[b]Friends & Allies:[/b] Though one is skeptical to trust an Assassin, and a Forsaken one at that, Bellmont has managed to make a few friends. And those few he calls allies, are under his vigilant and constant protection always.

Xylien: Wife, Bellmont has been utterly infatuated with her upon meeting her five years after the Forsaken's establishment of their faction.

Dergs: Another Undead Rogue who's tongue is often sharper then his blade or skills. Though he would suffer no emotional harm if Dergs where to perish Bellmont does value him as one of his more skilled and precise agents.

Bayne: One of the few animals Bellmont trusts, Bayne is Bellmont's loyal steed and has served him many times. Was also the only thing resilient and loyal enough to come back after the plagues.

Arkonn: The Blood Elven Ranger who's name is now infamous with the Grin, Bellmont gradually became friends with this Elf on the numerous battlefields in which they fought during the Elf's time in the Blacktooth Grin.

Nathanos Marris (The Blightcaller): Supreme Commander of the Horde Forces in the Plaguelands and the Dark Lady's Champion. The only Human Ranger-Lord and one of four Grand Admirals alongside Bellmont. The two intially rivals became friends after several battles together in the early days of the Forsaken.

[b]Affilations[/b]: The Blacktooth Grin is far from the only organization that Bellmont holds allegiance to, but a Rogue's contacts must be vast if his career is to be lucrative.

The Blacktooth Grin (Member of the leading Scythegore Arm): Bellmont holds more loyality to this warband then most assume. Though his personally opinion of Gorfrunch is generally negative, Bellmont none the less continues to work for the good of the clan. Many times actually suffering for it's benefits.

The Forsaken (Grand Executor): A member of the Forsaken since it's first days, Bellmont's skill in infiltration, murder and command naturally was noticed by the Dark Lady. Bellmont is currently one of the four Grand Executors of the Forsaken, who are second only to Varimathras, and obviously their Queen Slyvanas.

The Royal Court of Lordaeron: Upon promotion to the rank of Grand Executor Bellmont was knighted by the Dark Lady, thus placing him in this royal court of nobles.

1st Lordaeron Guard: The regiment of the Undercity's Imperial Dreadguards that Bellmont controls. This was one of the original Forsaken fighting forces commanded jointly by Nathanos Marris and Bellmont.

The Deathstalkers: The current Grandmaster of their order, Bellmont controls the movement and subterfuge acted out by the Deathstalkers. His word to them is only topped by their Queen's and Varimathras.

The Sha'Tar Skyguard: Bellmont is known as an incrediably skilled pilot among their ranks. Mostly due to his destructive abilties gained from engineering.

Ravenholdt Manor: Bellmont is a legend whispered among these halls, seen little here, short of the occasional meetings with Mathias Shaw.

The Scarlet Crusade: Under the guise of Inquistor Enrich, Bellmont has worked his way into this organization not only enough to relay useful information to the Undercity but also long enough for it to leave a few negative traits in his real personality.

Stormwind Council of Nobles: Under the guise of Robert Blackthorn, Bellmont has worked his way so deep into Stormwind's opperations that he occasionally can whisper in the ear of Fordragon himself. This did not occur till after the Grin's exodus from Outland, where a few peices of information from some stranded Black Dragons somehow inspired Lady Katrana Prestor to make him a larger player in the council.

[b]Origins[/b]-
Neven Bellmont was the fourth child of the noble Bellmont family. At the time, his older siblings where already prominent in the fields polotics, philosphey and war.

As thus he was given signifigantly less attetnion and care. At the age of thirteen he took apprenticeship to one of the captain of the group of Knight's who aided in guarding their manor near Alterac.

Two years later the Second War dawned, and Bellmont was casually thrown into it despite his age. He quickly learned at his first battle that at his age, no matter how strong or a shield and armor, a hit from an orcish warhammer will knock you down none the less.

As thus Bellmont began to steal the lighter leather armor from the Elven Rangers who occasionally accompanied them into battle. Though he lacked the dexterity to use a bow with much skill, he did begin to self-teach the art of subterfuge.

Sneaking around the camp, stealing food, weapons, supplies and then vanishing into the black night came to him naturally. And aided him even more in the battlefield.

Bellmont's platoon was tossed around commanders quite frequently. To the majority of the men this was a hassle, but Bellmont took the oppertunity to learn of the other race's tatics and culture.

In particular he admired the Elven Rangers ability to hide in the shadows and unleash a wave of arrows upon Orc regiments. And also began to become highly interested in the engineering skills of the Dwarves and the Gnomes, picking up advanced information about the art along the warpath.

Bellmont served in several important battles during the Second War. Most notabley the battle of the Grim Batol, where he learned in detail how to accuratley aim a Dwarven Mortar. As it was the only truely efficent way to deal with a Dragon, as he had no intentino of getting anywhere near those.

Bellmont also fought at the battle of Blackrock Spire, where he witnessed the final battle of Anduian Lothar and gained a respect for Turalyon after seeing him lead the charge into the spire.

When the portal was closed, Bellmont was on the outside and soon afterwards was informed by a messenger that he was now the leading member of the Bellmont family.

During the war Alterac had betrayed the Alliance of Lordaeron and aided the Horde, believing their victory to be inevitable. As thus, the majority of the nobles had been executed. This included his parents and brother, Armand, as they had been found guilty in the conspiracey (His two sisters had been wed to the Barov and Rivendare families). He was also quite enraged that his army payment had been overlooked due to his new status, and was replaced with the rewarding of a strong young horse named Bayne. Which he eventually decided to be a better reward then initally assumed, after seeing the beast's strength and loyality.

Due to his prefernce to Elven tatics he was sent to Eversong along with another prodgical human, Nathanos Marris. It was there they both had to give the news to the Ranger-General Slyvanas Windrunner of her sister's assumed passing.

Bellmont developed both a strong crush and respect on the Elven commander upon seeing her strength despite the loss of a family member (the latter was dispelled upon learning of the Elven and Human lifespawn differnces, in which Slyvanas was nearly three times Bellmont's age and just in adulthood).

Though his skills in meelee and stealth far surpassed his rival, Nathanos Marris, his utter lack in skill with bows and inability to connect with most animals gave Nathanos clearance over-himself to be trained as a ranger.

Begrudginally Bellmont tipped his hat and left Quel'Thalas, moving back to his manner in Alterac for several days but then quickly subcomming to un-ending boredom.

He attempted to entertain himself by playing in the King's discussions at Lordaeron, however being a noble without land or army, he was generally dismissed.

Bellmont then began to track down Orcish remnants from the Second War, and pitted against them various groups of bandits he lead astray as well. Studing and admiring the Orc's blood shed. Noting their clan banners and such as he watched from the shadows.

In particular he noted the savage power of one of the remnants that fought under the banner of bright white fangs. The part they'd play in his destiny at that time was unforseeable.

Upon hearing of various rumors of a plague Bellmont began hiring various mercenaries, and traveled about Lordaeron, figuring finding evidence of it's fabrication or existence would propell him to a spot of more power.

Bellmont did find proof, lots of proof. Unfortunetly, by that time, it was far from a rumor. Undead attacked him frequently, and utterly slaughtered the mercenaries he had hired to aid him.

He found salvation in the city of Hearthglen, staying at an inn one night in a hope to finally rest easy. This hope was futile. That same night the villagers fell ill and began to turn intot he monsterous abominations he'd fought on the way here. Realizing the horror of the situation Bellmont fled the inn only to find more outside.

Unintentionally aiding Prince Arthas in his battle to protect Hearthglen, barely surviving the horrid ordeal. He was then recongized by a former commander, Uther the Lightbringer as a former sergeant of Lordaeron and was given the offer to ride with them.

Bellmont took up this offer, and followed the warpath to Stratholme. His boredom was at last over. Unfortunetly, boredom was soon replaced at horror, not just at the masses of undead creatures but at the Prince of Lordaeron.

Bellmont briefly confronted the Prince during his slaughter of the people of Stratholme, however he was quickly chased off by his footmen.

Searching and finding Uther, Bellmont traveled with him to Andorhal. Where he stayed for several days before making a last stand along with many Paladins of the Silver Hand.

It was there his vision went dim, and the first echoes of the Lich King's voice entered his mind. He soon slipped into a partially-concisis state. What Bellmont did in the thrall of the Lich King is unknown even to him. If what he remembers where events or mere nightmares are unknown, but they're horrid none the less, and he seldom wishes to think about them.

Eventually Bellmont 'woke-up'. It was sudden and shocking, and suddenly he realized he was sorrunded by the Undead once again. Not knowing his current predicament, he began to savagely attack them.

Again and again he struck them down, killing skeletons, ghouls, abominations and even several necromancers. He attacked them, yet most looked at him strangely at first.

He felt arrows pierce his stomach, pain errupted yet he did not die. So he continued to kill. Eighty three creatures of the Scourge he slayed, dropping to his knees and wandering over to a river to drink.

It was there he saw his reflection, and recoiled in horror. He then spent several days roaming what is now the Western Plaguelands. Scavenging armor, weapons and food from derelict farms and dead soldiers, slaying any Scourge he found upon the way.

Yet, to his greatest fortune they're where more like him. A small following of other Undead who's will had been taken back. Confused, roaming and sorrowful each and everyone. Was this punishment? A nightmare? None knew.

None knew, until the group of Undead stumbled upon a battle. Undead against Undead, yet one flew the colors of the Scourge, and the others did not.

Knowing little of what was going on, Bellmont and the other nomads attacked the Scourge. Slaughtering them violently and savagely with utter hatred spurring them on to fight continuesly.

Bellmont was thrilled when he learned of the leader of this group. He pledged his loyality to the rebellion's leader, a face still in his memory. Slyvanas Windrunner.

And unfortunetly, the face of Nathanos Marris as well. The two aided in command of the rebellion's forces in every battle they waged against the Scourge.

He saw the death of Detheroc and Balnazzar, as well as the submitting of Varimathras. Upon the birth of the Forsaken Bellmont pledged himself to the Dark Lady.

Bellmont as well as the others who had aided her in the earlier days where given higher positions in her ranks. Bellmont learned of the human's agressiveness towards them (Both the Scarlet Crusade's and most of the Alliance's humans) and warned that they'd need stronger allies if they intended to survive in a world that hated them.

Originally the High Elves, now Blood Elves where contacted. However, assuming a trap they turned down the Alliance on several occasions. Bellmont then preposed an allegiance with the Horde, though this was orginally scoffed at it was eventually accepted.

Bellmont was the diplomat sent to talk with the Orcish Ambassador of the new Horde. The studies of the Orcish culture he did in his free time previous to the plague aiding him greatly.

After several sucessful campaigns to gain footholds in Silverpine Forest, the Arathi Highlands and the Hillsbrad Foothills, Bellmont was then given the task of aiding the war-effort in Alterac Valley.

It was there we raged war for several months before being contacted by a courier and sent back to the Undercity. His Queen expressed her frusteration with the Orc's non-violence policey with the Alliance, they attacked the Forsaken's borders yet if they wanted to remain in the Horde they where not to retaliate.

Bellmont was sent to infiltrate the rebelious Orcish clan known as the Blacktooth Grin. And so he did, silently rising in the ranks of the Orcish Clan and directing their wrath in the path of the Forsaken's enemies.

Now a member of the leading Scythegore Arm, Bellmont's rank among the Forsaken is well known among the Grin. Thrall is kept blind to the Grin's whereabouts and movement in the Eastern Kingdoms, in exchange for wiping out the enemies they are unable too.

Though his loyality his divided, Bellmont is both a faithful servant of the Blacktooth Grin and the Undercity. Ready to massacure anyone who would dare oppose the might of Queen, Country and Clan.
