Putress

1

Grand Apothecary Putress was the chief apothecary of the Forsaken's Royal Apothecary Society. He played a vital role in the development of the "New Plague" the Forsaken sought to create. During the battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, Putress and several apothecaries betrayed Sylvanas Windrunner and unleashed their blight upon the battlefield, indiscriminately killing Scourge, Horde, and Alliance alike. Siding with Varimathras and the Burning Legion, the rebels orchestrated a coup d'état to forcefully take control of the Undercity, nearly killing the Banshee Queen in the process. The Grand Apothecary was eventually killed and decapitated by King Varian Wrynn and the Alliance forces during the Battle for the Undercity. He had a deep voice, and said his brain was riddled with worms after becoming a Forsaken. He was also described as a broken corpse with no memory and as half-mad when he was working on the plague. In life, Putress' great passions were experimentation, creation, and discovery. During the Scourging of Lordaeron, he was amongst those who became mindless Scourge only to have their free will restored and joined the Forsaken under Sylvanas Windrunner. After the Forsaken secured the Undercity, he sought out their new Queen but was rebuffed by Varimathras. Not deterred by the demon, Putress was able to successfully track down Sylvanas and follow her into Lordaeron's former throne room, a feat that impressed her enough to give him an audience. Putress, who remembered little of his old life and mourned for nothing in it, cast off his mortal name upon rising as Forsaken. He eagerly embraced the new identity Sylvanas had given him and balked at the mere mention of a potential "cure" for undeath, as he considered his new existence a boon rather than a curse. Some time after the Undercity was founded, Putress found Garek Bandarion in the catacombs' tunnels and attempted to harvest his limbs, but was interrupted by Dark Ranger Anya, who recruited the amnesiac undead.
