Background
Kalliades was born in Southshore, growing up in and around Hillsbrad and Silverpine. Kalliades' childhood name was Rocke. At a young he began training with his mother and father to become the next paladin in the family. At the age of 9 his mother was slain by a pack of worgs and worgen, this began a seperating affect that caused his father to be away for alot of time.

This left his brother to look after him for a while. At the age of 15, he was informed of his father's death during a pirate raid of his fathers last trades run of the season. Though he didn't know his father well Rocke vowed to hunt and kill his fathers killers. Because of his fathers death he became very suspicious of everyone around him even his childhood friends. After two years of searching and killing he finally found a series of information that lead him to a band of elvish pirates. Though he never found out which pirate murdered his father, he managed to kill the pirate leader and the crew, however as an outcome a terrible scar was left on his chest. Sadly he never found that his vow for revenge had been satisfactied. Kalliades returned to Southshore to rest for a few days and see his fiance Lathiana, but on the day he planned to travel south, he witnessed the destruction of Dalaran by archimonde. As soon as he could get into Dalaran Kalliades searched for his fiance, with little success. Finally he found her dead body which had been savaged by a ghoul. Kalliades buried Lathiana in the central grave in the SouthShore graveyard, he visits the grave whenever he is in Hillsbrad not wanting to forget his greatest love. A few weeks later he left Hillbrad to travel to Duskwood. There he met and became close friends with Thepol, who helped with his training to be a paladin. He occasionally crossed paths with Hejin who he became quite fond of. Now 19 he felt ready to face the world. He decided to travel back to hillsbrad to see his brother who he had left 2 years previous.

After arriving in Southshore he learned that his brother had become crazed after the invasion of the scourge and had left Southshore to goto Western plaguelands. Setting out to find brother, it took him 2 months to track Kerizzallid, he found that his brother had become tainted and was forsaken. Thinking it was too late for his brother he tried to kill him hoping it would free his brother's soul. After a devastating fight, Rocke found he was no match for Kerazallid and tried to escape, while fleeing Kerizallid he found Kerizallid had cast a powerful and deadly curse that can't be cured. This curse will slowly kill him bringing harsh pain throughout his body, starting with his hands then spreading to his internal organs. So far the curse has only effected his right hand but he can feel it moving onto his upper arm. He feared that his brother would try and track him down and kill him. Sadly his fears came true when he was travelling through the wetlands and was ambushed by him. Luckily repelling Kerizallid to the point of fleeing again, to Menethil Harbor. once on a boat to Auberdine he found that kerizzalid had got on the boat as well undetected. He then set the boat on fire hoping it would kill Kerizallid, or at least look like he had faked his own death, however at the cost of alot of innocent civilians lives that died on that boat It hangs over him like a shadow, haunting him that he had done something to save himself which resulted in the murder of those people. Soon after he learned Kerizzalid had survived the fire and was still looking for him. After a month in hiding Rocke decided he had to change his identity.

He changed his name to Kalliades Aurios after a famous warrior from a childhood book. Putting all his paladin training behind him he spent 2 years training to become a warrior. To help settle into his new life he decided to join the scarlet crusades bastion in Stormwind hoping it may help him take his revenge on the scourge and become stronger. Now Kalliades is 22 and after his recent accident which caused his almost fatal wound on his forehead has become accustomed to life in his new life. Even though Kalliades is young he looks older than his age, this is what he was aiming for since it would make him look older and different to Rocke.

Family Background
Kalliades' father was a well known paladin of the silver hand who and got the title the one eyed coyote from a fight that lost him his eye as well as his cunningness in battle. After the birth of Rocke he retired from the Silver Hand and became a tradesmen for Southshore. however on his last trades run of the season he was murdered by elvish pirates.

Kalliades' mother was also a paladin of the Silver Hand and had got her title from what she called her worgen slayer axe. His mother was highly respected within he part of the Silver hand and he admired her greatly. But after he death he knew how he had lost a important part of his life.

Kalliades' brother Kerizallid, 6 years older than Kalliades, was the priest in the family and was also well known for his advanced learning in priesthood. At only 15 he had mastered many advanced spells and priest weapons. He excelled in fighting touraments. As well has being his brother, Kerizallid was Kalliades' rival and was always duelling him to prove who was better though Kerizallid never lost. Soon after Kerizallids corruption he had become well known within the forsaken and had risen into the high ranking positions of the forsaken army.

Kalliades treasured his fiance deeply, she was a high elf in Dalaran, she was a mage under the guidence of archmage Antonidas. They met threw Kalliades' many trips to dalaran with his parents. They knew each other from a young age and became close fiernds very quickly. When dalaran was attacked by Arthas and the scourge, Lathiana was one of the many mages that faught to stop the scourge, Lathiana managed to live through the attack but was killed during the time archimonde demolished the city. Kalliades found her body and buried her in the graveyard at SouthShore in Hillsbrad.

Criminal Record
Kalliades has caused a few stur ups with the order but has never been arrested.

Current Status
Over the weeks since the time Thepol and Imoenak were tortured and harmed, Kalliades thought he would have to gain revenge through guilt of not being there to save them, however the day before he planned to start hunting for the elliged attackers, he met an elven women by the name of Aylah. He talked to her for hours and after meeting Aylah a couple more times, he came to realise his feelings for Aylah were changing him. Kalliades also came to realise that she had been helping him get over his anger and hatred and he was becoming a much friendlier and kinder soul, however trying to keep his mind off his feelings for Aylah and staying in control of his mind.

Recently Kalliades has been trying to reconnect with his friend Hejin but the last time he was talking to Hejin, his best friend, during the end of the conversation Hejin said something to Kalliades that really hurt him and has scared him - "I will be coming to alot of power very very soon, you know my friend, you should start to be alot more careful at who you call a friend..." with that he left, Kalliades not knowing what to say or do.

Ever since meeting Aylah, Kalliades has become a nicer and much kinder person, he greets everyone with great enthusiasm, recently Kalliades has made friends with a fair few Draenei, much to the dismay of the crusade who complete distrust and hate the draenei. Xahryn, Laureen, and Naerial are all the draenei Kalliades has become fond of, and Lisindrela who he barely knows but is intrigued into talking to her more. Kalliades kinder and friendlier status has made him believe that he is "a man without emenies" and would like to be remembered for it, however since meeting Mattiaus Malvalon who would be considered kalliades' enemy, he is regretting thinking that he will be enemyless forever.
