Zorrix

Zorrix is one of many High Generals of the Burning Legion, a position not often afforded to individuals of the aranasi species. Gradually overtaking command over more and more aranasi broods across the cosmos, he has established his own, the Felswarm, to assert dominance over all others. Well aware of the societal implications of a male of his species taking a solo leadership position, Zorrix enjoys the protection afforded upon him by the Legion's master.

Youth
One of countless broodlings to be spawned during the Burning Legion's lengthy conquest, Zorrix's egg cluster was selected for fel infusion before hatching. Unlike most aranasi spiderlings, he and his siblings had emerged from their eggs overwhelmed with the Legion's power, their chitinous carapaces oozing at the seams with molten fel. Just as this process warps the body, so too does it affect the mind. However, instead of using his gift purely to corrupt and destroy, he opted to serve his ever-hungering species as a scout.

Position in Aranasi Society
Having chosen his path, Zorrix placed himself in a uniquely outside position from the usual brood hierarchies. Instead of spending his time settling and growing comfortable in a single brood's territory, he offered himself up as one of the first to cross over before regular planetary swarms. This way, he could investigate the unsuspecting worlds for any threats, as well as corrupt the future portal site for easier summoning. While his duties afforded him no particular elevation in society, it was nonetheless a respectable choice, and he was left to his own devices.

With his mind already somewhat cracked from his felborne nature, Zorrix eventually came to see his scouting duties not only as an honor, but a sacred mission.

Seeking the Legion
While the aranasi as a whole were decently intertwined with the Burning Legion that elevated them so long ago, the invasion of Argus and banishment of Sargeras caused great swathes of aranasi broods to pull back and reconsider their place in the Burning Crusade. Zorrix, who had never truly interacted with the greater Legion, disapproved of what he believed to be faltering in the face of defeat. Being relatively unknown to most of his kind, Zorrix saw an opportunity to reach out and seek remnants of the Legion.

Thus, then, did he hear the call of Keyadishan: the eredar lord who had reclaimed Mardum and had opened the way for loyal demons to gather and pledge their allegiance to his revitalized Crusade.

Zuphus, Realm of Fire
Zorrix was quick to join his new lord, enthralled by the idea of eventually visiting Argus-- a place he believed to be holy land-- and reclaiming it from what remained of the Army of the Light. Increasingly willing to risk himself in dire situations for this cause, the aranasi found himself assisting in the retrieval of a supremely powerful artifact, Ul'zrokith, from a shrouded plane of fire named Zuphus. This artifact afforded Keyadishan increased power and knowledge, which would later pave the path for the invasion of Argus.

For proving himself worthy so early in his new master's Legion, Zorrix was promoted to the rank of High General, but did not yet claim the greater fel power that would usually follow.

Argus Reclamation
In due time, the increasingly powerful Legion amassed a fleet of command ships, which was then sent forth to lay waste to the Lightforged occupying Argus. After destroying a colossal Light-touched Titan sentinel and scores of Lightforged draenei, Zorrix had finally touched down upon the holy land that he so revered.
