Negragh Tor'kren, orc warrior.
Mistreavers Drill Instructor.
Negragh started out as a bank alt. He remained level 1 for ages and ages and ages. When I referred my mother to the game I didn't have many (cough, any) empty character slots, so I ran Negragh out to level with mom (triple xp if you level together on a refer-a-friend). Negragh is now 67!
Bank alts are fun to role play now and again so Negragh developed a bit of personality and eventually was inserted into my hunter, Karnig's, backstory as an Uncle. (Negragh is the brother of Karnig's father... who is married to Mish Tor'kren the NPC in Durotar). It started out as nothing more than "get off my lawn" type griping at people near "his" mailbox in Orgrimmar. My personal bank guild is called simply, "Banker", so Negragh can be a tad confusing in Orgrimmar (I have people run up to me and try and right click on me now and then).
The story goes that Negragh is a veteran from the 2nd war and settled into a cozy retirement when his brother died leaving behind a wife and three boys. Negragh was too old to fight full time and so went and got a job as a banker in Orgrimmar to support his brother's widow (Misha has a swine farm but apparently it wasn't enough to feed three growing boys). When Negragh took up the sword again (swords, he's Fury) it was with much griping and groaning and plenty of muscle ache cream.
Now Negragh, who became so much fun to role play to remain just a bank alt, is in Mistreavers... and while is technical "rank" is only private he is the official Drill Instructor for recruits in the Warhost. (Mistreavers limits role play rank to one per person... if you have a toon that is an officer or in any kind of leadership role within the guild, none of your other toons can rise above the basic RP rank. That's to "spread it around" and make sure there are plenty of RP opportunities for everyone.) He doesn't actually instruct anyone, but he does a lot of bitching about how the recruits aren't learning anything and how they'll surely get someone killed with their ineptitude.
Aside from his tie-in with my hunter, Negragh also has a tie in with a Death Knight known as Blackscar. Blackscar, when he was alive, was Negragh's drill instructor. As old and cranky as Negragh is... Blackscar is worse.
