Mirke
Storyline Solhaven Cataclysm
Gender male
Race half-elf
Status dead
Hometown Mestanir

Mirke was a mercenary hired by Lord Paidreg Venquinor during the Cataclysm. He attempted to assist in closing the elemental rift threatening to consume Solhaven and was suffused with elemental energy, being horribly scarred in the process. He was treated for his critical injuries but remained weak. After discovering that Paidreg had been possessed by the Luukosian parasite Nershuul, Mirke assassinated Paidreg. The effort was too great for his weakened body, and he expressed a wish to die alone, likely succumbing to his wounds near the end of 5109.
