The Dark Elf Velykxak and the assassins of the Shadow Riders guild Much of Velykxak’s history is lost to the outside world because all who know of it have mysteriously died. But there are some bits and pieces known to the common Dark Elf. When Velykxak was a young boy, he was taken on a slave raid . As they were there they came upon a small village in the midst of the mountains. As the Dark Elves crept towards their target, a group of wood elves discovered them. Although the wood elves were greatly outnumbered they fought valiantly. Velykxak was amazed with their sheer determination and skill.
A few years later he set off from his homeland in search of a path to follow. One day in his travels, he came upon a Wood Elf trying to fight off a greenskin charge. Velykxak drew his scimitar and repeater crossbow and charged in. After a fierce battle, the Wood Elf and Velykxak pushed the horde back. This Wood Elf pledged his life and the life of his companions to Velykxak for what he had done. As this small warband traveled the land, there numbers grew. Soon, they were known around the world as mercenaries for hire.Regiment:Captain: Velykxak
