One of the most tragic heroes among the Broken of Outland, Nobundo lost the ability to call upon the Light during the fall of Shattrath City and was deformed by the fel energies released. Shunned by his people, Nobundo took up the calling of the shaman while wandering the wilds of Outland, and introduced it to his people with the blessing of the wise Prophet Velen.

Since then, he has become one of the most powerful shaman, and draws the power of the elements into the Nexus.
