Aerthal

( Work in progress )

Name
Aerthal Dawnbreaker, Blood Knight

Physical Traits
Aerthal is of average height and weight of an ordinary Blood Elf. More precisely he is around 185 cm in height and weighs roughly 85 kg. The daily usage of plate armor, swinging a sword and holding on to a board has provided him a reasonable amount of muscle. He has long black hair which is usually held up at the back of his head in a ponytail, leaving some to frame his battle-hardened face should he occasionally remove his helmet.

His armor is adorned by various, randomly but carefully positioned, elongated hand-written notes that praise the power of the Light and the Sin'dorei. One such example would be a quote he rarely uses himself, but is known to follow such ideology: "Light is not a shield to protect the weak but it is in fact a weapon to empower the worthy."

Race and Class
Blood Elf, Blood Knight

Guild
The Suncrown Order

Occupation
Aerthal's prowess in battle is most likely the corner-stone of his abilities, and his other skills and occupation revolve around it. He is a tough and resolute warrior gifted by the power of the Light. More often than not, he is seen as a defensive type rather than offensive, but he is known to throw out some carefully planned moves if necessary in order to behead the opponent...

Background
Before the Scourge attack on Quel'thalas, Aerthal was a part of the Silvermoon guard and worked as a squad leader in defense of the city. His father also lived a life of a guard. His mother, however, was a priestess, and through her the teachings and philosophy of the Light was brought to the rest of the family. Aerthal later gave an oath as a Blood Knight but stayed to protect Silvermoon when their Prince left in search for a better future...

Family Background
Aerthal comes from a fairly small family. His father was a guard of Silvermoon, much like himself before the Blood Knight initiation. His mother was a priestess, who in turn brought the Light into the rest of the family. They were all devoted followers of the Light before the Scourge attack.

Current Status
Alive and spirited.

Magister's Journal
''Today I withdrew to my chamber to discuss with you, my dear diary, about a certain Blood Knight. An intriquing specimen, I must add. I was never really fond of these within the Order, but this one caught my immediate attention. Yes, granted, he is as arrogant as the rest, but he... He never was one to take up the mantle of leadership, he never took himself as a leader type and as such remained with his equals.''

''Though, when he stood in the front row, with his blade drawn and shield in front. An aura of inspiration filled his men beside him, and behind. Even the Magisters readying their spells to strike at the enemy, stared at him in awe as he imbued himself and those around him with the power of the Light. With prayers.''

''When others were met with hesitation in their minds, he charged in first, and a vast number of his equals followed, confident that by his example this battle would be victorious. He used no words, only actions to reflect his devotion to the Sin'dorei cause. And that reflection was contagious... Although I thought I didn't allow myself to be affected, but now that I think back at it, it may have just done that...''
