Thomas summoning the Inv wand 1h kultirasquest b 01 [Abyssal Scepter].

Thomas Zelling was a human tidesage of Kul Tiras that was sick and about to die before he made a pact with the Forsaken: they would raise him as an undead and he would help the Horde as long as his still-living family would be protected.[2][3] As a tidesage, he turned to the Void to try to cure his disease[4] with the Inv misc book 17 [Book of Forbidden Magics] that was confiscated by Commander Augustine.[5] However, he still considers the N'Zoth and Queen Azshara aligned tidesages lost, no longer tidesages, and to have submitted themselves to powers they do not understand and have hurt Kul Tirans, hurting the name of the tidesages.[6][7]

He helped the Horde find the wreck of the Kul Tiran Third Fleet, where they found the bodies of Marshal M. Valentine and Derek Proudmoore. When the Alliance subsequently infiltrated the Banshee's Wail, he summoned a water barrier in the middle deck, protecting Tattersail and several deckhands.[8] He then went outside and used his power to summon a water barrier around the whole ship.[9] Afterwards he helped the Horde obtain the Inv wand 1h kultirasquest b 01 [Abyssal Scepter].[10][11]

Zelling felt the coerced undeath and brainwashing of Derek Proudmoore was an atrocity, and so he helped Baine Bloodhoof smuggle Derek back to Jaina Proudmoore.[12] Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner discovered Zelling's involvement in Baine's plot however, and publicly ordered his execution during a public convention of the Horde's leadership to send a message that disloyalty to her won't be tolerated.[1]
