Verius was a pit lord who, in the guise of a human, traveled to a chapel to manipulate a priest named Father Rammal into unwittingly assisting the demon in infiltrating the Silver Hand. Having seen through his disguise with the aid of a magical amulet, a female elf within the chapel revealed that both she and "Rammal" were in fact blood elves, a race highly sensitive and addicted to magic. Verius roared as the blood elves fell upon him.
