When the Old Hounds were formed, it was composed solely of disgruntled Alliance soldiers who faced Arthas' treasonous acts first hand. Their work was self-imposed and dealt primarily with covert operations to sabotage the Prince's course throughout Northrend. As time passed, the company's size dwindled in the wake of the Argent Crusade's Northrend campaign until Ironhammer temporarily retired the order. Recently, Flinte has decided to revitalize the Old Hounds and set out on a "World Tour intended to clean Azeroth up."
