The Forsaken who has come to be known as the Good Doctor Wintercreep was born twenty-four years before the Second War in the sleepy little hamlet of Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest as a human child named "Cranston Wintercrow". His parents were Avisten and Thalia Wintercrow, the village's resident Militia Captain and Physician, respectively. As happy as the Wintercrows were to have such an adorable bundle of joy in their arms, some people wish they could go back in time and push Thalia down a flight of stairs to keep Cranston from ever existing.
