Trouble in Westfall
Once a prosperous region, this rich land has lain fallow since after the Second War, and is now held in strong force by the Defias Brotherhood after the Stormwind army withdrew its support. The People's Militia has erected a last bastion of military power in the region at Sentinel Hill, from where, under the command of Gryan Stoutmantle, they issue commands to anyone willing to aid the cause. Although most of the area's farms have fallen to disrepair and passed into control of the Defias, there are still a number of farmers who bravely (and desperately) cling to their holdings in spite of overwhelming odds.

Name: Tiana Roseden
Age: 24
Race: Human
Class: Rogue
Appearance: Tiana has black hair, dark brown eyes, and tanned skin. She has trained and defined her body quite extensively, making her very quick and agile. In her earlier days as a thief, Tiana once wore the famous red Defias bandit mask. Since her departure from their ranks, she no longer openly displays that same mask, choosing instead to carry it inside her backpack. Around her neck she wears a simple chain necklace, given to her by her mother when she was still just a child.
Biography / History
: The Alliance recaptured Stormwind after the Second War, and they found the city in ruins. King Terenas ordered a massive reconstruction of the city with the assistance of the Alliance human nations and member races. Many of the exiles and refugees from the first war started to return to their old homeland.
The construction was overseen by the House of Nobles, who accepted the help of many artisans and specialists from across the Eastern Kingdoms. The spirit of rebuilding, hope, and prosperity struck many who decided to volunteer for the great work. However, other less altruistic laborers considered the opportunity of rebuilding as a lucrative government contract; a chance to prove their craftsmanship and start anew. Eager to forge new lives, these craftsmen traveled to Stormwind, many bringing their families at great expense.
When the rebuilding was completed, many craftsmen rightly demanded payment for their labor. Engineers, laborers, stonewrights, and blacksmiths marched together to the new keep to request just payment for their services. But there was nothing left to pay with, the remainder of the funds having been spent in order to expand Stormwind's military presence into the surrounding regions. To "solve" the problem, the nobles expelled the "greedy" laborers and artisans from the rebuilt kingdom. The nobles had their new city -- and those that built it were left broken and empty-handed.
Alone, betrayed, and disillusioned with the Alliance, the group turned to the head of the Stonemasons, Edwin VanCleef, for leadership. VanCleef -- master engineer, former assassin under Master Mathias Shaw -- then founded the "Defias Brotherhood". Ostensibly standing for freedom and justice, they built a base of operations in the Deadmines of Westfall -- and VanCleef began plotting his revenge against the kingdom that had betrayed him.
Tiana's father had been one of those artisans that had been cast out of Stormwind, and he brought his family along with him when the Defias seized control of Westfall. Because she was only a child at the time, Tiana didn't understand, and therefore didn't embody, the same hatred that fueled most of the senior members of the Defias Brotherhood. Even so, however, she bought into their promise of true justice, and became a prominent member amidst their ranks.
Though she felt little remorse at striking out against the various Stormwind outposts, Tiana felt a little more uneasy at punishing the poor and defenseless farmers that lived in Westfall. Eventually the unrest in her heart grew more and more, and Tiana realized that the Defias Brotherhood had long forsaken those noble virtues on which it was originally founded.
Tiana left the ranks of the Defias Brotherhood, and she was branded as a traitor and marked for death. She fled to the city of Stormwind, where she offered her services and her intimate knowledge of the Defias gang to SI:7. She has already completed a few quests for the Stormwind Intelligence, including the theft of a shipping docket from the Defias at Jerod's Landing in Elwynn.
