User:Spenpiano/Beve Perenolde

Beve Perenolde is the oldest child of Aiden Perenolde and his deceased wife, Isolde. She is valuable to the Syndicate as the most powerful of the few mages within the ranks. She is in her forties, of average size with blonde hair and serious brown eyes. She commonly wears mage's robes.

Lands of Conflict
Beve was sent to Lordaeron City to study magic as a young woman, but left the school voluntarily to join her family in exile, lending her magical skills to their cause.

She is fiercely devoted to her family, but disagrees with her father on many issues. She knows she is in line to inherit the holdings when he dies, and she fully expects the leadership of the Syndicate to be her birthright as well. She thinks her leadership will be so beneficial that the Syndicate and her brothers and sisters will not miss Lord Perenolde for long. Her father is constantly surrounded by several bodyguards, so it is unlikely she could attempt an assassination. This does not stop her from continuing her magical studies and looking for an opening in his defenses. She believes he is blind to her machinations, but he is well aware of her desires.

Betraying the Alliance
During the time of the Second War, Beve and her family, along with those that supported them, had betrayed the Alliance by aiding the Orcish Horde. As a result, she would witness the kingdom of Strongarde been placed the kingdom under martial law, where it fell into a state of anarchy, and eventually collapsed.

Tides of Vengeance
During the Fourth War, Beve Perenolde and her children were in command of many hundreds of Alteraci Humans that chose to remain in the region, hiding in the ruined squalor of Alterac City from those who would seek to bring them to justice. When Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner sent a champion to lead a batch of the mightest Horde builders to rebuild the city and transform it into a fortress in the name of the Banshee Queen, Beve and her loyalists once again pit themselves with the Horde for survival, and an opportunity to strike back at those that crumbled their old nation. Since she and her loyalists held a deep hatred for the Alliance and have never forgotten the brutality they faced, Beve met with Sylvanas Windrunner in Orgrimmar, offering her service to the Horde, to which the Banshee Queen accepted.

After joining the Horde, Beve oversaw the reconstruction of Alterac City and hoped that all the lands of Hillsbrad Foothills will be retaken for her people that lost everything after they betrayed the Alliance. She later traveled to the isle of Zandalar with the other leaders of the Horde in attending Talanji's coronation. Beve believes that the Alliance are nothing but savage hunters since she and her people were being hunted down for betraying the Alliance during the Second War. She promises that she and her people will never be cowards again and will eliminate the Alliance in order for peace to be brought back to the lands they want back and restored.

When Baine was arrested and Zelling was killed for their parts in freeing Derek Proudmoore from Horde captivity, Beve believed that Baine carried so much sympathy towards the Alliance and believed him to be nothing but a coward for deceiving and betraying Sylvanas Windrunner.

Rise of Azshara
Beve Perenolde, along with Prince Theraldis, Overlord Geya'rah, and Jastor Gallywix, were the leaders to stay loyal to Sylvanas Windrunner. Under Sylvanas's command, Beve armed her forces for battle against their enemies and managed to arrive upon the gates of Orgrimmar to be ready. During the conflict, Varok Saurfang challenged Sylvanas to a Mak'gora, which ended in his death and Sylvanas's abandonment of the Horde. In light of Sylvanas's betrayal, many of her former loyalists bent the knee to Saurfang's revolutionaries, Beve Perenolde among them. Beve Perenolde subsequently attended Saurfang's funeral. Angered over Sylvanas' betrayal towards the Horde, Beve wanted to lead his people out and become neutral, no longer wishing to choose sides at all since she saw that the Horde has changed.

Before Saurfang's funeral, Lady Beve spoke with Chieftain Baine Bloodhoof and High King Anduin Wrynn on top of the gate of Orgrimmar, explaining her betrayal towards the Alliance many years ago and that she plans to leave the Horde in order for her people to live in peace, and promises that they will not choose sides if conflicts erupt in the future. Anduin told her that it was in the past and that she and her people can always choose a path that they believe is right. Even Baine told her that the Horde once only had one race and shows her that this new Horde has plenty of races that look at each other as a family, something that Thrall and Vol'jin had said to him. Feeling touched by those words, Beve decided to take some time to decide whether her people should choose to stay with the Horde or remain neutral.

Visions of N'Zoth
In the aftermath of N'Zoth's death and the end of the Fourth War, Beve chose to stay with the Horde and joined with the other Horde leaders received the terms for an armistice from the Grand Alliance, putting the Fourth War on hold indefinitely, if not permanently. With that matter settled, Lor'themar Theron addressed the absence of a Warchief. Despite support for Thrall to take the mantle on again, he refused, citing that he had promised Varok Saurfang he would not take on the role once more. Instead, he brought up the idea of the Warchief being necessary, instead bringing in the belief that a change was needed for the Horde's leadership. With this, the Horde Council was created, with Beve Perenolde representing her people.
