Bayul

=Physical Description=

'''Bayul is ancient, and it shows. His fur is a dull gray, with large patches of white on his muzzle and chest. His horns are worn and cracked, with one almost completely broken off. He stands hunched over, the weight of many years bearing down on him.'''

'''His eyes are colorless and faded. His sight, nearly gone. Regardless, he never seems to struggle with his focus. When speaking to someone, he faces them (though he seems to be staring through them, usually). When focusing on moving objects, he seems to lock on to his target. His precision and reactions are so sharp and fluid, it's almost as if he has a sixth sense.'''

'''When Bayul walks, he leans heavily on a gnarled staff which appears to be as old as he is. Although he moves slowly, there seems to be no lack of vigor. He never seems to tire, and when called to action, can be surprisingly swift and powerful in his movements.'''

'''Most noticeably, Bayul wears a large, emerald gem around his neck. Those who get close to him cannot help but be drawn to it. The emerald itself pulses and changes hues, and some have even claimed to see it change shape.'''



=Personality= '''Bayul is always eager to meet new people and hear what they have to say. Although Bayul has the ability to sense the subtle, emotional energy given off by any living being, he always keeps himself in check, never passing judgment until he's sure of their intent.'''

'''Bayul is easy to approach and is always eager to help. He greets everyone with the same, warm smile, even those that would do him harm. His smile puts friends at ease and throws his enemies off guard.'''

Though he is slow to anger, he will not hesitate to use force on those that would cause harm to himself or innocent bystanders.

'''Due to his age, both ally and enemy alike underestimate his true power and potential. Bayul keeps few secrets, and is always willing to answer questions. Still, very few know of his ancient past or current agenda.'''

=History=


 * From the public records of Warden Tajarri of the Cenarion Circle:

"I've spent the last few weeks trying to uncover as much as I could about the tauren druid, Bayul. It seems he is special, and Keeper Remulos in particular seemed both excited and nervous when he heard Bayul's name spoken among the elder druids of Nighthaven. I've tried to pry information from master Remulos, but he remains tight lipped on the subject. The elders too, won't divulge much. One of them however, lent me an ancient tome that documents events during the first invasion of the Burning Legion. To my great surprise, it did not take me long to find mention of Bayul..."
