Marrim Snowmane is a dwarf paladin and explorer belonging to an old political and military family of Ironforge.

Biography
Born in Ironforge, Marrim was the youngest of two children to Korogh "Madeyes" Snowmane and his wife Tirana. Her father was a general in Ironforge's army, and both he and her brother, Varsil (better known as "Eagleshot"), were expert hunters. Korogh and Varsil had sworn an oath of vengeance against a former Scarlet Crusader-turned-death knight, Baron Artimus Devaneaux, for the human's attacks on a close family friend, the Stormwind knight Oren Tanis. Marrim had remained in the East during the war with the Lich King, where she discovered a surprising affinity for the Light, and trained in Stormwind to become a paladin. Korogh would disappear in Northrend and was believed dead, having not achieved his vengeance; after Artimus was eventually killed by the Forsaken during the Cataclysm, Varsil too disappeared, after deciding to "take a trip" to Outland.

Marrim formally joined up with the Knights of the Silver Hand during the war for the Broken Isles, and made her first journey beyond Azeroth when she traveled up to Argus for the campaign's endgame. It was during this campaign that she met a Dark Iron named Embervina Doomlight, who was also running with the Silver Hand; while Marrim had been aware that some form of reconciliation between the Dark Iron and the other clans had been underway since the Cataclysm, this was the first she had known that the Dark Irons also had paladins. During the Fourth War, both served together on the front lines in Kul Tiras and Zandalar, fighting against the Horde.
