Cotley is a Forsaken apothecary that had come to care for a group of Horde refugees within the Arathi Highlands.

One day the refugees were approached Visrynn, a dark ranger, who joined them on the condition that they take a vow of silence. While she traveled with them for half a day, Cotley tended to her injured hand and learned that she sought to go south and chart a boat from Faldir's Cove. In time, an Alliance strike team led by Turalyon and Alleria Windrunner came upon them looking for Visrynn. After seeing that his group had been captured, Cotley called them dogs and declared that they should be compassionate as the refugees were innocent, homeless, and starving, just pawns in their endless wars.

After Alleria interrogated Gowzis with the Void, an outraged Cotley ordered her to stop and revealed all he knew about Visrynn. In response, Alleria ceased her attack and ordered Celosel Nightgiver to give the refugees food, blankets, and what they could spare. She further ordered for Cotley to be sent to Stormwind, under the belief that he may know more and how they couldn't afford to miss a single detail in their hunt for Sylvanas.

Anduin Wrynn personally watched his procession into the stockades, where he ordered for Cotley to be treated fairly and due to be set free after being thoroughly questioned.
