Ambassador Monongahela, the Diplomat
Everybody needs to run a healer eventually, so Monongahela is mine. I used a leveling guide and got him to 60 in a record five days playing time! (Hey, leveling was slow back in Burning Crusade!) I started him up and had a Mage port him to Exodar, just to start the game somewhere different - This was before there was a ship to take you there straight from Stormwind. He eventually became my main character.

The name "Monongahela" comes from the Monongahela River, which ends here in Pittsburgh. (Mah-nong'-gah-hey-la)

Character Background
Monongahela left to become a priest at the behest of his father, but chickened out upon arrival at Northshire Abbey, before even speaking to Deputy Willem. He wanted to see the world, not to be nailed down in Stormwind assisting the needy. He ran straight to the Stormwind Harbor and took on the first job he could find as a shiphand.

The ship was sailing on the western shore of Kalimdor when the Draenei's dimensional ship crashed, and was in the party sent to shore to investigate. He quickly warmed to the Draenei and told them his story. It was through their help that he resumed his training as a priest and became a diplomatic contact assisting in integrating the Draenei into the Alliance. Having had his calling in The Light reignited, he returned to Stormwind ready to follow in the steps of his father. His father was incredibly proud to see his son stepping off the ship into Stormwind with the Draenei Ambassador.

Monongahela enjoys helping at the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, but when King and country call, he answers. Over the years, he has helped negotiate connections between the Alliance and factions in Outland, Northrend, and Pandaria.

Disaster struck at the Cataclysm, however. Monongahela was away assisting the needy in Westfall when Deathwing attacked. He rushed back to town only to find that both his parents had been visiting with the druids in Stormwind's Park District and were lost.

He assisted in the journey to retrieve Anduin Wrynn from Pandaria, but isn't very pleased about seeing the boy use mind control on an ally - he's quietly keeping an eye on the boy. He spent most of the time assisting in Alliance/Pandaria relations, but assisted in the Siege of Orgrimmar, personally helping take down the warchief. He feels more optimistic about Vol'jin's leadership than he did about Thrall or Garrosh.

Upon hearing of a new threat coming through the Dark Portal, Monongahela was personally asked for by Vindicator Maraad to assist.
