Ardelan Shamilov

Scout-Captain Ardelan Shamilov was among the most vicious members of the Truthful's insurgency during the Dragonblight Offensive. He was captured and executed by the expeditionary forces.

Origin
Shamilov was one of the last among Brother Korloff's disciples. As a master of the blazing fist, he was among the most dangerous combatants within the Kingdom of the Light of Northrend. Though he was not a particularly well-versed tactician, the monk's deadly martial skills proved to be a valuable asset to the troops he lead. Shamilov emboldened his comrades, allowing the relatively under-equipped militants to fight with a ferocity that would make even the most hardened of knights wary.

Death
The final siege point was designated by the Alliance forces during their campaign against the Truthful, of which was to be the dispossess the Scarlet Crusaders of the Crimson Portcullis. This particular bridge proved to be vital for the insurgent forces, as they could easily waylay or kill any trespasser on sight seeking to move through the Kingdom's settlements. Needless to say, the Truthful sent the strongest force they could. Ardelan, accompanied by a Knight of Dathrohan, a veteran crusader, and the High General himself, all fought tirelessly for control of the bridge against the invading forces, and even though they were never truly bested in combat, the overwhelming assault eventually trimmed the Scarlet forces, and the squad of leaders were forced to surrender.

Imprisoned alongside his High General in Tyr's Hand, Ardelan's last service was made. He shed the faulty lock that bound his wrists, and as he freed his comrade, their zeal and combined might led them to liberation from their cell, as they burst down its bars and fought their captors. The High General's escape was of utmost importance, thus, Shamilov took a lethal bullet to prevent Hayes' demise, allowing him to flee to safety.
