Dirge Quikcleave

Dirge Quikcleave resides in the dusty desert outpost of Gadgetzan, serving drinks and meats to parched travelers passing through the Tanaris sands. Despite operating out of a frontier tavern, he claims the mantle of the greatest living culinary artist in Azeroth. City cooking trainers across the world direct their most promising students to Dirge when they have exhausted ordinary lessons. His kitchen mastery is known for demanding, unusual ingredients—from giant clam meat and eggs for his Clamlette creations to the exotic beasts of distant shores.

Beneath his bravado as a gourmand, Dirge retains the entrepreneurial edge typical of any goblin in the desert. He maintains contacts with eccentric figures throughout Kalimdor and has an eye for dangerous culinary ventures. Those willing to retrieve fierce beast cuts, such as the monstrous chimaeroks native to Feralas's Isle of Dread, find that Dirge can concoct hearty recipes capable of sustaining champions on perilous journeys—provided they do not ask too many questions about his private dealings.
