for the purposes of location and scrying.  The Kirin Tor is unaware of this.
  • Part of the Brashtide Crew pirates for a time.
  • Supremely self-interested - does nothing except for personal gain.
