Garona Halforcen covered her face, trying to stop the bleeding. Her assassination attempt had just failed, leaving this wound on her face!
The only thing to be thankful for was that the battlefield had been chaotic enough for her to escape in the confusion.
Assassinating enemy commanders on the battlefield was Garona's mission, and she had succeeded several times! There had been the Draenei Exarch named "Larohi" in Shattrath, the Arakkoa sage Vereks atop Skyreach, Taga Spinebreaker, chieftain of the Bonechewer Clan, and that human commander in Darkshire...
This time had been no exception. She had hidden on the city wall early on, observing the humans' movements... When that lavishly dressed human appeared, she immediately realized that he was their supreme commander!
Without hesitation, Garona thought of her target and swung her short blade...
But it had ended in failure. The human commander had displayed fighting prowess completely at odds with his appearance. Garona's assassination attempt had been easily thwarted, and she had fled!
But she had not left. Instead, she had hidden around the city wall, waiting for another opportunity.
It was not because she was particularly loyal to the Horde or Gul'dan. To be honest, Garona disliked the Horde and hated Gul'dan even more. Rather, if her mission failed, Gul'dan's cruelest punishment would await her!
Garona was a half-orc-more precisely, a half-orc of mixed Draenei and orc blood! Her mother had been a Draenei captive, a captive provided for the orcs to vent their lust on. As for which orc her father was, perhaps no one in the entire world knew.
Garona had grown up in the orc army's camps. All the orcs had despised her for her half-orc blood and given her an insulting name: Halforcen!
Then Gul'dan had found her and brought her to the Stormreaver
