(Spoilers below)

I found Lin's situation very mirroring of one particular case from vanilla. A spouse in despair sends you in search of the other spouse. Upon looking for the spouse among the living (by which I mean both the living Pandaren and the other people in /1) you finally find the missing spouse, lying beaten and dead on the ground, killed by a race of savage animal-people. Once the news breaks, the remaining spouse swears vengeance against the people who killed her partner.

R.I.P. Lin Silentstrike, a.k.a. Mankrik's Wife II.
