Background
John was born in Westfall in a family of millers. He had an older brother and later had a an younger brother. Darrick, the oldest brother, often was the favored one of the brothers by the father. John often found himself in jealous thoughts against his brother, and of how he never could be enough. John liked his grandfather, Aldraen, very much and often spent days with him. Aldraen had been a hunter alongside with the work as a miller, and taught young John everything he knew of it.

When they grew older, John grew to stand in his brother's shadow yet more. John picked up a drinking habit, keeping a bottle or two hidden inside his room. As he neared his 18th anniversary, he began to like a neighbour girl a few years older than him, but she ignored him and Darrick took her instead.

Two weeks after it happened, Darrick caught John drinking in secret. When he said he would tell father, something in John snapped as all his hate for his brother come up to the surface. Flying into a half-drunken, half-hating rage, he beat his brother to death. When he realised what he had done, he only packed a few things with him before fleeing the mill.

John ended up in the forests of Elwynn. He stayed on his own for a few weeks, using his hunting skills to survive. He then emerged out of the wilderness, finding himself near the Eastvale Logging Camp. To earn money for a living to pay for roof over his head, he started working with the group of hunters of the area, proving himself to be quite a skilled archer. It was in that group he later fell in love with Sarah Tanner, one of the hunters. They later married and after a year or two, Sarah gave birth to John's son who John named Aldraen, after his beloved grandfather. Sarah settled down to become a housewife, helping in their home and aiding with curing leather.

When Aldraen grew older, John wanted him to follow in his footsteps and become a hunter. His son did as John wanted, but showed far more interest in books and asking everybody questions instead. This wasn't something John respected, as he had no high thoughts of weak scholars, when John couldnt read. This intensified his drinking habit, which he never gave up after fleeing Westfall. Whenever he would drink, he could become bitter over his life and angry at those around him, which sometimes brought him to hit Sarah. She never left him though, as she was partly afraid of what John would do, and partly still loving her husband.

Things stayed so for a couple of years, untill John did the mistake of going on a hunting trip when still intoxicated after a drinking session. Overjudging his abilities, he missed a shot on a brown bear, which lead to said bear mauling him to death. His son grieved for the loss of his father, and so did Sarah. After the son left for Stormwind, Sarah only stayed in Eastvale for half-a-year before traveling off from her old home, free from the shackles of her half happy, half unhappy marriage. She went back to the life she had before settling down, the life of a traveling hunter.
