Katrina Prestor (Onyxia) (v2.1)

Stormwind's Traitor

"It seems you need another lesson, mortals"


Onyxia was the daughter of Deathwing and his Prime Consort Sintharia and the broodmother of the black dragonflight on Azeroth. Like her father and her brother Nefarian, she had a human guise, appearing as Stormwind noblewoman Katrana Prestor. Seeking to take control of the Kingdom of Stormwind, she manipulated a conflict between the Stonemasons and the House of Nobles that led to the death of Queen Tiffin Wrynn. She later had King Varian Wrynn abducted by the Defias Brotherhood on route to Theramore Isle. Prestor subsequently became a royal councilor to his 10-year-old son Anduin Wrynn and controlled Highlord Bolvar Fordragon with the Drakefire Amulet. Onyxia was slain and beheaded in her lair by King Varian upon his return when her true identity was revealed, thus restoring the line of Stormwind's kings. After the return of her father and the Shattering that resulted, she was reanimated by her brother Nefarian as an electrical undead monstrosity. Ultimately, she would be destroyed once more, along with Nefarian, in the Blackwing Descent.

Here in the Nexus, Katrina Prestor, or rather Onyxia, will put her plans into motion. All of the Nexus will serve her will, and the disobedient ones will meet...an untimely fate. Will the Heroes of the Nexus uncover her plots before its to late? Or will the Raven Lord make use of her draconic charm?
