The daughter of merchant-lord (and later King of Fora) "Old Man" Stormwind, Venustus is a brilliant woman and a naturally gifted oracle. She is the founder of the secret organization known as the Clockmakers, whose original purpose was to bypass government bureaucracy for the betterment of her people. However, when she prophesied the return of Mendax, she took action to prepare, only to be kidnapped by the dragon. When Venustus returned to society as Mendax disguised, all her life's work was corrupted and turned to evil. In time, Venustus transferred her soul into the immortal body of a Warforged, and went on to lead the rest of her new kin into a brave future.
