I guess he was merely a setback

Kommentar von DeSaad

You shall be missed, true Kingpin of the Defias.

*salutes*

Kommentar von thegrayfox117

The greatest human engineer in Azerothian history, former leader of the Defias Brotherhood, and greatest mortal threat ever known to Stormwind. Raised by a stonemason and living as a 'roofwalker' in his youth, Vancleef's abilities showed their true potential after being betrayed by the corrupt nobles of Stormwind.

It is worth noting that Edwin Vancleef's body was never properly identified. His assassination was ordered by the leader of the SI:7, Mathias Shaw, who knew him in his youth. When adventurers turn in Vancleef's head to Gyran Stoutmantle, it is the last we hear of the head, and no mention is made of sending it to Mathias. Vancleef is described as man who's "overall appearance is so common, in fact, that he would be almost instantly forgettable if not for the spotless, scarlet bandanna fastened around his neck". For all we know, Vancleef could still be alive, waiting for the right time to reveal himself.

The Brotherhood shall prevail.

Here's some lore of Edwin:

Edwin van Cleef grew up as a stonemason. When Stormwind was in ruins from the Second War, he helped rebuild Stormwind at it's finest. Stormwind was supposed to and promised him handsome pay for his duties. Yet, when he finished, they ripped him off. Thousands, maybe ten thousands of dollars was supposed to go to Vancleef, But Stormwind said no. He was furious and demanded pay for his fine job he did, But King Varian Wrynn spat at his feet, And ordered his men to throw him out to Stormwinds gates. There, the men that were also thrown out of Stormwind sat there looking at Edwin. Vancleef gave them Red Bandanas, And made a group called The Defias Brotherhood. He vowed and his men vowed revenge on Stormwind for not paying him. But, he never lived to get his real money.

I think his name, Edwin VanCleef, comes from an actor by the name Lee Van Cleef, who usually appeared in Western movies. He also starred in a Clint Eastwood movie, "The good, the bad & the ugly". He played "The bad" in this movie, and that character reflects, slightly, on Edwin. "The bad" always finishes a job he's paid for, but after alot of complications, he was betrayed.

Not a big lore fan? This is what ya gotta know:

Him and his buddies rebuilt SW, weren't payed, and kicked out. He formed the Brotherhood, and (I think) they were building a boat to attack Stormwind all from an underground cave.

Edwin...is awesome.

Deathsdefend left something out-- the reason his men got thrown out, is for throwing a rock during a riot. Rock hit Tiffin Wrynn in the head, and killed her. unable to find the EXACT killer, he kicked them all out.

Hearthstone: Edwin VanCleef

Kommentar von FoxyFoxtrot

apparently the old version of this "lovable" character used to drop a quest object that wowhead has trouble recognizing.. I just found one in my bank. Since it hasn't been mentioned here or on the other vancleef link, I thought that I should share the tidbit.

the item is now obsolete, but here are the details any way ^_^

the "An unsent letter" An Unsent Letter which would then start Der nie verschickte Brief
Desc: Searching Edwin VanCleef's person, you discover, among other things, an unsent letter. It is addressed to Baros Alexston, the City Architect of Stormwind, City Hall, Cathedral Square.
It appears to be recently written and sealed.

the discussion with Alexston upon reading the letter:
Edwin VanCleef, you say? I would as much expect a letter from my dead grandmother... So you've killed him then? Pardon me in saying, but I'm somewhat surprised. He was a peerless fighter in his younger years. Let's see what he finds the need to write to me about after so many years.
<Baros peruses the letter.>
Edwin... I see the years haven't changed you a bit, an idealist as ever, and a romantic. He doesn't care who he hurts, <name>. Revenge has consumed him. But then, I'm not sure I can blame him.

....and then continue on into another 11 quests:

The Unsent Letter <--- obtained from killing Vancleef {THE STARTING QUEST}
Bazil Thredd
The Stockade Riots
The Curious Visitor
Shadow of the Past
Look to an Old Friend
Infiltrate the Castle

Brotherhood's End
An Audience With the King

and reward your efforts with Siegel von Wrynn

Anyone know if there's a player obtainable gear set like his? It looks freakin' awesome! *o*

Kommentar von TyrantJump

Anyone looking for an Edwin Xmog.

Mask

Shoulders

Chest

Hands

Traveler's Gloves - A major crying shame with this set is that the closest you can get without a leather worker is this off-color model. Best way to get these is to farm mobs in Blackrock Spire.
Stormshroud Gloves

Waist

Girdle of Lenience - There isn't a belt for the set, but I recommend the Girdle of Lenience from Instructor Razuvious in Naxx 10.

Legs

Outrider's Leather Pants (H)/Sentinel's Leather Pants (A) - Closest you can get without a leather worker are these legacy PvP items.
- Kelm Hargunth - Horde Vendor
- Illiyana Moonblaze - Alliance Vendor
Stormshroud Pants

Boots

Traveler's Boots - And now we get to the worst part of the whole set. The matching boots are no longer obtainable, so the next best thing is a distinctly more off-color pair dropped by mobs in Blackrock Spire.

You know what that means? You're better off going for the recolor (which uses a weird pair of boots for the preview, for some reason).
