It is with deep regret that I’m putting quill to parchment to report to the noble and honourable tribe of The Red Blades the events and reasons for infiltrating the tribe.
For I must now confess I’m not the Orc you all think I’ am.
I will start with a full copy of a report I have now sent to my true Lord and patron.


Thrall
   It is as I have said the taint of the Legion.
                             IS NOT UPON THE  RED BLADES.

The existence of this tribe is a noble and loyal one and should be honoured within the Orc nation.

It is with some sense of relief I must report that I have failed in my duty to carry out your order to terminate Kad the blade warrior whom I was sent to investigate.
He may be (which I very much doubt) still the only source of concern within the tribe.
Although we did cross blades he meet me in true combat, with great honour and not as one whom had been tainted.
He did not fight with deception in his heart a true reflection that he had not been tainted.
He had me beat, but he did not or would not follow through with any killing blow this has left me confused.
Could the reports on this warrior be wrong, could the source of your information be less then accurate, perhaps we should be looking more deeply at that source, after all was it not a warlock who first brought this tribe to your attention?
I feel the answers to these questions are yes you have been deceived.
Why?
To bring down the tribe of The Red Blades.
For they are a great thorn in the side of the human alliance a trait I wish all tribes had then perhaps we could all sleep with out a blade in our hands.

I have found an old script containing a parchment within Kads possessions of his life cycle a copy of which I have enclosed with this report.
It clearly tells of a young Orc whom had a troubled youth, was it merely these demons that had come back to haunt him in his twilight years and not a tainting.
I have also heard stories of his social habits manly his drinking habits it has been said he participated in long sessions to keep his past at bay.
 
The leader of the tribe is one Akseha her story is not yet known to me.
She leads the tribe in a fair and just way not with an iron hand as many other tribes.
She is revered with in the tribe to the point of worship by some which I would add is not looked upon by myself as a healthy thing.
My only misgivings here are that she wanders with out personal guard not a wise thing.

In conclusion the tribe is clean of any taint and should no longer be under any sort of outside involvement from yourself or the agency.

On a personal note I have come to respect the tribe and wish to stay within there family,
And yes before you say it uncle “you should not become personally involved in your work” I must report that once again here I have failed you.

I will be talking with Alkesha and asking if this sits well with her and the rest of the family.
If they are as noble a tribe as I see them then they will understand it was a necessary act which I have carried out and not a personal vendetta.
After all if Kad had been tainted (and this I do not now believe) he could of brought the whole tribe down and took them into the abyss of the Dark Legion.     
Incidentally there are a few orc within the tribe that should be approached and would make fine agent’s names of which I will be sending to you soon.

                                                   Claws
 
Daughter of Nazgrel.
First Assassin to Thrall.

On another mater I have still not received payment for my last assignment the assignation of the Blackhand agents, are your arms that short you can not get to the bottom of your pocket.



To the Tribe of The Red Blades.

I look back on my deeds within the tribe with deep sorrow for the deception I’m guilty of but I would if so ordered do it again to preserve the Orc nation.
I did not get close to Kad which I now regret, as this would of comprised my mission.
And I implore you all not to judge me on that mission.
Kad should and will be remembered within the tribe for the great and noble warrior a master traction he once was and not the old confused Orc he had become in his later days.
He had gone against the wish of his matriarch and sent his self into exile an act that told me he was battling within his own mind.
He was taking the lives of innocent family’s women, and children alike not the act of a noble warrior (this was also against the wish of his matriarch but I also note here he was not the only one participating in this act).   
When we crossed blades, I saw some thing within in his eyes I had not seen within him for many a day.
Sorrow and realization of what he was becoming was that what stayed his blade and made him run away to hide his inner anger.

I say to you all look for this once great warrior in the place’s he once called home and share a drink or two talks of old deeds with him and treat him with great honour for he deserves nothing less.
My work is done.
                                                 Claws

                                                             Awaiting the tribe’s decision.

The Journal of Kei

((Only read if you or bored goes on a bit taken from old postings))


A Trusted Blade by your side.
It his here that my story starts.
Thrall needed to lessen the burden on his self and in powered his personal body guard Nazgrel to aid him in the running in the day to day maters of the now vast Orc Empire.

Nazgrel became trusted and much liked by the Horde and even respected by the Humans for his Honor both on and off the field of battle.
He lived by his own code which was looked upon by some with strange amusement for that of a great warrior.

1.   Be selective in your prey do not kill for the love of killing that only takes you down the path of the berserkers and once again to the doors of the Legion.
2.   Be wary of all whom use the dark arts especially the warlocks for it was these that plunged our kind into the service of the Legion.
3.   Trust is built upon time, trust once and see what develops from that trust.
4.   Never look down on an Orc of lower station we all started there even the greatest of our warriors and leaders.
5.   And above all nether ever take the blood of an orc unless he is your mortal enemy.

In time Nazgrel took an Orc wife Teku who he had rescued from a Human raiding party among the hills of the Barrens.
Teku was of a wild character which drew Nazgrel to her, not knowing a family and only a handful of trusted friends, she was street wise living in the back alleys of Alliance and Horde town’s coming and going as she liked an Orc of great stealth known to her few friends as Ghost.
The marriage was how ever short lived as she could not live the life of Nazgrel within the confines of the Horde city.
She left Nazgrel with great reluctance and on good terms and vowed to return to him when she felt she could settle down.
Nazgrel was torn between the Horde nation and his love for his wife but could not leave the Horde but understood his wife’s dilemma has he too had a deep longing for the open tundra again.
He provided for all her needs and gave to her a great wealth so she would not need for any thing and also two loyal blade warriors as her personal body guard.
 
Unbeknown to Nazgrel, Teku was with child when the final day of her departure came and she vowed that she would not revile this to him has it would tear Nazgrel apart having to then decide between the Horde and his now extended family.
She made her retainers swear a blood oath not to revile her secret, but in return had to swear as part of that oath to let the knowledge be known to the off spring when he / she came of age of its heritage as well as Nazgrel his self.

And now that brings me to my life so far.
I was brought up not knowing my heritage.
I was known as Claws because of my fast and unyielding way of battle (although this is not my given name).
Always being kept away from others to keep my identity from becoming knowledge to the Humans whom would go to any lengths to get hold of the child of one of there greatest adversaries.
Except for the company of my mother’s retainers whom came to be my tutors and closest friends taught me all they could about the way of the blade and bow my only other company were the teachers brought in from around the known world to instruct me in the ways of diplomacy and commerce.
At the coming of age was told the story of my heritage which came as a great shock to me, always believing that I was just an unwanted illegitimate child of some noble and not the wanted child of some Great warrior in the personal ranks of the greatest of all warlords Thrall.
After many days of soul searching I went to my mother telling her that I wished to be known to my farther and would go to him in the Horde city which she agreed as her blood oath had dictated.
On my departure she came to me and gave me two wonders blades both which had belong to Nazgrel him self and would be the proving my blood line.
And told me of the unwritten code of honor which my farther lived by and which I should endeavor to live by with a few added on from her.

1.   Be selective in your prey do not kill for the love of killing that only takes you down the path of the berserkers and once again to the doors of the Legion.
2.   Be wary of all whom use the dark arts especially the warlocks for it was these that plunged our kind into the service of the Legion.
3.   Trust is built upon time, trust once and see what develops from that trust.
4.   Never look down on an Orc of lower station we all started there even the greatest of our warriors and leaders.
5.   And above all nether ever take the blood of an orc unless he is your mortal enemy.
6.   Remember not all have the luxury of your up bringing and are thrown into there destiny some willing to be, some not so willing but just carried along by circumstance.
7.   Trust in your blade and your own skills do not rely on others to come to your aid.
8.   And keep your identity safe from those whom would show you harm.

                                             I ‘m known as
                                                        Claws

And yet my life story is not yet done I can often be seen sitting with my father and the elite guards, and even some times Thrall his self being told of great battles long forgotten in the history of our great nation but not in the hearts and minds of our great of warriors.
And when sitting there I see in the eyes of my father the longing for once again the simple life and being reunited with his wife and love Teku.
