Kill 8 Burning Depths Necrolytes and 10 Smoldering Skeletons outside of the [[Obsidian Dragonshrine]]. Return to [[Serinar]] once the task is complete.

  +
Guénon's birthplace is unknown, he was found by a female shaman in the middle of the wilds of [[Echo Isles]], as the [[Darkspear Trolls]] evacuated from the island during [[Zalazane]]'s revolt.
== Description ==
 
  +
He seemed to be extremely young for troll standards -around 19 years old- and was extremely wild, his aggressive nature made the woman leave him behind.
We will spare no one.
 
  +
Guénon didn't know how to speak neither [[Orcish]] nor [[Zandali]], and it also seemed that his only friend was a Bloodtalon Raptor.
  +
Guénon fought against some of the Hexed Trolls but their Voodoo scared him off the island alongside his raptor companion.
   
  +
Upon arriving at Durotar's shore, he was found by [[Zjolnir]], the raptor handler of the recently founded [[Sen'jin Village]], Guénon seemed aggressive to the other troll but he quickly calmed down as he found out that Zjolnir wasn't there to cause any harm both to him and Gorossauro.
Outside, lowly necrolytes and their skeletal servants shame my land with their presence. Slaughter them all.
 
   
  +
Zjolnir felt pity of Guénon, and decided to take him to Sen'jin Village, there, Guénon learned to socialize and speak, something he did very quickly. Now Guénon had a decent set of clothes, his tusks were arranged, he also became capable of speaking Zandali and Orcish -even though he speaks in a more rudimentary version of the default troll accent-.
== Rewards ==
 
You will receive: {{cost|5|60}}
 
   
  +
The life of Guénon and his raptor got a lot better since those days and as a retribution, the jungle troll pledged his services to the Darkspear tribe, even though he was not official member.
== Progress ==
 
  +
He trained several years alongside Gorossauro in the ways of the [[Hunter]], a path that fits his link with the beasts of the wild.
I see the blood on your hands... is it done then?
 
   
  +
After months of unstoppable training, Guénon became a crafty ranged fighter.
== Completion ==
 
Did they beg for their miserable lives? Weaklings.
 
   
  +
Guénon did nothing aside from playing minor roles in the events toward the ''[[Classic]] [[World of Warcraft]]''. But it was during this time that Guénon befriended the [[furbolg]]s from [[Timbermaw Hold]] and gave aid to the [[Forsaken]] [[House of Barov]], making [[Alexi Barov]] with such a huge debt to the troll hunter that he would only be able pay years later.

  +
Guénon was back to [[Orgrimmar]] from a mission at [[Tanaris]] and decided to stop by the [[inn]], there, he saw a group of four [[orc]]s talking about demons spawning from the [[Dark Portal]].
   
  +
Guénon learned much about the history of the [[Horde]] and the hearing the words "Dark Portal" being said to reference a modern event called his attention. The troll interrupted the orcs' conversation, asking what was happening at the Dark Portal, only to hear a whole collection of insults never said before.
[[Category:Wyrmrest Accord quests]]
 
  +
  +
[[Gamon]], a [[tauren]] who suffered serious bullying from almost every [[adventurer]] that passed in Orgrimmar, decided to lend a hand to the troll hunter, and explained him what was happening at the [[Blasted Lands]]. After thanking Gamon, Guénon decided that he and Gorossauro should join the fight against the hordes of demons. By taking a portal to [[Stonard]] after bribing a [[mage]], Guénon stole a wolf mount and -with his raptor on his shoulders- ran as fast as he could to the Dark Portal.
  +
  +
===== Captured! =====
  +
  +
After a long and exhaustive battle, the demons were pushed back and the battle was taken to the [[Stair of Destiny]] at [[Outland]].
  +
In a moment of the conflict, Guénon and Gorossauro were captured by a trio of [[Felguard]]s and both were sent to the [[Pit Commander]], the [[Annihilan]] decided that they should be sent to [[Tempest Keep]] so they could be used as a bargain if a dire future took place.
  +
  +
But the demons that were bringing Guénon and Gorossauro to the keep didn't even manage to leave [[Hellfire Penninsula]], they were killed in an ambush coordinated by a small [[Illidari]] group. [[User:Mig64/Kortoh Stripribs|Kortoh Stripribs]], who was the group's leader, ordered the [[naga]] of the team to warn [[Illidan Stormrage]] that [[Outland]] was being assaulted by creatures from [[Azeroth]] as the rest of the group took them as prisoners to [[Dragonmaw Fortress]].
  +
  +
At the stronghold, Guénon met many other prisoners, among them were many [[Kael'thas]]-loyal [[blood elf|blood elves]], rebel [[Murkblood]] [[Broken draenei|broken]] miners, and a suspicious [[high elf]] that recently arrived.
  +
Guénon asked what was that prison for, why wasn't he and his newfound prison mates killed, the situation was made clear by Bagul'ete, the leader of the imprisoned Broken.
  +
  +
Bagul'ete told Guénon that [[Zuluhed the Whacked]] had developed a method of making the [[netherwing]] [[drake]]s easier to tame, this method consisted of taking the newborn dragon whelps and give prisoners for them to fight against, this way they would follow a path of bloodlust and would see the races of the prisoners as enemies -after their constant attempts to kill these whelps-. This way, only the strongest whelps would survive and the Dragonmaw would have the fiercest air force of all [[Outland]]. Zuluhed was just waiting for the number of prisoners increase until his desired quantity to set the plan into motion.
  +
  +
Guénon said that he wouldn't be sacrificed and that something should be done about it, he proposed that all prisoners united under a single purpose and started a rebellion. Bagul'ete said that several attempts were made before and they all failed, but Brazon Silverstar -the leader of the imprisoned [[blood elves]]- quickly replied, saying that the rebellions were never unified, the blood elves were allies of the [[Burning Legion]] because of [[Kael'thas]], and the Murkblood refused to work alongside the followers of their race's corruptors.
  +
In his thoughts, Guénon was surprised to know that he would have to work alongside his enemies, but he accepted it.
  +
  +
This time, the Broken and Blood Elf leaders were so enraged with the Illidari -mainly the Dragonmaw Clan- that they would accept any alliance to achieve freedom, but they still refused to be led by one of their former enemies. Guénon was always a soldier, he never led anything, and wasn't willing to learn it because failures to do so would bring harsh consequences, thus, he didn't even offer himself to lead the rebellion, instead he tried to convince both to work together for freedom, Guénon tried for several weeks, but it was all in vain.
  +
  +
Seeing that the troll had no success, the high elf revealed himself as the [[nether drake]] Horzinaku, he was ordered by the [[Neltharaku|Netherwing Patriarch]] to disguise himself as a humanoid only to be imprisoned by the [[fel orc]]s and lead a massive but organized rebellion, the Patriarch was well aware of the previous riots and he considered that a successful rebellion would be of great help in the Netherwing's struggle against the Dragonmaw Clan. Horzinaku offered himself to lead the prisoners in their fight against the orcish marauders, Bagul'ete and Brazon Silverstar accepted, stating that having a powerful draconic beast leading them would assure the rebels true victory.
  +
  +
===== Dragonmaw Prison Break =====
  +
  +
Horzinaku reverted to his original form and blasted the prison's gates, once Zuluhed saw the smoke coming from the prison building, he sounded an alarm and the Dragonmaw dragonriders quickly surrounded the prison building from the sky, and a wall of [[shaman]]s surrounded it in the ground.
  +
  +
Horzinaku said that there was no way that he could lead this assault alone, and ordered Bagul'ete and Brazon to work together as equals, each one leading their own people, for the nether drake would have to fight the whole Dragonmaw aerial force while the Blood Elves and Broken fought from the ground.
  +
  +
Using pieces of stone and mining picks as weapons, the prisoners roared in fury and charged against their captors, Guénon jumped on Horzinaku's back, yelling that he would help the drake in taking down the dragonriders, as Gorossauro fought alongside the other prisoners in the ground.
  +
  +
Having to constantly dodge unending waves of arrows from and fireballs, Horzinaku raged against his own subjugated brethen, bringing them and their masters down without mercy, Guénon had no weapon -he was disarmed when he was captured-, and to equip himself he had to jump to the back of another netherwing drake, after dealing with the drake's fel rider with punches and kicks, Guénon stole the dragonrider's bow and made him fall to his death, the drake that Guénon assaulted accepted the troll his new master.
  +
  +
Now equipped with a bow full of enchaced arrows and having two netherwing drakes by his side, Guénon dominated the Dragonmaw forces in the sky, while shooting a few Dragonmaw heads on the ground.
  +
  +
While the rebels managed to put up a fight in the sky, the prisoners of the ground were having difficulties, terribly undergeared in comparison to their captors, Bagul'ete and Brazon could rely only on the few spellcasters present in the group -including themselves, Bagul'ete was an [[Warlock]] whereas Brazon was [[Shadow priest]]-.
  +
Gorossauro was the only one who was being able to bring casualties for the enemy by using a hit-and-run tactic against them, slicing one of the shamans in the back and subsenquently subjulgating another and using him as a meat shield against the other shaman's spells.
  +
  +
Seeing that his allies would soon be exterminated, Horzinaku yelled to the prisoners to take the weapons of the fallen and use them against the enemy, thanks to Gorossauro, the rebels in the ground gained enough weapons for all melee fighters, while the ranged ones got the bows from the dead dragonriders, and the spellcasters kept casting their spells.
  +
  +
After defeating the dragonriders, Horzinaku and Guénon -alongside his tamed nether drake- demolished the prison's building and then focused their attacks on the Dragonmaw shaman.
  +
  +
From that moment on, the Dragonmaw casualties only increased, and after they lost over 65% of their manpower, Zuluhed sounded the retreat from where he was. Knowing that that retreat wouldn't last for long, the prisoners escaped Dragonmaw Fortress to the [[Magma Fields]].
  +
  +
There, each group followed their destiny, Brazon and his elves returned to the [[Netherstorm]] while Bagul'ete and his Broken went to [[Nagrand]] to seek a new place to live -in the months that followed, Bagul'ete and his group abandoned the Murkblood and joined the [[Kurenai]]-. The nether drake that joined Guénon in the middle of the battle decided to return to this people, the [[Netherwing dragonflight]].
  +
  +
Zuluhed decided to abandon his project and the prison was never rebuilt.
  +
  +
===== Rescue on the Ledge =====
  +
  +
Horzinaku asked a small favor for Guénon, the [[Dragonmaw Clan]] had imprisioned his mate at [[Netherwing Ledge]], a Veridian Netherwing Drake named Yoza, deep inside the Netherwing Mines, and said that Guénon would be well rewarded if he saved her.
  +
Guénon was so grateful for Horzinaku uniting the prisoners and making the escape possible, that he quickly accepted, but he recognized that he would not be able to do this alone, so he asked Horzinaku to bring aerial support for the assault.
  +
  +
Guénon and Horzinaku spent exactly three months, recruiting netherwing drakes and adventurers from the Horde, and preparing the plans for the battle, once all preparations were set, the assault team met near the [[Black Temple]], Guénon and Gorossauro hopped on Horzinaku's back and they launched their assault at the Netherwing Ledge.
  +
  +
The drake's aerial attacks were enough to distract the Dragonmaw forces outside the mines, while the Horde adventurers landed to give some casualties to the enemy, Guénon and Gorossauro entered the mines to save Yoza themselves.
  +
Inside, Guénon met more Murkblood Broken, they asked the troll what was going on and Guénon explained the situation, the Murkblood miners made an alliance with the Netherwing dragonflight in order to get rid of the Dragonmaw thus they started a riot and fough their foremen, some Broken -already insane because of so much work- even left the mines to do battle with the Dragonmaw.
  +
  +
Guénon and Gorossauro found Yoza at the heart of the mines, they were about to remove the last of her chains when they were interrupted by a [[Dragonmaw Skybreaker]], he was supposed to ride Yoza once she was properly subjugated.
  +
After a brutal fight, the [[Fel Orc]] was defeated and Yoza was free, she then flew outside the mines with Guénon and his pet raptor on her back.
  +
  +
After seeing Yoza, Horzinaku ordered his forces to retreat, the Horde adventurers hopped on the back of the Netherwing drakes, whereas the unfortunate Murkblood were defeated, with the survivors enslaved once again. Guénon, Gorossauro, Horzinaku and Yoza flew to [[Shattrath City]], where the draconic couple could live in peace as refugees.
  +
Horzinaku thanked Guénon a lot and gave him [[Sen'jin Beakblade Longrifle]], which he found in the corpse of one of the Horde adventurers that died in the conflict.
  +
  +
The gun was extremely powerful and Guénon was pleased, he then started looking for members of the Horde at [[Terokkar Forest]], he eventually stumbled upon [[Stonebreaker Hold]] and was then directed to [[Shadowmoon Village]], where he stood to do battle against the demons of the Burning Legion and the Illidari.
  +
  +
Guénon returned to Azeroth after the fall of the [[Black Temple]].
  +
  +
=== Wrath of the Lich King ===
  +
{{Wotlk-section}}
  +
Several years later, the [[Lich King]] returned and the [[Scourge]] started to wreak havoc on all [[Azeroth]], and by the same time, Guénon concluded his training and was now ready to enter the fray against Arthas' undead legions.
  +
  +
==== Arrival in Northrend ====
  +
  +
Guénon arrived at the [[Warsong Hold]] in [[Borean Tundra]], there, he started to make his name inside the forces under [[Garrosh Hellscream]] by fighting off the [[nerubian]]s that tried to invade the stronghold.
  +
  +
===== The Ravenous Jormungar =====
  +
  +
Guénon was sent to the [[Storm Peaks]] to deliver a message from Hellscream to the [[goblin]]s at [[K3]], but in the way to the base camp he got lost from his pet raptor because of a sudden snowstorm. Guénon said to himself that he couldn't go to Camp Taunka'lo without his Gorossauro. After three days of search he managed to find some raptor footprints on the snow, those footprints led him to the [[Hibernal Cavern]], where a small war between Ravenous Jormungars and Icemaw Bears ensued.
  +
Gorossauro's presence was somehow accepted by the Jormungars and the raptor decided to entered the fray on their side, Guénon did the same in order to save his lost friend, indirectly contributing with the problems the [[Hyldnir]] [[frost vrykul]] were having with acquiring mounts.
  +
  +
After the battle, most Icemaw were decimated, and Guénon was grateful for the Jormungar having accepted Gorossauro in their cave, and was ready to leave when he found out that one of them was follow him ever since his arrival.
  +
  +
Guénon named the Jormungar as Gorescream and she became his second companion.
  +
  +
=====Borean Terror: Kel'Thuzad=====
  +
''To fully comprehend the rest of Guénon's story, see:[[User:Mig64/Borean Terror|Borean Terror]]''
  +
  +
Guénon and other adventurers from the Horde received information that Kel'Thuzad was assembling a huge Scourge army at Borean Tundra, to prevent this, they united themselves under the troll hunter's leadership, after hiring some volunteers, such as the servants of the Barov Family from the Eastern Kingdoms -Alexi Barov was in debt with Guénon- and some Timbermaw Furbolgs, a militia force was created, which Guénon personally called Guénon's Forces.
  +
  +
After weeks of preparations in secret, they launched their attack against the Scourge army in Borean Tundra. This conflict was a massacre, and Guénon's Forces were utterly destroyed in the end, most of their members turned into mindless [[zombie]]s of the Scourge.
  +
  +
Even with the surprise backup from the Netherwing couple Horzinaku and Yoza, Kel'Thuzad emerged victorious, and Horzinaku was killed and then consumed by the risen members of Guénon's Forces.
  +
  +
At Warsong Hold, Guénon refounded the Guénon's Forces alongside Yoza, Kredo the Ghost Furbolg Shaman, Gorossauro and Gorescream.
  +
  +
==== Rise the Goroscream ====
  +
  +
Guénon refounded Guénon's Forces with a single purpose: to better serve the Horde in a independent way and to bring those who suffered around Azeroth a new home and life within the Horde. Thus, Guénon set out in a journey around all of Azeroth, seeking members to recruit.
  +
  +
At [[Stranglethorn Vale]], Guénon met several [[jungle troll]]s who were exiled from their tribes and were now living a precarious life, among them the [[warlock]] [[User:Mig64/Bonehook|Bonehook]]. Meanwhile, the [[Nexus War]] started, his militia wasn't ready to join the war at Northrend but Guénon didn't want it to stay passive, thus he sent Bonehook to represent the group there.
  +
  +
During his trips across [[Lordaeron]] Guénon stumbled upon a considerable-sized group of [[Forest troll]]s, these forest trolls were expelled from the [[Amani tribe]] many years ago and now lived together so that they can survive, among them was the [[rogue]] [[User:Mig64/Jo'ao|Jo'ao]].
  +
  +
At [[Tirisfal Glades]], Guénon gained financial support from [[Alexi Barov]], who gave him money and servants to build the faction's stronghold, and thus, in no time the stronghold was built somewhere in the Western Plaguelands, Guénon named it Goroscream Hold.
  +
  +
Guénon attempted to recruit the [[Dreadmaul tribe]] into his forces, but failed, however, he found a [[Fel Orc]] walking around the [[Blasted Lands]], Guénon prepared to attack him but he said he was a mercenary, this [[fel orc]] [[mercenary]] was [[User:Mig64/Kortoh Stripribs|Kortoh Stripribs]], now no longer a member of the Dragonmaw Clan. Neither Guénon nor Kortoh remembered each other -it was Kortoh who ambushed Guénon's captors and sent him to the prison of [[Dragonmaw Fortress]]- and thus the troll hunter hired his help, Kortoh was to train the warriors and rogues recruits of the militia. The news of Kortoh joining a Horde-aligned faction reached Outland, and many [[fel orc]]s who wanted to be accepted by his former brethen left the planet seeking the group that accepted Stripribs, they eventually found Guénon and the troll hunter accepted them, many Netherwing drakes were brought by those fel orcs that came from the [[Dragonmaw Clan]].
  +
  +
His forces grew much more than he expected, Guénon felt that it needed a more "professional" name, thus, he renamed it the Goroscream Forces.
  +
  +
After leaving a portion of their manpower at the Western Plaguelands to protect Goroscream Hold, the Goroscream Forces advanced to Northrend to join the [[War against the Lich King]].
  +
  +
====The Siege of Naxxramas====
  +
  +
Guénon heard that the [[Alliance]] was preparing to lay siege on Naxxramas, while the [[Horde]] was ready to attack [[Azjol-Nerub]].
  +
Although the Goroscream was to aid the Horde, Guénon wished to help the Alliance, so that he could have his revenge against Kel'Thuzad.
  +
To grant Goroscream participation against Azjol-Nerub and attack Naxxramas, Guénon left Kredo in charge of the advance against Anub'arak at the main section of Azjol-Nerub and the Twilight's Hammer at the Old Kingdom, while he, Yoza, Gorossauro and Gorescream, attacked Naxxramas alongside the Alliance.
  +
  +
The adventurers from the Alliance -under the banner of the [[7th Legion]]- were almost ready to invade Naxxramas when Guénon landed with his small team, at first, a human priest, Marf Saintangel, rejected Guénon, stating that they had no time to lose with Horde "whelps".
  +
Guénon, although indignated, said that he was there to help and that he had important matters to settle with Kel'Thuzad.
  +
  +
After some time pondering, the Alliance accepted the troll and his companions in their ranks.
  +
Guénon and the Alliance adventurers attacked Naxxramas with energy, destroying quarter after quarter, until the path to Sapphiron's Lair was open.
  +
  +
Not even the [[frostwyrm]]'s might was able to stop the strength of the combined might of the adventurers, mainly Guénon's shots and Marf's magic, and the path to Kel'Thuzad was finally revealed.
  +
  +
The adventurers proceeded without interruptions, and were finally face-to-face with the Archlich, Guénon picked up his gun and pointed it to Kel'Thuzad. Yoza roared with anger, both her and the troll were ready to have their revenge against Kel.
  +
  +
Kel'Thuzad didn't even rememeber who Guénon or Yoza were, and laughed at them, Marf Saintangel started charging a [[Smite]] spell, but was frozen by the Archlich.
  +
  +
Kel'Thuzad attacked the whole raid with a [http://www.wowhead.com/spell=27810 Shadow Fissure], consuming half of the Alliance's forces in darkness and killing them, with exception of Marf, because he was inside an icy prison and was free because it was consumed by the fissure.
  +
Marf and Guénon started running around Kel's room and attacking him with everything they could, Gorossauro climbed on Kel'Thuzad's back and started slashing him, part of the Lich's corporeal form started to collapse because of Gorescream's Acid Spit and burn because of Yoza's flame.
  +
Meanwhile, the remaining Alliance adventurers hit Kel'Thuzad with all their weapons and spells.
  +
  +
This time, Kel'Thuzad was fighting an entire army by himself, with Guénon laughing at him for the Archlich was facing a similar situation the troll had back at Borean Tundra, Guénon's laugh angered Kel, and he unleashed a strong ice spell, which frozen every single soldier in his room.
  +
  +
Marf repelled the ice encasing with [[Power Word: Shield]] and dispelled the prisons at his partners as fast as he could. Kel'Thuzad, angered by the [[Priest]]'s persistence, pierced the human's chest with one of his chains, before dying, Marf dispelled Guénon's icy prison and used a mighty healing spell using his remaining forces, making Kel'Thuzad's freezing fury in vain.
  +
  +
The lich was angry and desperated, so he decided to raise every killed men into undead, he succeeded, in a matter of seconds, the Alliance had to fight their former "brothers" alongside the Scourge's Archlich.
  +
  +
Guénon and Yoza remembered when the members from Guénon's Forces were risen as undead and started consuming Horzinaku, these memories made both troll and drake enraged and stronger.
  +
Gorescream used her Acid Spit to corrode the icy prison encasing her, while Gorossauro destroyed his prison with his blood-hungry claws.
  +
  +
The battle proceeded, with the Alliance in disadvantage, every men killed represented one more Scourge zombie to fight.
  +
Guénon, used his [[Volley]] shot and destroyed a large group, Gorescream entangled the Scourge around her with her mighty body, while Gorossauro cut the zombies' bodies with a hit-and-run tactic.
  +
  +
Thinking that the party should end, Kel'Thuzad used another Shadow Fissure, this one killing every single member of the raid, Guénon, his friends and the Alliance adventurers met demise...if not for one thing:
  +
Marf's corpse woke up later than the others, now undead, he protected himself with another [[Power Word: Shield]] -blocking Kel'Thuzad's offensives against him- and revived as many Alliance soldiers as he could.
  +
Marf, although revived, wasn't under Kel'Thuzad's control, so he ressurected Guénon and escaped using a hearthstone before he fell to the lich's undead mind-controlling powers and became the raid's latest enemy.
  +
Guénon then ressurected his pets, but none of the risen soldiers were able to revive Yoza.
  +
  +
Feeling the pain of another loss to the Scourge, Guénon enraged even more, he began to put as many bombs and bullets as he could inside his gun, preparing the ultimate shot.
  +
Meanwhile, the Alliance and Guénon's pets started fighting Kel'Thuzad again, buying time for the troll hunter to prepare his attack.
  +
After considerable time, Guénon's gun was ready to shoot, so he fired the strongest [[Explosive Shot]] that anyone there has ever saw. All the bullets and explosives inserted were fired at the same time and the chain reaction of explosions that hit Kel'Thuzad was so strong, that his corporeal form was completely destroyed, he disappeared with a final cry of pain, vowing that the Lich King would present all those who fought him with their graves.
  +
  +
The battle was finally over, Guénon had his revenge, the Alliance defeated Kel'Thuzad.
  +
After giving a long hug in his pets and crying for such an important victory, Guénon proceeded to see Yoza's corpse...
  +
  +
The Alliance survivors, in retribution for Guénon's help, aided him in transporting her corpse to the [[Path of the Titans (subzone)|Path of the Titans]], where she was buried.
  +
  +
After a ceremony in her honor, a gnome gave Guénon a Flying Machine, so they could fly back to their base, and so they did.
  +
  +
Weeks later, a Scourge Expedition found Yoza's corpse and raised it's corporeal half as a [[Frost Wyrm]].
  +
  +
====The Fall of the Lich King====
  +
  +
The time for the final assault at [[Icecrown Citadel]] had come, and Guénon, using the Flying Machine given by the gnome, entered the fray with ground support of Gorossauro, Gorescream, Bonehook, Jo'ao and Kortoh Stripribs and the rest of the Goroscream soldiers and extra aerial assistance from the Goroscream fel orc dragonriders.
  +
  +
The battle proceeded intense, and the Scourge received aerial reinforcements from [[Frost Wyrm|Frost Wyrms]], one of them was Yoza. Yoza attacked the Alliance-Horde forces mercilessly and viciously, leading the frost dragons to great victories in small time.
  +
Yoza met Guénon once again, the troll and his former advisor engaged an intense aerial combat.
  +
  +
Guénon eventually won, hitting the frost wyrm in the head several times in a row, and she fell to the ground, the troll landed by her side, and left his Flying Machine, as he got near the wyrm's head, Yoza was dazed, lost in memories of her past life, with Horzinaku.
  +
  +
The troll got face-to-face to her, thinking she was dead, he put his hand on her skull-like head, stating that she was a powerful ally and that the Goroscream would never forget her.
  +
After feeling Guénon's warm hand on her head, Yoza remembered when Horzinaku and Guénon saved her from the Dragonmaw, and finally came to her senses, free of the Lich King's grasp.
  +
Yoza quickly flew high into the sky, with a powerful roar, she told the troll -in a death knight-like voice- that she was a fool of letting herself be turned into this, and then she came to the ground, saying that "Yoza was back into service".
  +
  +
Happy for having his advisor back, Guénon hopped on Yoza's back and Kortoh Stripribs took the Flying Machine, and both re-entered the fray, with the command of the ground units -and Guénon's pets- given to Kredo, while the aerial force fell under Yoza's leadership, with Kortoh Stripribs chosen to be her second-in-command. Guénon then ordered Jo'ao to lead a small party of Goroscream [[Hunter]]s and [[Rogue]]s to the [[Frozen Halls]] to serve under [[Sylvanas Windrunner]].
  +
  +
When the [[Ashen Verdict]] announced the beginning of their assault inside [[Icecrown Citadel]], Guénon ordered his men to stay outside and stop any kind of Scourge reinforcements.
  +
  +
Guénon, alongside many Alliance and Horde adventurers and [[Tirion Fordring]], was there during the final conflict against the Lich King at the [[Frozen Throne]].
  +
  +
The fight was intense, and when the battle went inside [[Frostmourne]] itself, Guénon wasn't there, after receiving a fatal blow, Guénon feigned his death as his troll regeneration healed him, thus, he avoided being sent into Frostmoure.
  +
When he had been enough healed, the troll tried to fight with the Lich King alone.
  +
  +
Guénon was pretty agile so Arthas took a long time to connect a single hit because of his heavy gear, as Guénon shot the Lich King with all his might, but eventually, the Lich King managed to cut his chest and kick him in the belly, quickly bringing the troll back to the ground, Guénon was knocked out and the Lich King executed him, but not in time to absorb his soul...
  +
  +
The adventurers managed to break free from Frostmourne just in time, proceeding with the fight. In the wake of Arthas' wrath, the Lich King killed all adventurers and prepared to raise them as champions of the Scourge. But Tirion managed to break free from his Icy Tomb, and shattered Frostmourne, reviving all the adventurers -including Guénon- with a [[Mass Resurrection]] spell. Guénon was back to life, enraged at Arthas, and took part in the combined final blow done simultaneously with the other adventurers with his signature [[Explosive Shot]].
  +
  +
Once the Lich King was defeated and after hearing [[Bolvar Fordragon]]'s warning, Guénon ran outside Icecrown Citadel to destroy the remaining Scourge with his Goroscream Forces.
  +
  +
====Zalazane's Fall====
  +
  +
As Guénon and his forces prepared to leave Northrend at [[Vengeance Landing]], Kredo found a poster talking about the recovery of the [[Echo Isles]]. The furbolg called his attention, and after analyzing the poster, flashes of his life as a barbarian troll at the isles came to his head. Mainly the day he had to leave the island because of [[Zalazane]]'s [[Hexed Troll|Hexed Trolls]]. Guénon was also in debt with the [[Darkspear Tribe]], after all, it was thanks to them that he met life-in-society, so the troll strongly felt he needed to participate in that battle.
  +
  +
Guénon took Gorossauro and ordered Kredo and Yoza to watch over Goroscream Hold while he didn't return.
  +
  +
When the battle was finally over, Guénon helped the Darkspear in building their new home at the Echo Isles, and left.
  +

  +
  +
====The Fall of Goroscream====
  +
  +
After the fall of the [[Zalazane]], Guénon returned to Goroscream Hold at [[Western Plaguelands]]. Once he received news that the [[Horde]] had a new warchief, the troll travelled to [[Orgrimmar]] to see what plans [[Garrosh Hellscream]] had for the faction. Though neither Guénon nor Garrosh saw each other during the troll's stay at the Orcish capital, Guénon found out that Hellscream had expansionist plans for the Horde.
  +
  +
With this in mind, Guénon devised a plan to ensure Horde domination at northern [[Eastern Kingdoms]], so he could gain Garrosh's support so that the warchief wouldn't interneve in the Goroscream's exisence, the same way the troll did with Thrall (but with other manners).
  +
  +
The Goroscream advanced and claimed the Alliance-Argent Crusade base of [[Chillwind Camp]] for the Horde, later, he gave reinforcements for the Forsaken assaulting Southshore, and conquered several other Alliance bases.
  +
  +
The Alliance soon heard about it and prepared a counteroffensive, since those "Horde" attacks didn't have Hellscream's authorization, the warchief sent Eitrigg and Horde agents to aid the Alliance Counteroffensive, and thus, the [[User:Mig64/Goroscream Wars|Goroscream Wars]] started. The Alliance's counterattack was massive and the Goroscream Forces met several defeats and the battle was taken to Goroscream Hold. The Goroscream Forces resisted valiantly against the Alliance but they were utterly destroyed, Yoza died, Gorescream died, [[User:Mig64/Kortoh Stripribs|Kortoh]] was sent to the [[Stormwind Stockades]]...the only survivors were Guénon and Gorossauro, the troll almost collapsed when he saw what had become of his militia, but Kredo's words managed to calm him down a bit and give him a new mission: to join the ranks of the [[Darkspear Trolls]] and help [[Vol'jin]] in preventing the Horde from collapsing thanks for the tension risen by Garrosh.
  +
With Gorossauro in his arms, Guénon departed for his new journey, and Kredo finally managed to rest in peace, going to the [[Spirit World]].
  +
  +
====Return to the Horde====
  +
  +
The Horde Agents left the Alliance Counteroffensive before they could reach Goroscream Hold, so Guénon was unaware that his own warchief gave support to his militia's demise, this made him accept his new journey. Since he covered his face with a [[Snowserpent Mail Helm]] during the Goroscream Showdown, there was no way to recognize him without the helmet.
  +
  +
The troll hunter and his Bloodtalon Raptor made their first stop at [[Orgrimmar]], he saluted the Warchief at [[Grommash Hold]] and pledged his services to the Horde, only to be driven out by the [[Kor'kron Guard|Kor'kron Elite Guard]] under Hellscream's orders, because he was a troll. Angry at his new warchief and not believing that he fought so hard in an allout war to please "a bastard Brown Abomination", Guénon and Gorossauro went directly to the [[Sen'jin Village]], he was greeted by [[Zjolnir]], the only one who remembered him. After spending some time talking about a part of his adventures to Zjolnir, both trolls went to the [[Echo Isles]], so Guénon could formally introduce himself to [[Vol'jin]]. The Shadow Hunter distrusted Guénon at first for he thought he came from nowhere and couldn't remember him as a Darkspear troll, but Zjolnir told the Darkspear chieftain how he found Guénon in the day of Zalazane's revolt.
  +
  +
Vol'jin felt pity of Guénon for all he passed in that time and praised Zjolnir for what he did, the troll chieftain quickly remembered the day that Guénon brought some of his Goroscream to help the Darkspear Trolls during Zalazane's Fall, and as a mean to give his thanks to the hunter, Vol'jin accepted Guénon as an official member of the Darkspear tribe, even giving him a new outfit and a bow for him to use during the battles to come.
  +
  +
====Rise of the Zandalari====
  +
  +
Guénon made a name for himself among the Horde -mainly among the Darkspear Trolls-, and received an invitation from Vol'jin himself to join the fight against the [[Amani tribe|Amani]]-[[Zandalar tribe|Zandalar]] Alliance at [[Zul'Aman]], to prevent [[King Rastakhan]] from building a new troll empire.
  +
Guénon, of course, accepted the invitation and joined forces with his chieftain and his allies.
  +
  +
After the second fall of Zul'Aman, Guénon returned to Orgrimmar and dedicated himself to fight the [[Twilight's Hammer]] and the rest of [[Deathwing]]'s minions.
  +
  +
====Rage of the Firelands====
  +
  +
Guénon played a minor role in the war against the Elemental Lord [[Ragnaros]], the troll and his faithful raptor became part of a Horde task force led by the [[Guardians of Hyjal]] to fight the minions of the Firelord who were still at [[Mount Hyjal]].
  +
  +
====Hour of Twilight====
  +
  +
Guénon took part in the final battle against [[Deathwing]] and his minions by defending [[Wyrmrest Temple]] from the attacks of the [[Old Gods' forces]].
  +
  +
Guénon and Gorossauro fought fiercely against the unending waves of [[Faceless one]]s and [[Twilight's Hammer|twilight cultists]] who tried to lay siege to the temple, there was a moment however, in which Guénon thought he was going to lose his life - he was disarmed by a twilight [[rogue]] and paralized alongside Gorossauro by the magic of another cultist, but in the last second, he was enveloped by a [[Power Word: Shield]] spell and healed from all his wounds, with the cultist pair being quickly obliterated by three waves of [[Holy Nova]]. The troll had his life saved by no other than [[Archbishop Benedictus]] from the [[Church of the Holy Light]].
  +
  +
Benedictus said that he was there to help the [[Dragon Aspects]] in their battle against Deathwing, and that he was ordered to create a small defense force under his leadership, and attempted to recruit Guénon. Guénon, feeling in debt for having his life saved, gladly joined Benedictus' defense team, composed of about sixteen adventurers -eight from the Alliance, and eight from the Horde-.
  +
  +
The group's strength was formidable, they even managed to successfully open a hole in a huge wave of minions of the Old Gods and went somewhere near to the entrance of the maw of [[Shu'ma]], a powerful [[Forgotten One]]. They were prepared to bring a great victory for the proud defenders of [[Azeroth]], but it was all a trap...Benedictus revealed himself as the [[Twilight Father]] and rooted the group with Void tendrils. The former archbishop said that it was his plan to bring together all those "powerful heroes" so that he could kill them all at once.
  +
Guénon was enraged with the human, and yelled at him, Guénon asked why didn't Benedictus let him die before, Benedictus said that he had to be convincing and that Guénon's example served as the greatest reason for the other accessions after his.
  +
  +
The Twilight Father started channeling a massive [[Shadow]] spell as many lesser [[Faceless one]]s and [[tentacle]]s started to surround the rooted group. Gorossauro, nervous and infuriated because of his imminent death, entered a killing frenzy, and with his teeth and claw he managed to cut down the tendrils which trapped him, quickly freeing Guénon afterwards.
  +
  +
In a flash, Guénon was with his bow in hands and Gorossauro on his shoulders, before Benedictus could take any action he was shot by Guénon's [[Silencing Shot]], interrupting his channeling and preventing from using any other kind of spells for a small period of time. Surprised by the troll's actions, the Faceless ones quickly charged against the adventurers, who broke free from their Void tendrils since Benedictus' magical powers were temporarily cut off.
  +
  +
The heroes quickly organized themselves and even considered killing the Twilight Father, but they were vastly outnumbered, there were too many beasts for them to face, they decided to retreat by opening a hole in the wall of Faceless ones and tentacles that surrounded them. Guénon and his comrades escaped from the Twilight's Hammer, retaking the base of [[Wyrmrest Temple]] from the Old Gods' ground forces.
  +
  +
They were, however, unaware that the Twilight Father had reassumed his identity as Archbishop Benedictus and successfully seized control over the [[Chamber of the Aspects]], underneath the temple itself.
  +
  +
The Twilight Father would only lose his grasp over the chamber after Thrall's arrival and the human's eventual death at the hands of the World Shaman and other adventurers.
  +
  +
After the obliteration of all of Deathwing's forces at [[Dragonblight]], Guénon remained alongside a huge contingent of adventurers, soldiers and drakes to ensure the security of Wyrmrest.
  +
  +
Guénon did take no part in the direct conflicts with Deathwing himself.

History

Classic

WoW Icon update This section concerns content related to the original World of Warcraft.

Guénon's birthplace is unknown, he was found by a female shaman in the middle of the wilds of Echo Isles, as the Darkspear Trolls evacuated from the island during Zalazane's revolt. He seemed to be extremely young for troll standards -around 19 years old- and was extremely wild, his aggressive nature made the woman leave him behind. Guénon didn't know how to speak neither Orcish nor Zandali, and it also seemed that his only friend was a Bloodtalon Raptor. Guénon fought against some of the Hexed Trolls but their Voodoo scared him off the island alongside his raptor companion.

Upon arriving at Durotar's shore, he was found by Zjolnir, the raptor handler of the recently founded Sen'jin Village, Guénon seemed aggressive to the other troll but he quickly calmed down as he found out that Zjolnir wasn't there to cause any harm both to him and Gorossauro.

Zjolnir felt pity of Guénon, and decided to take him to Sen'jin Village, there, Guénon learned to socialize and speak, something he did very quickly. Now Guénon had a decent set of clothes, his tusks were arranged, he also became capable of speaking Zandali and Orcish -even though he speaks in a more rudimentary version of the default troll accent-.

The life of Guénon and his raptor got a lot better since those days and as a retribution, the jungle troll pledged his services to the Darkspear tribe, even though he was not official member. He trained several years alongside Gorossauro in the ways of the Hunter, a path that fits his link with the beasts of the wild.

After months of unstoppable training, Guénon became a crafty ranged fighter.

Guénon did nothing aside from playing minor roles in the events toward the Classic World of Warcraft. But it was during this time that Guénon befriended the furbolgs from Timbermaw Hold and gave aid to the Forsaken House of Barov, making Alexi Barov with such a huge debt to the troll hunter that he would only be able pay years later.

The Burning Crusade

Bc icon This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

Guénon was back to Orgrimmar from a mission at Tanaris and decided to stop by the inn, there, he saw a group of four orcs talking about demons spawning from the Dark Portal.

Guénon learned much about the history of the Horde and the hearing the words "Dark Portal" being said to reference a modern event called his attention. The troll interrupted the orcs' conversation, asking what was happening at the Dark Portal, only to hear a whole collection of insults never said before.

Gamon, a tauren who suffered serious bullying from almost every adventurer that passed in Orgrimmar, decided to lend a hand to the troll hunter, and explained him what was happening at the Blasted Lands. After thanking Gamon, Guénon decided that he and Gorossauro should join the fight against the hordes of demons. By taking a portal to Stonard after bribing a mage, Guénon stole a wolf mount and -with his raptor on his shoulders- ran as fast as he could to the Dark Portal.

Captured!

After a long and exhaustive battle, the demons were pushed back and the battle was taken to the Stair of Destiny at Outland. In a moment of the conflict, Guénon and Gorossauro were captured by a trio of Felguards and both were sent to the Pit Commander, the Annihilan decided that they should be sent to Tempest Keep so they could be used as a bargain if a dire future took place.

But the demons that were bringing Guénon and Gorossauro to the keep didn't even manage to leave Hellfire Penninsula, they were killed in an ambush coordinated by a small Illidari group. Kortoh Stripribs, who was the group's leader, ordered the naga of the team to warn Illidan Stormrage that Outland was being assaulted by creatures from Azeroth as the rest of the group took them as prisoners to Dragonmaw Fortress.

At the stronghold, Guénon met many other prisoners, among them were many Kael'thas-loyal blood elves, rebel Murkblood broken miners, and a suspicious high elf that recently arrived. Guénon asked what was that prison for, why wasn't he and his newfound prison mates killed, the situation was made clear by Bagul'ete, the leader of the imprisoned Broken.

Bagul'ete told Guénon that Zuluhed the Whacked had developed a method of making the netherwing drakes easier to tame, this method consisted of taking the newborn dragon whelps and give prisoners for them to fight against, this way they would follow a path of bloodlust and would see the races of the prisoners as enemies -after their constant attempts to kill these whelps-. This way, only the strongest whelps would survive and the Dragonmaw would have the fiercest air force of all Outland. Zuluhed was just waiting for the number of prisoners increase until his desired quantity to set the plan into motion.

Guénon said that he wouldn't be sacrificed and that something should be done about it, he proposed that all prisoners united under a single purpose and started a rebellion. Bagul'ete said that several attempts were made before and they all failed, but Brazon Silverstar -the leader of the imprisoned blood elves- quickly replied, saying that the rebellions were never unified, the blood elves were allies of the Burning Legion because of Kael'thas, and the Murkblood refused to work alongside the followers of their race's corruptors. In his thoughts, Guénon was surprised to know that he would have to work alongside his enemies, but he accepted it.

This time, the Broken and Blood Elf leaders were so enraged with the Illidari -mainly the Dragonmaw Clan- that they would accept any alliance to achieve freedom, but they still refused to be led by one of their former enemies. Guénon was always a soldier, he never led anything, and wasn't willing to learn it because failures to do so would bring harsh consequences, thus, he didn't even offer himself to lead the rebellion, instead he tried to convince both to work together for freedom, Guénon tried for several weeks, but it was all in vain.

Seeing that the troll had no success, the high elf revealed himself as the nether drake Horzinaku, he was ordered by the Netherwing Patriarch to disguise himself as a humanoid only to be imprisoned by the fel orcs and lead a massive but organized rebellion, the Patriarch was well aware of the previous riots and he considered that a successful rebellion would be of great help in the Netherwing's struggle against the Dragonmaw Clan. Horzinaku offered himself to lead the prisoners in their fight against the orcish marauders, Bagul'ete and Brazon Silverstar accepted, stating that having a powerful draconic beast leading them would assure the rebels true victory.

Dragonmaw Prison Break

Horzinaku reverted to his original form and blasted the prison's gates, once Zuluhed saw the smoke coming from the prison building, he sounded an alarm and the Dragonmaw dragonriders quickly surrounded the prison building from the sky, and a wall of shamans surrounded it in the ground.

Horzinaku said that there was no way that he could lead this assault alone, and ordered Bagul'ete and Brazon to work together as equals, each one leading their own people, for the nether drake would have to fight the whole Dragonmaw aerial force while the Blood Elves and Broken fought from the ground.

Using pieces of stone and mining picks as weapons, the prisoners roared in fury and charged against their captors, Guénon jumped on Horzinaku's back, yelling that he would help the drake in taking down the dragonriders, as Gorossauro fought alongside the other prisoners in the ground.

Having to constantly dodge unending waves of arrows from and fireballs, Horzinaku raged against his own subjugated brethen, bringing them and their masters down without mercy, Guénon had no weapon -he was disarmed when he was captured-, and to equip himself he had to jump to the back of another netherwing drake, after dealing with the drake's fel rider with punches and kicks, Guénon stole the dragonrider's bow and made him fall to his death, the drake that Guénon assaulted accepted the troll his new master.

Now equipped with a bow full of enchaced arrows and having two netherwing drakes by his side, Guénon dominated the Dragonmaw forces in the sky, while shooting a few Dragonmaw heads on the ground.

While the rebels managed to put up a fight in the sky, the prisoners of the ground were having difficulties, terribly undergeared in comparison to their captors, Bagul'ete and Brazon could rely only on the few spellcasters present in the group -including themselves, Bagul'ete was an Warlock whereas Brazon was Shadow priest-. Gorossauro was the only one who was being able to bring casualties for the enemy by using a hit-and-run tactic against them, slicing one of the shamans in the back and subsenquently subjulgating another and using him as a meat shield against the other shaman's spells.

Seeing that his allies would soon be exterminated, Horzinaku yelled to the prisoners to take the weapons of the fallen and use them against the enemy, thanks to Gorossauro, the rebels in the ground gained enough weapons for all melee fighters, while the ranged ones got the bows from the dead dragonriders, and the spellcasters kept casting their spells.

After defeating the dragonriders, Horzinaku and Guénon -alongside his tamed nether drake- demolished the prison's building and then focused their attacks on the Dragonmaw shaman.

From that moment on, the Dragonmaw casualties only increased, and after they lost over 65% of their manpower, Zuluhed sounded the retreat from where he was. Knowing that that retreat wouldn't last for long, the prisoners escaped Dragonmaw Fortress to the Magma Fields.

There, each group followed their destiny, Brazon and his elves returned to the Netherstorm while Bagul'ete and his Broken went to Nagrand to seek a new place to live -in the months that followed, Bagul'ete and his group abandoned the Murkblood and joined the Kurenai-. The nether drake that joined Guénon in the middle of the battle decided to return to this people, the Netherwing dragonflight.

Zuluhed decided to abandon his project and the prison was never rebuilt.

Rescue on the Ledge

Horzinaku asked a small favor for Guénon, the Dragonmaw Clan had imprisioned his mate at Netherwing Ledge, a Veridian Netherwing Drake named Yoza, deep inside the Netherwing Mines, and said that Guénon would be well rewarded if he saved her. Guénon was so grateful for Horzinaku uniting the prisoners and making the escape possible, that he quickly accepted, but he recognized that he would not be able to do this alone, so he asked Horzinaku to bring aerial support for the assault.

Guénon and Horzinaku spent exactly three months, recruiting netherwing drakes and adventurers from the Horde, and preparing the plans for the battle, once all preparations were set, the assault team met near the Black Temple, Guénon and Gorossauro hopped on Horzinaku's back and they launched their assault at the Netherwing Ledge.

The drake's aerial attacks were enough to distract the Dragonmaw forces outside the mines, while the Horde adventurers landed to give some casualties to the enemy, Guénon and Gorossauro entered the mines to save Yoza themselves. Inside, Guénon met more Murkblood Broken, they asked the troll what was going on and Guénon explained the situation, the Murkblood miners made an alliance with the Netherwing dragonflight in order to get rid of the Dragonmaw thus they started a riot and fough their foremen, some Broken -already insane because of so much work- even left the mines to do battle with the Dragonmaw.

Guénon and Gorossauro found Yoza at the heart of the mines, they were about to remove the last of her chains when they were interrupted by a Dragonmaw Skybreaker, he was supposed to ride Yoza once she was properly subjugated. After a brutal fight, the Fel Orc was defeated and Yoza was free, she then flew outside the mines with Guénon and his pet raptor on her back.

After seeing Yoza, Horzinaku ordered his forces to retreat, the Horde adventurers hopped on the back of the Netherwing drakes, whereas the unfortunate Murkblood were defeated, with the survivors enslaved once again. Guénon, Gorossauro, Horzinaku and Yoza flew to Shattrath City, where the draconic couple could live in peace as refugees. Horzinaku thanked Guénon a lot and gave him Inv weapon rifle 34 [Sen'jin Beakblade Longrifle], which he found in the corpse of one of the Horde adventurers that died in the conflict.

The gun was extremely powerful and Guénon was pleased, he then started looking for members of the Horde at Terokkar Forest, he eventually stumbled upon Stonebreaker Hold and was then directed to Shadowmoon Village, where he stood to do battle against the demons of the Burning Legion and the Illidari.

Guénon returned to Azeroth after the fall of the Black Temple.

Wrath of the Lich King

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

Several years later, the Lich King returned and the Scourge started to wreak havoc on all Azeroth, and by the same time, Guénon concluded his training and was now ready to enter the fray against Arthas' undead legions.

Arrival in Northrend

Guénon arrived at the Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, there, he started to make his name inside the forces under Garrosh Hellscream by fighting off the nerubians that tried to invade the stronghold.

The Ravenous Jormungar

Guénon was sent to the Storm Peaks to deliver a message from Hellscream to the goblins at K3, but in the way to the base camp he got lost from his pet raptor because of a sudden snowstorm. Guénon said to himself that he couldn't go to Camp Taunka'lo without his Gorossauro. After three days of search he managed to find some raptor footprints on the snow, those footprints led him to the Hibernal Cavern, where a small war between Ravenous Jormungars and Icemaw Bears ensued. Gorossauro's presence was somehow accepted by the Jormungars and the raptor decided to entered the fray on their side, Guénon did the same in order to save his lost friend, indirectly contributing with the problems the Hyldnir frost vrykul were having with acquiring mounts.

After the battle, most Icemaw were decimated, and Guénon was grateful for the Jormungar having accepted Gorossauro in their cave, and was ready to leave when he found out that one of them was follow him ever since his arrival.

Guénon named the Jormungar as Gorescream and she became his second companion.

Borean Terror: Kel'Thuzad

To fully comprehend the rest of Guénon's story, see:Borean Terror

Guénon and other adventurers from the Horde received information that Kel'Thuzad was assembling a huge Scourge army at Borean Tundra, to prevent this, they united themselves under the troll hunter's leadership, after hiring some volunteers, such as the servants of the Barov Family from the Eastern Kingdoms -Alexi Barov was in debt with Guénon- and some Timbermaw Furbolgs, a militia force was created, which Guénon personally called Guénon's Forces.

After weeks of preparations in secret, they launched their attack against the Scourge army in Borean Tundra. This conflict was a massacre, and Guénon's Forces were utterly destroyed in the end, most of their members turned into mindless zombies of the Scourge.

Even with the surprise backup from the Netherwing couple Horzinaku and Yoza, Kel'Thuzad emerged victorious, and Horzinaku was killed and then consumed by the risen members of Guénon's Forces.

At Warsong Hold, Guénon refounded the Guénon's Forces alongside Yoza, Kredo the Ghost Furbolg Shaman, Gorossauro and Gorescream.

Rise the Goroscream

Guénon refounded Guénon's Forces with a single purpose: to better serve the Horde in a independent way and to bring those who suffered around Azeroth a new home and life within the Horde. Thus, Guénon set out in a journey around all of Azeroth, seeking members to recruit.

At Stranglethorn Vale, Guénon met several jungle trolls who were exiled from their tribes and were now living a precarious life, among them the warlock Bonehook. Meanwhile, the Nexus War started, his militia wasn't ready to join the war at Northrend but Guénon didn't want it to stay passive, thus he sent Bonehook to represent the group there.

During his trips across Lordaeron Guénon stumbled upon a considerable-sized group of Forest trolls, these forest trolls were expelled from the Amani tribe many years ago and now lived together so that they can survive, among them was the rogue Jo'ao.

At Tirisfal Glades, Guénon gained financial support from Alexi Barov, who gave him money and servants to build the faction's stronghold, and thus, in no time the stronghold was built somewhere in the Western Plaguelands, Guénon named it Goroscream Hold.

Guénon attempted to recruit the Dreadmaul tribe into his forces, but failed, however, he found a Fel Orc walking around the Blasted Lands, Guénon prepared to attack him but he said he was a mercenary, this fel orc mercenary was Kortoh Stripribs, now no longer a member of the Dragonmaw Clan. Neither Guénon nor Kortoh remembered each other -it was Kortoh who ambushed Guénon's captors and sent him to the prison of Dragonmaw Fortress- and thus the troll hunter hired his help, Kortoh was to train the warriors and rogues recruits of the militia. The news of Kortoh joining a Horde-aligned faction reached Outland, and many fel orcs who wanted to be accepted by his former brethen left the planet seeking the group that accepted Stripribs, they eventually found Guénon and the troll hunter accepted them, many Netherwing drakes were brought by those fel orcs that came from the Dragonmaw Clan.

His forces grew much more than he expected, Guénon felt that it needed a more "professional" name, thus, he renamed it the Goroscream Forces.

After leaving a portion of their manpower at the Western Plaguelands to protect Goroscream Hold, the Goroscream Forces advanced to Northrend to join the War against the Lich King.

The Siege of Naxxramas

Guénon heard that the Alliance was preparing to lay siege on Naxxramas, while the Horde was ready to attack Azjol-Nerub. Although the Goroscream was to aid the Horde, Guénon wished to help the Alliance, so that he could have his revenge against Kel'Thuzad. To grant Goroscream participation against Azjol-Nerub and attack Naxxramas, Guénon left Kredo in charge of the advance against Anub'arak at the main section of Azjol-Nerub and the Twilight's Hammer at the Old Kingdom, while he, Yoza, Gorossauro and Gorescream, attacked Naxxramas alongside the Alliance.

The adventurers from the Alliance -under the banner of the 7th Legion- were almost ready to invade Naxxramas when Guénon landed with his small team, at first, a human priest, Marf Saintangel, rejected Guénon, stating that they had no time to lose with Horde "whelps". Guénon, although indignated, said that he was there to help and that he had important matters to settle with Kel'Thuzad.

After some time pondering, the Alliance accepted the troll and his companions in their ranks. Guénon and the Alliance adventurers attacked Naxxramas with energy, destroying quarter after quarter, until the path to Sapphiron's Lair was open.

Not even the frostwyrm's might was able to stop the strength of the combined might of the adventurers, mainly Guénon's shots and Marf's magic, and the path to Kel'Thuzad was finally revealed.

The adventurers proceeded without interruptions, and were finally face-to-face with the Archlich, Guénon picked up his gun and pointed it to Kel'Thuzad. Yoza roared with anger, both her and the troll were ready to have their revenge against Kel.

Kel'Thuzad didn't even rememeber who Guénon or Yoza were, and laughed at them, Marf Saintangel started charging a Spell holy holysmite [Smite] spell, but was frozen by the Archlich.

Kel'Thuzad attacked the whole raid with a Shadow Fissure, consuming half of the Alliance's forces in darkness and killing them, with exception of Marf, because he was inside an icy prison and was free because it was consumed by the fissure. Marf and Guénon started running around Kel's room and attacking him with everything they could, Gorossauro climbed on Kel'Thuzad's back and started slashing him, part of the Lich's corporeal form started to collapse because of Gorescream's Acid Spit and burn because of Yoza's flame. Meanwhile, the remaining Alliance adventurers hit Kel'Thuzad with all their weapons and spells.

This time, Kel'Thuzad was fighting an entire army by himself, with Guénon laughing at him for the Archlich was facing a similar situation the troll had back at Borean Tundra, Guénon's laugh angered Kel, and he unleashed a strong ice spell, which frozen every single soldier in his room.

Marf repelled the ice encasing with Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] and dispelled the prisons at his partners as fast as he could. Kel'Thuzad, angered by the Priest's persistence, pierced the human's chest with one of his chains, before dying, Marf dispelled Guénon's icy prison and used a mighty healing spell using his remaining forces, making Kel'Thuzad's freezing fury in vain.

The lich was angry and desperated, so he decided to raise every killed men into undead, he succeeded, in a matter of seconds, the Alliance had to fight their former "brothers" alongside the Scourge's Archlich.

Guénon and Yoza remembered when the members from Guénon's Forces were risen as undead and started consuming Horzinaku, these memories made both troll and drake enraged and stronger. Gorescream used her Acid Spit to corrode the icy prison encasing her, while Gorossauro destroyed his prison with his blood-hungry claws.

The battle proceeded, with the Alliance in disadvantage, every men killed represented one more Scourge zombie to fight. Guénon, used his Ability hunter rapidkilling [Volley] shot and destroyed a large group, Gorescream entangled the Scourge around her with her mighty body, while Gorossauro cut the zombies' bodies with a hit-and-run tactic.

Thinking that the party should end, Kel'Thuzad used another Shadow Fissure, this one killing every single member of the raid, Guénon, his friends and the Alliance adventurers met demise...if not for one thing: Marf's corpse woke up later than the others, now undead, he protected himself with another Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] -blocking Kel'Thuzad's offensives against him- and revived as many Alliance soldiers as he could. Marf, although revived, wasn't under Kel'Thuzad's control, so he ressurected Guénon and escaped using a hearthstone before he fell to the lich's undead mind-controlling powers and became the raid's latest enemy. Guénon then ressurected his pets, but none of the risen soldiers were able to revive Yoza.

Feeling the pain of another loss to the Scourge, Guénon enraged even more, he began to put as many bombs and bullets as he could inside his gun, preparing the ultimate shot. Meanwhile, the Alliance and Guénon's pets started fighting Kel'Thuzad again, buying time for the troll hunter to prepare his attack. After considerable time, Guénon's gun was ready to shoot, so he fired the strongest Ability hunter explosiveshot [Explosive Shot] that anyone there has ever saw. All the bullets and explosives inserted were fired at the same time and the chain reaction of explosions that hit Kel'Thuzad was so strong, that his corporeal form was completely destroyed, he disappeared with a final cry of pain, vowing that the Lich King would present all those who fought him with their graves.

The battle was finally over, Guénon had his revenge, the Alliance defeated Kel'Thuzad. After giving a long hug in his pets and crying for such an important victory, Guénon proceeded to see Yoza's corpse...

The Alliance survivors, in retribution for Guénon's help, aided him in transporting her corpse to the Path of the Titans, where she was buried.

After a ceremony in her honor, a gnome gave Guénon a Flying Machine, so they could fly back to their base, and so they did.

Weeks later, a Scourge Expedition found Yoza's corpse and raised it's corporeal half as a Frost Wyrm.

The Fall of the Lich King

The time for the final assault at Icecrown Citadel had come, and Guénon, using the Flying Machine given by the gnome, entered the fray with ground support of Gorossauro, Gorescream, Bonehook, Jo'ao and Kortoh Stripribs and the rest of the Goroscream soldiers and extra aerial assistance from the Goroscream fel orc dragonriders.

The battle proceeded intense, and the Scourge received aerial reinforcements from Frost Wyrms, one of them was Yoza. Yoza attacked the Alliance-Horde forces mercilessly and viciously, leading the frost dragons to great victories in small time. Yoza met Guénon once again, the troll and his former advisor engaged an intense aerial combat.

Guénon eventually won, hitting the frost wyrm in the head several times in a row, and she fell to the ground, the troll landed by her side, and left his Flying Machine, as he got near the wyrm's head, Yoza was dazed, lost in memories of her past life, with Horzinaku.

The troll got face-to-face to her, thinking she was dead, he put his hand on her skull-like head, stating that she was a powerful ally and that the Goroscream would never forget her. After feeling Guénon's warm hand on her head, Yoza remembered when Horzinaku and Guénon saved her from the Dragonmaw, and finally came to her senses, free of the Lich King's grasp. Yoza quickly flew high into the sky, with a powerful roar, she told the troll -in a death knight-like voice- that she was a fool of letting herself be turned into this, and then she came to the ground, saying that "Yoza was back into service".

Happy for having his advisor back, Guénon hopped on Yoza's back and Kortoh Stripribs took the Flying Machine, and both re-entered the fray, with the command of the ground units -and Guénon's pets- given to Kredo, while the aerial force fell under Yoza's leadership, with Kortoh Stripribs chosen to be her second-in-command. Guénon then ordered Jo'ao to lead a small party of Goroscream Hunters and Rogues to the Frozen Halls to serve under Sylvanas Windrunner.

When the Ashen Verdict announced the beginning of their assault inside Icecrown Citadel, Guénon ordered his men to stay outside and stop any kind of Scourge reinforcements.

Guénon, alongside many Alliance and Horde adventurers and Tirion Fordring, was there during the final conflict against the Lich King at the Frozen Throne.

The fight was intense, and when the battle went inside Frostmourne itself, Guénon wasn't there, after receiving a fatal blow, Guénon feigned his death as his troll regeneration healed him, thus, he avoided being sent into Frostmoure. When he had been enough healed, the troll tried to fight with the Lich King alone.

Guénon was pretty agile so Arthas took a long time to connect a single hit because of his heavy gear, as Guénon shot the Lich King with all his might, but eventually, the Lich King managed to cut his chest and kick him in the belly, quickly bringing the troll back to the ground, Guénon was knocked out and the Lich King executed him, but not in time to absorb his soul...

The adventurers managed to break free from Frostmourne just in time, proceeding with the fight. In the wake of Arthas' wrath, the Lich King killed all adventurers and prepared to raise them as champions of the Scourge. But Tirion managed to break free from his Icy Tomb, and shattered Frostmourne, reviving all the adventurers -including Guénon- with a Achievement guildperk massresurrection [Mass Resurrection] spell. Guénon was back to life, enraged at Arthas, and took part in the combined final blow done simultaneously with the other adventurers with his signature Ability hunter explosiveshot [Explosive Shot].

Once the Lich King was defeated and after hearing Bolvar Fordragon's warning, Guénon ran outside Icecrown Citadel to destroy the remaining Scourge with his Goroscream Forces.

Zalazane's Fall

As Guénon and his forces prepared to leave Northrend at Vengeance Landing, Kredo found a poster talking about the recovery of the Echo Isles. The furbolg called his attention, and after analyzing the poster, flashes of his life as a barbarian troll at the isles came to his head. Mainly the day he had to leave the island because of Zalazane's Hexed Trolls. Guénon was also in debt with the Darkspear Tribe, after all, it was thanks to them that he met life-in-society, so the troll strongly felt he needed to participate in that battle.

Guénon took Gorossauro and ordered Kredo and Yoza to watch over Goroscream Hold while he didn't return.

When the battle was finally over, Guénon helped the Darkspear in building their new home at the Echo Isles, and left.

The Fall of Goroscream

After the fall of the Zalazane, Guénon returned to Goroscream Hold at Western Plaguelands. Once he received news that the Horde had a new warchief, the troll travelled to Orgrimmar to see what plans Garrosh Hellscream had for the faction. Though neither Guénon nor Garrosh saw each other during the troll's stay at the Orcish capital, Guénon found out that Hellscream had expansionist plans for the Horde.

With this in mind, Guénon devised a plan to ensure Horde domination at northern Eastern Kingdoms, so he could gain Garrosh's support so that the warchief wouldn't interneve in the Goroscream's exisence, the same way the troll did with Thrall (but with other manners).

The Goroscream advanced and claimed the Alliance-Argent Crusade base of Chillwind Camp for the Horde, later, he gave reinforcements for the Forsaken assaulting Southshore, and conquered several other Alliance bases.

The Alliance soon heard about it and prepared a counteroffensive, since those "Horde" attacks didn't have Hellscream's authorization, the warchief sent Eitrigg and Horde agents to aid the Alliance Counteroffensive, and thus, the Goroscream Wars started. The Alliance's counterattack was massive and the Goroscream Forces met several defeats and the battle was taken to Goroscream Hold. The Goroscream Forces resisted valiantly against the Alliance but they were utterly destroyed, Yoza died, Gorescream died, Kortoh was sent to the Stormwind Stockades...the only survivors were Guénon and Gorossauro, the troll almost collapsed when he saw what had become of his militia, but Kredo's words managed to calm him down a bit and give him a new mission: to join the ranks of the Darkspear Trolls and help Vol'jin in preventing the Horde from collapsing thanks for the tension risen by Garrosh. With Gorossauro in his arms, Guénon departed for his new journey, and Kredo finally managed to rest in peace, going to the Spirit World.

Return to the Horde

The Horde Agents left the Alliance Counteroffensive before they could reach Goroscream Hold, so Guénon was unaware that his own warchief gave support to his militia's demise, this made him accept his new journey. Since he covered his face with a Inv helmet 158 [Snowserpent Mail Helm] during the Goroscream Showdown, there was no way to recognize him without the helmet.

The troll hunter and his Bloodtalon Raptor made their first stop at Orgrimmar, he saluted the Warchief at Grommash Hold and pledged his services to the Horde, only to be driven out by the Kor'kron Elite Guard under Hellscream's orders, because he was a troll. Angry at his new warchief and not believing that he fought so hard in an allout war to please "a bastard Brown Abomination", Guénon and Gorossauro went directly to the Sen'jin Village, he was greeted by Zjolnir, the only one who remembered him. After spending some time talking about a part of his adventures to Zjolnir, both trolls went to the Echo Isles, so Guénon could formally introduce himself to Vol'jin. The Shadow Hunter distrusted Guénon at first for he thought he came from nowhere and couldn't remember him as a Darkspear troll, but Zjolnir told the Darkspear chieftain how he found Guénon in the day of Zalazane's revolt.

Vol'jin felt pity of Guénon for all he passed in that time and praised Zjolnir for what he did, the troll chieftain quickly remembered the day that Guénon brought some of his Goroscream to help the Darkspear Trolls during Zalazane's Fall, and as a mean to give his thanks to the hunter, Vol'jin accepted Guénon as an official member of the Darkspear tribe, even giving him a new outfit and a bow for him to use during the battles to come.

Rise of the Zandalari

Guénon made a name for himself among the Horde -mainly among the Darkspear Trolls-, and received an invitation from Vol'jin himself to join the fight against the Amani-Zandalar Alliance at Zul'Aman, to prevent King Rastakhan from building a new troll empire. Guénon, of course, accepted the invitation and joined forces with his chieftain and his allies.

After the second fall of Zul'Aman, Guénon returned to Orgrimmar and dedicated himself to fight the Twilight's Hammer and the rest of Deathwing's minions.

Rage of the Firelands

Guénon played a minor role in the war against the Elemental Lord Ragnaros, the troll and his faithful raptor became part of a Horde task force led by the Guardians of Hyjal to fight the minions of the Firelord who were still at Mount Hyjal.

Hour of Twilight

Guénon took part in the final battle against Deathwing and his minions by defending Wyrmrest Temple from the attacks of the Old Gods' forces.

Guénon and Gorossauro fought fiercely against the unending waves of Faceless ones and twilight cultists who tried to lay siege to the temple, there was a moment however, in which Guénon thought he was going to lose his life - he was disarmed by a twilight rogue and paralized alongside Gorossauro by the magic of another cultist, but in the last second, he was enveloped by a Spell holy powerwordshield [Power Word: Shield] spell and healed from all his wounds, with the cultist pair being quickly obliterated by three waves of Spell holy holynova [Holy Nova]. The troll had his life saved by no other than Archbishop Benedictus from the Church of the Holy Light.

Benedictus said that he was there to help the Dragon Aspects in their battle against Deathwing, and that he was ordered to create a small defense force under his leadership, and attempted to recruit Guénon. Guénon, feeling in debt for having his life saved, gladly joined Benedictus' defense team, composed of about sixteen adventurers -eight from the Alliance, and eight from the Horde-.

The group's strength was formidable, they even managed to successfully open a hole in a huge wave of minions of the Old Gods and went somewhere near to the entrance of the maw of Shu'ma, a powerful Forgotten One. They were prepared to bring a great victory for the proud defenders of Azeroth, but it was all a trap...Benedictus revealed himself as the Twilight Father and rooted the group with Void tendrils. The former archbishop said that it was his plan to bring together all those "powerful heroes" so that he could kill them all at once. Guénon was enraged with the human, and yelled at him, Guénon asked why didn't Benedictus let him die before, Benedictus said that he had to be convincing and that Guénon's example served as the greatest reason for the other accessions after his.

The Twilight Father started channeling a massive Shadow spell as many lesser Faceless ones and tentacles started to surround the rooted group. Gorossauro, nervous and infuriated because of his imminent death, entered a killing frenzy, and with his teeth and claw he managed to cut down the tendrils which trapped him, quickly freeing Guénon afterwards.

In a flash, Guénon was with his bow in hands and Gorossauro on his shoulders, before Benedictus could take any action he was shot by Guénon's Ability theblackarrow [Silencing Shot], interrupting his channeling and preventing from using any other kind of spells for a small period of time. Surprised by the troll's actions, the Faceless ones quickly charged against the adventurers, who broke free from their Void tendrils since Benedictus' magical powers were temporarily cut off.

The heroes quickly organized themselves and even considered killing the Twilight Father, but they were vastly outnumbered, there were too many beasts for them to face, they decided to retreat by opening a hole in the wall of Faceless ones and tentacles that surrounded them. Guénon and his comrades escaped from the Twilight's Hammer, retaking the base of Wyrmrest Temple from the Old Gods' ground forces.

They were, however, unaware that the Twilight Father had reassumed his identity as Archbishop Benedictus and successfully seized control over the Chamber of the Aspects, underneath the temple itself.

The Twilight Father would only lose his grasp over the chamber after Thrall's arrival and the human's eventual death at the hands of the World Shaman and other adventurers.

After the obliteration of all of Deathwing's forces at Dragonblight, Guénon remained alongside a huge contingent of adventurers, soldiers and drakes to ensure the security of Wyrmrest.

Guénon did take no part in the direct conflicts with Deathwing himself.
