Background

"A hero. That is what they once called me. Now through the hands of The Lich King, I have become, a murderer."

As his "old" personality resurfaces so dose his memory, but there is still far to a complete recovery.

His history:

I was born in Brill, back before  The First War .. That would make me about 49 years old, I don't remember my childhood, mostly because of the war. I don't even remember when I became infected.

When I was of age I joined the Military, there I fought in a many battles and saved a lot of civilians from The Horde during The Second War.

My Last memory is of a secret mission to ambush a Horde outpost.. I was Lying in hiding on a ridge overlooking the outpost, when I notice a shadow sneaking up behind me.

As I turn around I this huge green Orc swinging his axe, the next second his axe has pierced the left side of my chest and into my heart. As I lie  on my back coughing up my blood, the world grows dark around the Orc that is now standing above me  and roaring.

Next I know, I was resurrected by "The Lich King" and forced to slaughter soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade. When my fellow Death Knight and I was liberated from The Lich King by the hands of Tirion Fordring and "Highlord" Darion Mograine, I returned to the "civilization" only to get rotten fruit thrown at me, getting spit at and call a murderer.  Hence:

"A hero. That is what they once called me. Now through the hands of The Lich King, I have become, a murderer."

Semi present:

Huh.. Since then a lot has happened.. I somehow stumbled upon a Paladin going by the name of Lex. That little bastard decided to purify me and restore my body.
The Knights of the Blade was where I first met this maniac together with many of the people I hold dear today. Lynniai, "Ele", Sheela and Tess Windrose, and ofcourse Terezane.

In "The Blade" I worked hard and earned my way to the rank of "First General", but a lot of things happened and I left. I wandered around for a while not really belonging to any order as I met this cute young girl named Myhra, she was searching for work so I decided to make her my maid, I had earned enough through time so I figured why not. 

As time when by and I got to know her better we decided to follow her dream and created The Lakeshire Party Service together with her friend Ly. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever tried..
People can be so impatient. While everything still was well I met this cute little blind midget person. Had I only known back then what meaning she'd have for me and my life.. Well I doubt it would have changed much.

Sadly "The Party Service" didn't last as the Lakeshire Committee didn't take to kindly to us using "their" tavern.
Luckily I was the only one to feel their wrath.

"The Rose":

I flickered about for a while after the collapse of "The Party Service" aimlessly looking for anything to keep me busy and not think about the horrors I'd gone through. I once more found myself standing at the outlook in the Mage quarters of Stormwind. That place had become a place of my salvation, I had once traveled from anywhere I was to get to that place, with it beautiful view of the sunset, but even more important, that special person I had met back then, Ri.

Her beautiful smile had saved me once before, and now did it again, only this time she had company, Sheela Windrose former wife of the leader of "The Blade" and person that had become more than just a friend to me. They were both members of the The Rose and with thier help I got a chance to show what I could do for the order. I worked hard and in what felt like no time at all I gained the rank of "Knight".

By then I had already gotten married.. To whom you ask? Well, remember that little blind midget person I talked about earlier? Her name was Kin'Sa Turo and she had become my wife, and in no time, we were awaiting the arrival of a child. A little girl we decided to call Arziar. I was happy, my life felt complete. I had all I could have hoped for, a wife and child that loved me, a job that filled me with pride and friends that would be there in a split second if I needed them, truly I was the luckiest man in the world.

But then, the war came. I don't completely remember how or why it happened, but one day like a lightning bolt from the clear sky came the message, we had been attack by the Atraxian Circle. The war was long and brutal with many casualties on our side, because we were not prepared nor a war faring order. In the midst of it all this chaos I was promoted to "Knight Commander", it was great news indeed, but it was overshadowed by the fact that Kin had decided to go into hiding. A thing from which she would never return.

As the war ended and we stood victorious, struggled to rest and be happy. How could I? My wife and child was missing. For weeks even months I waited for the search crew to find her, but nothing. Then one day, a letter. They had found her ring. The very ring I'd given her at our wedding, I knew right there what it meant, but I didn't want to believe it. The search crew looked for her a few more weeks when they finally came with news. They had found her remains.

As I scrabbled to try and find meaning in it all I found myself once again surrounded by friends that hold me dear. With their help I regained my ability to rest once more. I found myself happy once more had found a wife named Lavali or something like that, she had decided to just have us call her Mona, and things seemed to be going fine.

Sadly tension rose shortly after everything had fallen back in place, and without going into to much detail about it, I left The Rose. This was a grave blow to me, leaving "the family" I had gotten so used to and my job as a restaurant manager, yes I had become a restaurant manager for The Rose in Ironforge stranger things had happened. Losing the family was hard on me, I wondered the shadows of Stormwind and felt lost in the light of the sun.

One day I stumbled out of "the Pigs" and fell face first onto a sheet of paper on this paper was the sign of the Argent Crusade and the text said:

"Whoever you were until now -- soldier, farmer, blacksmith, lord, tanner, prince, or champion of the Lich King -- you are now one of us."

I read on, almost thinking it a scam:

"Whoever you were before and whatever rank and title you may have held, you are now a member of the crusade, and a brother or sister in arms. We share a purpose, a faith, and a conviction to do our duty. We defend those who cannot defend themselves. We stand up for the weak and the poor, regardless of their race and nationality."

I couldn't believe what I'd read, at first I was dumbfounded, was this really possible? Was there really a cause like this out there? Then I read the name of the order "Mardenholde Dawn", suddenly even through my drunken haze I remembered the Mardenholde Dawn, the people that had been friendly to me while the war was raging and I was stationed in Heartglen, the people that had welcome me and asked me to sit with them for a talk. It all returned to me. I pushed myself off the ground forcing my sick and weak muscles to work once more as I stumbled over to a mailbox.

With in a week, and a good payment to a mage, I was in heartglen once more, a letter in my hand telling me to show up for an interview. I had dug out my old armor and sword, I was ready to join them I thought, as the evening began I realized to my shock and horor, I had to spar against one of them! I fought to the best of my abilities and miraculously, I won.

Pressent:

My time in Mardenholde hasn't been easy, there's been up and downs, Mona, my wife was pregnant with triplets, I have no idea how that's even possible, sadly she lost them all at the day of birth and went into a coma from which she hasn't recovered.

My life has proceeded and I'm now a soldier in Mardenholde, and I've gotten lots of friends, ofcourse I haven't lost as many as I feared, and I'm still talking with Sheela and Ri.

*crackes neck and gets up from my chair*

Now my children.. I think story time is over. But before you go, I have a little secret for you all. I've met a new person, you see, a beautiful little Paladin who takes my breath away. One day you'll meet her, but until then you will have to guess on who this person is and how she can be My sunshine.
