Kind of off-topic, the ferry in that video is in my hometown, Rocky Hill, CT. It goes between there and Glastonbury. It's the oldest continually running ferry in the country. It's been run for a last one day a year since 1655. The railroad bridge he's standing on is in Portland, CT. And now back to our regularly schedule program. http://bit.ly/hvxv9o

I'm thinking, perhaps he/she was one of the poor bastards who stood in the fire and survived when Deathwing struck at Stormwind (yes, I'm leaning towards Alliance since I think their "destiny" is easier to understand than the "blood & Honor!" stuff of the Horde; eventually, your own views seep into your player character).
