[edit] IC Notes

Vinklo was a part of a Druidic family. He hated the idea of sleeping for centuries and rebuffed his family's insistence upon him taking up the mantle as well. Vinklo became a fisherman instead, based out of Auberdine. During a horrible spring storm, Vinklo's entire crew died and was eaten by murlocs; Auberdine officials assumed he had died as well. Vinklo survived on a deserted island for ten years, until small saplings growing on the island grew large enough to fashion a raft to sail back home. His mate had given birth to his daughter during that time, and they both moved on. Neither family would tell Vinklo where they had moved on to, since his former mate had taken a new mate who had reared the child as his own. Vinklo later acquired a small catamaran of his own and sailed away from night elf lands, moving on himself. He has never given up on the idea of finding his former mate and daughter (she would be 817 at the launch of WoTLK).

During a recent contract job with a dwarf from Westguard, Vinklo fell victim to the insane explorers of Whisper Gulch. He emerged with saronite saturating his nervous system, bonded permanently. The whispers of the god through its blood drove Vinklo to seek out druids in order to likewise bond them to Yogg-Saron. She sought out to weaken the defenses of the Emerald Dream and pave the way for her fellow Old God, the God of Nightmares, to completely vanquish it and possibly create another means of her escape from Ulduar.

Vinklo had successfully lured Nadezheda to [Wailing Caverns], where a physical conduit of Yogg-Saron waited with Druids of the Fang to infest her. Although this was successful, Wulfe later seized Nadezheda and removed the saronite before it could bond to her. He then sought out Vinklo but was unable to remove the bonded saronite. Seeing as beasts do not fall under the Old God's insanity, he then forcibly triggered Vinklo's hereditary druidic talents and made him transform into a bear.

At this time, Vinklo does not remember that he is an elf. He roams northern Kalimdor, wary of bipeds, and mainly fishes in streams for his food.
