Allantrius

Name
Lord Allantrius Greendale

Physical Traits
Allan is still very much in his youth, and this shows. He has a soft face with a warm glow to it, and soft blonde hair that is neatly trimmed and combed. Along his firm chin is a small, neat goatee. His smile is warm and gentle, and will often use this when with close friends. When serious, he will always look stern and business like, frowning slightly when deep in thought.

He is somewhat taller than average with a slim but muscular build. He always stands straight and proud.

He normally wears his light plate armour, this is by no means a special looking suit of armour, but it is always clean (Unless he has recently been in combat or had something spilt/thrown on him) and polished.



"United we stand, divided we fall" (His motto to his forces)
==="No skeptics, no doubt, no criticism, could ever waver me in my undying drive to see the streets of my home kingdom clean of the filth that stains it. No questions, no insults, no hatred, could even stratch my iron will to see that the deaths of my friends, of my family, of good men, are not in vain." (When answering to 3 people debating wether his cause was worth fighting for.)=== ==="Our enemy does not eat. They do not sleep. They do not know fear of death. They are not bound by moral guidelines. They do not know mercy. But they will never have the fire that BEATS THROUGH OUR VEINS!" (Said in a speech to a group of recruits)===

Background
Allantrius was born into a noble family in the region of Tirisfal in Lordaeron. He was there, raised by his Father, Farathor, who gave him his ideals of kindness and compassion, and his Mother, Sarah, who taught him to use words and speech effectively. His sister Amiwen, was born 6 years after him.

From a young age he was taught by the knight, Ulthorn, in the ways of the holy light, though as Allantrius hit his late teens, he became very often angry and this hindered his progress. As his teens went on, Allan showed more and more signs of a rebellious and spoilt nature. His father kept disciplining Allan over the trouble he was in, but nothing seemed to work.

Just as Allantrius began to calm and improve his ways, the scourge was in its early stages, and as the scourge problem began to worsen, Allan's father decided to send Ulthorn to escort Allan, Amiwen and their mother out of the kingdom, while he was to stay and fight the oncoming threat. Much to Allan's heartbreak, Ulthorn and a couple other men escorted them out the Kingdom, though Sarah insisted on staying with her husband to the end; a request that Farathor accepted reluctantly.

They fled to Stromgarde, where they would soon here of the tradgedy faced by their home. Whilst here, Ulthorn continued to train Allan, and although he was distraught, he pressed on with it, vowing vengeance. With the loss of his Parents, he started to do his very best to be as they would have wished him to be, straightening out his ways entirely, becoming someone of kindness, intelligence, and of a caring nature.

With the fall of Stromgarde, they stayed for a short period in refuge point with the other refugees, when finally they decided to head south. Not wanting to experience the troubles of the city, they stayed in Lakeshire, but Allan was impatient, and ended his training with Ulthorn and went with his sister to Stormwind, he had come to the conclusion: "Now is the time to bring justice for our people", and looked for other survivors of the kingdom with which to unite to eliminate the Forsaken.

In these early days, Allan found the assistance of one "Lyam Creed", a death knight. Allantrius was reluctant to accept the help of one of his kind, but decided that it was necessary for the cause. He gathered the help of many others, and word soon spread, dnoations coming in from various benefactors to finance the war effort.

Later, when they had gathered enough men and money, they began to launch small guerilla attacks and sabotages on the Forsaken, slowly gathering momentum. Allan has vowed this is the beginning of something much larger.

Months later, Allantrius' commander Lyam Creed, left on a personal mission of self discovery, which then, lead to Allantrius taking control of the forces military, political, and economic sides. Allantrius then began to notice the stresses of disciplining the men, and other various strains: This made him slightly tougher, but was still a little feeble in terms of discipline.

Much Later on, they secured an outpost in Alterac, which soon came under huge resistance from Forsaken in the south, who saw this as an attempt to make a pincer movement on them. Eventually the outpost was evacuated.

Word of successes in the north, soon reached more and more survivors, leading to good numbers of men joining the ranks. The numbers began to massively bolster, as other people, more than just Lordaeronians, with sympathy to the cause, enlisted. It was here that the order began its most successful period in its short history.

As the order was in ascendancy, a cultist by the name of Zeeko poisoned Allantrius with a mind numbing poison that affected his long term memory, eventually deteoriating so badly over 2 weeks that he could not remember how to read or write. A few days into the condition, when Allan realised it would soon affect his ability to govern, he called for Cedrinn Dustwhistle to gather all the officers and form an emergency governing council that would, through terms of votes and disscussion, govern the order's military, economic, and political motions.

Eventually, when a harvest witch found a cure for Allan's condition, Allan returned to govern, but kept the council of officers and made it a primarily advisory function. If Allan wanted to know what the general opinion about an issue was, he could call a council vote.

Also around this time, Allantrius discovered that a sergeant within the order, Thurian Redpath, had been engaged in organised crime, much to Allantrius' disgust, so dispelled him almost immediately. Oscagne Spannerbolt, who thought Thurian a good soldier, protested, and left the base enraged, feeling that his view was not listened to. Allantrius held Spannerbolt in very high regard, respecting him greatly as a friend and colleague. Scared of losing him permanently, Allantrius made him second in command, a Major, however Spannerbolt insisted Thurian be spoken to about redemption. Thurian came back a few weeks later, promising to reform himself, leading to some of his former criminal friends turning on him. Thurian later explained his poor behaviour was due to a cruel encounter with a powerful warlock.

Later, in Silverpine, in Ambermill, Allantrius met a unit of alliance soldiers led by a Lord Athanas Shieldheart. together they worked in cooperation, and made good raids against the forsaken in the area. Later, after Athanas had finished his service in the alliance, Lord Shieldheart came to Allantrius to enlist, and Allantrius, respecting him greatly, made him lieutenant in a fairly short space of time.

It was around this time that Allantrius decided a reform needed to happen within the order, in light of many arrests and complaints by officers, tightening on disrespect, and misbehaviour within alliance territory, promising to rid the order of any "Disgraces", as the force had developed a reputation for terrible behaviour in Stormwind, especially in the eyes of the Stormwind guard.

The reforms came down hard, with many cuts being made to the ranks, but improvements were already being made to reputation, so this boosted recruitment in the long term, but left them at a short term fall in numbers, it was here that the order had a great number of failures, with a good number of failed attacks, momentum began to slow. However, eventually the order began to bolster, as Allan stepped up publicity within Alliance cities.

An outpost was taken in southern Alterac, in order to lead a 2 pronged attack on Tarren Mill, the other prong being from the easten Hillsbrad Foothills. This gave them some mild success, though the outpost came under attacks from the Forsaken, and ogres within Alterac. Around this time, Allantrius began greater investment in an engineering sector, recruiting a good few engineers that began work on a spider tank, and other weaponry. However the presence so close to a Forsaken stronghold, began to agitate the Forsaken so they soon lead a massive attack on the outpost that forced the order, with heavy casualities, and a couple of fatalities, to retreat from there. At this time, the force was so broken, after the massive loss, that Allantrius went into a minor depression, feeling inadequate and generally a failure. However, his friends and officers soon dragged him out of this, and returned to his normal devoted self.

A few weeks later, Allan was approached by a Lord Mathyus the Lightblessed, he asked Allan to help him retrieve a woman who had be taken by a cult, "The Embrace" as she was trying to escape their hold on her. Allantrius, wishing to improve public opinion of his force in the city of Stormwind and to fufill his moral duty to fight for the weak, agreed, and sent a good number of men to Deadwind pass, and retrieved the woman. A few weeks later, she asked to join Allantrius' crusade, to be safe from the cult, and to fight to see her former kingdom of Alterac clean of the hostiles that filled it.

While making a purchase from Mozeu's company, GNOME, of 2 long distance radios and some expolosives, Allan met a woman by the name of Kaylai Florence Miller, who after a few wines at a local tavern went to docks and kissed under the light of the moon. Allan soon realised she was tortured by a cult and felt a need to preotect her from any further harm. Allan soon fell madly in love with her, feeling that she gave him some real humanity, something he felt he had lost.

Not long later, Allan received a letter from a "Darkmoore Frostmare" challenging him to a honourable engagement. Allan remembered Kay saying that Frostmare had been the one to drag her away to her torture, so thought that he was the one responsible. Out for a quest for justice, and blinded by love, Allan went to the dual in the burning steppes, not knowing that he had accidently left the letter from Frostmare on his desk. Allan faced Frostmare, not putting up an extensive fight, he received a large wound across his chest, that would later scar. Frostmare picked up Allan by his neck, just has members of the force, as Kay had found the letter, arrived at the scene. After heated negotiations while Allan was bleeding to death by Frostmare, Major Spannerbolt decided to detonate explosives that he had set up prior to confronting Frostmare. In the confusion, Frostmare ran off, leaving Allan, however, other members of the cult affiliated with Darkmoore came to Darkmoore's aid and fought the members of the force. Allan was pulled away safely without any major casualities, but a sting of resentment was left in the cult.

After having several issues with cultists in Caer Darrow and the Scholomance, Allantrius, persuaded by callings from the military council, dispatched forces to Caer Darrow to counter the attacks on them. Though, the cultists went back into hiding underground in Scholomance, and Allan knew that he could never have the forces on standby to completely rid Scholomance of the cult of the damned inside, so soon this operation was abandoned.

He stayed behind when Allan fled from the scourge, only to perish in battle when defending Uther from the onslaught of the forces of Arthas

Sarah -

Allantrius' mother was a poet and a writer. She was also a caring person, who taught Allantrius that words can be just as powerful as any weapon or spell. Allantrius often tried to write poetry himself, and the way he speaks is predominately shaped by the teachings of his mother.
