    History:

    Syleen is a member of the Grey family; a warrior caste that served Lordaeron for many years. Since birth she was expected to take on the position of housewife and hostess of the Hall of Greys. As a child, she watched from afar as her cousins sparred, bound by tradition and honor. The Grey family considered women to be unfit for combat, rather they fufilled more traditional roles. Syleen learned to cook and clean, but she dreamed of one day fighting as a battlemaiden on the field of war. One day her mother, a woman named, "Katherine" caught the young Syleen daydreaming and decided to ask her husband to grant Syleen's wish. The next morning, Jonathan, Syleen's father offered the girl a chance to prove herself. Syleen accepted the challenge and followed her father to the proving grounds in front of their house. There a young boy, slightly older to her was holding a practice sword. Jonathan gave Syleen a piece of wood and told her to defend herself. The girl turned to ask why, but was hit in the head by her opponent and knocked out. She awoke the next day angry at her family and the boy, but especially at her father. She decided that she would issue more challenges and discover a way to hurt her family's pride. She used her broom in the cellar and smacked away at the wind. She screamed as she swung for hours and developed her fantasies further, from an honorable battlemaiden to a shadowy assassin. She decided that since she didn't have any training that she'd try to fight dirty, just as the boy did. That evening her father came home drunk and beat Katherine for, "looking at him funny." Syleen watched the beating with intrigue, she felt nothing for her mother and decided that she'd look at everyone this way, with intrigue. The next day came and Syleen awoke a cold and calculating thinker; she found her father before he'd leave and demanded another challenge. Jonathon smiled and pointed to the streets in front, "I knew you had it in you." Syleen carried her stick outside and stood before one of her cousins, "I challenge you." The boy charged her expecting for her to cringe, but she didn't. Syleen swung the piece of timber into the boy's knee and caused him to squeal in pain. She smashed the other knee as the boy curled to defend himself. Syleen looked around her, "Anyone else?" Syleen was charged by the other boys and was badly beaten, her father disowned her for fighting so dishonorably and she ran away. Syleen became a rogue, fighting for the Alliance. She also sought to become an unpredictable fighter and one day change the Grey family. She would return when the Scourge wiped Strahnbrad off the map and aid in the evacuation. The new Grey Family under the leadership of Teldrion of the Grey made their way to Stormwind in the south. Syleen was welcomed back and learned that her father killed her mother and then himself soon after she ran away. Syleen smiled at the news, "I know, I watched with intrigue."
