Once players have watched the cutscene for Ein Blick in die Vergangenheit, he has lore questions that can be asked of him:

<Ask for more information about the Defias Brotherhood.>

The Defias Brotherhood exists for many reasons, but they would not exist without Onyxia.

The First War saw Stormwind razed to the ground. Edwin VanCleef led the Stonemason's Guild in rebuilding the city. But when they were to be paid, the House of Nobles refused.

It was chaos at the time, but we now know how Onyxia, as Lady Prestor, worked behind the scenes. She convinced the House that the Stonemason's work was poor, and they were being ripped off.

Then she went to the Stonemasons and convinced them that the House of Nobles despised them and would never pay them their due.

Her magical influence was a subtle thing. Not overt mind control. She could not force someone to do something they did not already want to do, somewhere inside.

Onyxia played both sides against each other so well, a riot erupted in the city. A thrown rock struck Queen Tiffin Wrynn, and took her life. Varian's wife, Anduin's mother. In a world of wars and demons... it was a cruelly simple fate.

King Varian was furious, and banished the Stonemasons from the city. They fled to Westfall, where Onyxia continued to stoke their rage by using her influence to cut off supplies and support to the region.

They became the Defias Brotherhood, and under Edwin VanCleef's reign, they turned to banditry and murder to recover the gold owed to them.

( ) <Ask Shaw how he feels about the Defias Brotherhood.>

It is easy to sympathize with the plight of the Stonemasons Guild.

It is not so easy to overlook the banditry and murders committed by the Defias.

Their goals never justified their methods.

But that does not mean that their goals--to see the Stonemasons paid, to help the people of Westfall--should be forgotten.

King Anduin made strides in addressing those issues, but for many, it will never be enough.

All we can do is keep trying. Forming a working relationship with Vanessa VanCleef herself... that sounds like another step in the right direction.

<Ask for more information about Vanessa VanCleef.>

Ah, yes. What is the Stormwind City Spymaster doing having a chat with one of the most notorious criminal leaders known to man, instead of arresting her on sight?

Good question.

Vanessa is not an innocent woman. The Furlbrows, the Deadmines... there is much she should answer for.

But war changes all of us. During the invasion of the Burning Legion, she took up her blades and poisons in defense of Azeroth. I saw her bleed for our world.

( ) <Continue.>

Maybe it's just wishful thinking. Maybe I'm just going soft. Maybe... because I knew her father...

<Shaw sighs.>

Whatever the reason, I believe there is good in her. She cares deeply for the people of Westfall.

And she is not her father. Someday, she might actually listen to reason.

( ) <Ask if Shaw knew Edwin VanCleef.>

<Shaw's jaw tightens.>

Yes, I knew him.

<Ask for more information about the Drakefire Amulet.>

We don't know where or how Onyxia first acquired her Dragon's Eye, as the amulet was first called. But while she had it on her person, her words were like honey to all that heard them.

Myself included. I remember a sort of... fog around her. It never occurred to me to question a single thing she said, regardless of my normally cynical nature.

Mind you, our wills were still our own. It was the combination of her cunning and her magic that gave her power. She knew what you wanted to hear... and how to push you in the direction you were already facing.

The amulet could not force anyone to do something they didn't already want to do, somewhere inside.

( ) <Continue.>

When Onyxia was in the height of her power as Lady Prestor, she placed the Dragon's Eye directly on Bolvar Fordragon. That seemed to enthrall him even more deeply than the rest of us.

But then Windsor arrived and, in the confrontation, the amulet was shattered.

Onyxia fled to her lair and locked the door behind her. But the key was within her broken amulet.

The Dragon's Eye was reforged into the Drakefire Amulet. It was used to enter her lair, where she was finally defeated. Afterward, the Drakefire Amulet was returned to Stormwind, where it was kept in safekeeping, lest its power linger.
