Landonar Mechasmite is a Kal'dorei death knight who specialises in frost powers, aided by his knowledge of thermodynamics. He is the former drummer of Gnomeregan-based tech-metal band Nixxey Plixx. Landonar d'Halanu grew up in Ashenvale, where he studied sowrdsmanship. On the side, he did a bit of tinkering, which would emerge later in his life. His family had a strong Elunite tradition, and he was expected to pray daily to the moon goddess. When he was still young, his older brother, now known as Sameral Ollinen, fled home to escape an arranged marriage. Without his brother to guide him, Landonar was left alone, with the burden of being the first child of the house.
