History: In life, Atticuss Grace was an assassin working for Stormwind's covert military branch, SI:7. Under the influence of a performance-enhancing hallucinogen, he took part in the "cleansing" of Tirisifal. In other words, he was part of a small group of people sent to kill innocents to prevent the spread of the plague of undeath. During the cleansing, Atticuss experienced a change in perspective and went rogue - turning his blades against the other assasins rather than killing more potential carriers. Word spread of his betrayal and Mathias Shaw, the leader of SI:7, quickly gave orders to hunt down and kill Atticuss.
During all of this, Atticuss contracted the plague and grew sick. The progression of the disease, however, was slowed by the drug in his system. The drug itself is based in the larval acid of carrion worms, the only lifeform in the plaguelands that remains unchanged by the spread of the disease.
Eventually, Atticuss was captured by his three main pursuers: Phineaus, Finch, and Poe. Rather than quickly killing him, the three tied him between a pair of trees and tortured him for several days. The cruelty of this torture is made obvious when one sees his face. However, most people never see his face since he almost always hides it behind a mask.
There was no clear moment of death for Atticuss. The slow progression of the disease and his struggle for consciousness through the torture leaves him only with the memory that at some point, he stopped feeling the pain. At this point, however, he took on all appearances of death, so Phineaus Finch and Poe left him.
There is a gap in his memory here, with only transient Images of fire and blood. Hordes of scourge. A dim awareness that he was not in control of himself.
Over time, Atticuss fought his way back to clarity and control. He met his queen, Sylvanas, and vowed to her that he wouldn't rest until the Alliance was exterminated.
Since then, Atticuss has been fighting tooth and nail against the Alliance, with special emphasis against the humans of Stormwind. Above all, he seeks revenge against his three torturers.
It was on this path of vengeance that Atticuss met Drinn. Months later, they were married.
