Over time, Rote gradually has come to accept that he will always be Forsaken. He still has the vague ghost pangs of loyalty to the people of Stormwind, but that fell off dramatically after his own family recoiled in horror at the sight of him and the city guards chased him through the wilderness, calling him a monster and trying to destroy him. He still clings to some aspects of his old life: Rote keeps accounts for merchants in the Undercity, just like he used to do in Stormwind; he enjoys red wine; and he likes to read just about everything he can get his gnarled hands on.
