A long time ago-say-two years ago or something like that, 3 panel soul had a comic in which loot from Naxxramas was being made fun of. a 1 handed mace called "Maexxna's Femur" was looted by a female human paladin named Texaporte. I thought this name was a gas.
So when I went to reroll on Ursin and leave the passive, deadened world of Eredar behind me, I decided on a female human with the same haircut named Texaporte. But this was Wrath of the Lich King days, and damned if I'd roll a paladin. So she was a warrior.
She was a damned good warrior at that, and I sped-leveled her up to 80 in give-or-take record time without heirloom gear, and for the entirety of wrath she was my flagship.
She doesn't have a whole lot of real "story" to her, but there are some facts.
She is incredibly, INCREDIBLY xenophobic.
She loathes Orcs more than....more than dwarves love ale.
She loathes the horde only *slightly* less than she loathes orcs.
At some point during her career as a Fury warrior, she was pulled aside by Highlord Mograine, who told her about a weapon being designed to defeat the Lich King. Well damn it all, she had to have it.
She gathered together a bunch of the volatile Primordial Saronite, and confronted the lich king in the cave where he first found Frostmourne. There she stole his old paladin hammer for use in the creation of the new weapon......after fighting through 5,000 ghouls to get to it.
The weapon attracted much more attention from the Lich King than most incursions into his territory had, and he began to speak to her through the hilt of the incomplete weapon, which the highlord called Shadow's Edge. This drove her a little bit more crazy than she was. Before embarking on this task, she would think tactically about whom she charged and attacked. After even getting her hands on this unfinished form, she was filled with the blind blood frenzy type of rage. The kind where she didn't think "there are 10 Orcs there" before attacking.
When finally the lich king was vanquished, the weapon was still incomplete, and that was probably better for her health. While wielding it she found herself unable to speak most of the time. Her only remaining language was very simple and any words at all were hard to say.
So with the slaying of the lich king she could carefully put the incomplete Shadow's Edge on a shelf in the back of her bank vault and never pick it up again.
For the most part I haven't done much in cataclysm with ol' tex. She....warriors are not....
Warriors are having some pvp trouble, and as far as tanking goes, Death Knights are much. Much more broken.
