"They turned their backs on me first. I merely returned the favor."

Mysterious and reclusive, Professor Coldgaze protects his personal life and background with an unyielding veil of secrecy, a cloak of total cover-up. Rumor and legend cluster around him, spinning tales of yesteryear's adventures in the frontier days of Quel'thalas. In these enticing theories, however, hardened reality and official recognition of his being stubbornly elude our grasp.Born as Arypus of the House Falor'dal, his history is as complex as the spells he once shattered with ardor and magical ability against foes. His history is ingrained in the fabric of the kingdom, with over three thousand years of background from the Amani War against the Amani Empire. His existence had a change during the Fall, though. Showing absolute allegiance, Arypus abdicated from all titles and wealth, leaving it all to his country as a show of unselfish dedication. Sadly, this act went by largely unnoticed by the general public, and he slipped back into the background once the Sunwell was put back in its proper place again. He resurfaced later as one of the members of the Reliquary, putting his knowledge in the oldest tongues and the past to guide a revolutionary research team to Pandaria. Although climbing to the institute, Arypus could never have the desire to retire, ultimately passing on leadership to his former protégé, only to take back the seat of command in the time of the Dragonscale Expedition.Although he was of mature age, the study of the Arcane's secrets by Arypus was only five centuries ago. By the intense practicing of the breaking of spells, he refined his expertise in arcane finesse and proceeded without issue to branch out in the magical practices of abjuration, transmutation, and conjuring spells. A stable foundation in the study of the breaking, foiling, and deflection of spells, he expanded upon it the study of these arcane disciplines. His intense education as a soldier to this day, with Arypus constantly practicing his skills with periodic training sessions, he once was the Headmaster of the Reliquary Institute, with absolute hand in reigning and brotherly fellowship among members until his authority had been usurped by force. Unperturbed, he moves in the shadows, masterminding the rise of the Night Shift, a shadow society built to bring down the established power monopoly that he believes to be unfair, gathering like-minded souls to the cause that he believes in.

Author's Note

Hello, and welcome!I’m Elethyl, a veteran roleplayer in World of Warcraft since 2009. My passion lies in structured, long-term, and narrative-driven roleplay, where character choices matter and stories evolve organically. While I appreciate casual RP, I find that walk-up city roleplay often lacks the depth I seek—most of my characters wouldn’t strike up idle conversation with strangers without reason. I prefer planned, intentional interactions that allow for meaningful character development.I enjoy roleplay that includes adventure, mystery, puzzles, intrigue, and magic, with a focus on collaborative storytelling that balances both character and worldbuilding elements. The best roleplay happens when OOC coordination and IC progression go hand in hand, ensuring every scene has purpose and impact.I will not engage in ERP outside of deeply story-driven contexts, and I do NOT consent to my characters being used in inappropriate or OOC contexts, such as hentai art. I don’t permit it. I’m an old-school romantic at heart; if someone wants to win my characters over, it needs to happen in-character and through meaningful, well-developed storytelling.If my approach to roleplay resonates with you, feel free to reach out. You can contact me via my social media or Discord, linked at the footer of this page!
