Renzik "The Shiv" is agoblin member of theSI:7 located in theheadquarters inOld Town ofStormwind City. Renzik has connection both to theHidden Circle inIronforge as well as therogues inDarnassus. He isMathias Shaw's second in command.[1]
Because most SI:7 agents are members of recognizablyAlliance races, Renzik often serves as the organization's spy inOrgrimmar and otherHorde territories.[2] Renzik doesn't like interacting with others, but the pay is good and he can honestly say he is respected. He despises what goblins have become underJastor Gallywix.[3]
Background[]

Renzik'sCataclysm model.

Renzik was looking for Alliance adventurers to send them toLucius inLakeshire inRedridge Mountains for training.

He occasionally appears in the Town Hall ofLunarfall and asks the commander to kill various targets acrossDraenor.

He joined theUncrowned and is found in theHall of Shadows.
When Stormwind was under lockdown because of the infiltration from theVeiled Hand, Renzik guarded the entrance into the SI:7 building.[4] When the Uncrowned infiltrated the SI:7 headquarters in order to revealDetheroc, Renzik was sapped.[5]
He later journeyed toDeliverance Point on theBroken Shore. He can be seen rifling through boxes.

After the deaths ordered bySylvanas Windrunner at theGathering,Anduin Wrynn ordered that SI:7 watch the Horde at all times. Renzik was the leader of the spies in Orgrimmar, and the only one out in the open. He disguised himself as a merchant nearGrommash Hold.[3]
During theBattle for Lordaeron, Renzik was part of the SI:7 forces attacking theUndercity. He andMirabelle stole intel from the city but were caught byRoyal Dreadguards. They managed to escape via a smoke bomb while theDruids of the Claw fought offHorde forces.[6]
By the time of the end of the Fourth War, Renzik reported that parts of the ruins of Lordaeron appear slightly less dangerous as if the blight was slowly fading.[7]
