( This Hero Concept is based on a Fan-Created Non-Cannon World of Warcraft Character )
Bio:
Tyrone Acersteel was a gnome who had his mind in places other than just in machinery and cogs. He aspired to become a known Archaeologist but also wanted to bring pride to his family name. Once he has passed the Engineer's test and claimed the title as Master Engineer, he quickly abandoned his career and started to pursue his dream of becoming an Archaeologist. This would eventually lead him to the lands of Uldum, years before the adventurers of Azeroth sat foot there - Deep within a vault which is now lost to time, Tyrone discovered an ancient Titan artifact. One which held the powers of shadows and passing trough time and dimensions. Upon claiming the artifact, Tyrone was given it's powers and a voice which sounded old as the world itself told him that he had acclaimed one of the twelve Titan gifts and that with this gift, he would bring right to those who did wrong. With the powers to travel dimensions, Tyrone would eventually end up in the Nexus - a place where life and death seemed to mean little. This would be the perfect grounds for Tyrone to try out and master his new powers, allowing him to become stronger while defeating those who would bring harm to him or his newfound allies. However: as other members of Azeroth also would seem to be fighting, Tyrone falsely titled himself and brought upon a new name that would hide his real identity: Knight Meta.
