The Avenger of Bal'Tharas: "When the empire of Bal'Tharas fell to the legions of the Dominion and its crown world was razed to ash during the war, its people were devastated. Their dream of a peaceful, harmonic realm was thwarted, and their conquerors had nothing but disdain for them. However, not all were ready to surrender, despite defeat. The Avenger was originally one of the empire's elected leaders and their life-purpose was to nurture its natural life in all forms. They were pacifistic and opposed to even defensive war, but now, when all of their dreams were dashed, they saw that sometimes, violence was the only answer."
