Biography


Eligar was born of Amelia and Ellikar Surwood. Born and raised in Lakeshire Redridge, his parents soon discovered Eligar's potential in communicating with the Light.

At the age of twelve they send him to Stormwind to become a servant of the Light. From there he was send to Northshire Abbey to begin his training. Eligar soon learned that the Paladins of Stormwind were little more then an elite guard for the Nobles when the Cathedral wasn't looking, rather then the legendary protectors as he had imagined them. After learning that, he decided to decline his title as Paladin and choose to become a Quest Knight instead. Eligar was twenty years old now and doing mostly freelancing work for the villagers of Stormwind's lands.

Though the responsibility and the weight of ever kill he made became a greater and greater burden on him. At the age of thirty one he decided to 'retire'. He returned to Lakeshire and went to live in his old parents' house. (Who had ironicly moved to Stormwind)

Even at young age, Eligar seemed very interested in books and studying. He thinks very highly of Arcane users for their unsurpassable knowledge and intellect. He thought it would be important for the world to evolve themself and decided to open a bookstore named Wisdom's Corner.

Eligar's Quest
A few years after he set up his shop in Lakeshire, the King returned and Lord Tirion Fordring led the Argent Crusade into Northrend. Feeling as if he had never really uphold his duty as a 'Paladin', Eligar decided to pick up the title of Quest Knight once again. Travelling from town to town, he now looks for honour and glory. Helping villagers from bandits or monsters.

After a few weeks of questing, Eligar got contacted by a man named Osmund, the leader of a group of mercenaries called the Northwind Free Company. He offered Eligar to join the Company and through that earn his honour. Eligar accepted.

Through determination Eligar quickly got promoted to corporal, Sergeant and then Lieutenant. Eligar was pleased with how the Company was led. Captain Osmund was a honorable man and a born leader. The reply was bitter when the members of the Company found out that Captain Osmund was to be replaced with a new man. Colonel Ceadric and Captain Matafleur. New mercenaries quickly joined the ranks of the Free Company. Some highly disciplined, others rabble, fighting purely for either the money or the enjoyment of battle.

Eligar pulled back a little from his duties of Sergeant. Not fully trusting the new leadership. Ceadric was a kinda man, and as Osmund had been, a born leader. His second in command was Lady Matafleur. Both of them were kind people and Eligar soon started to trust them. Osmund was rarely seen since then and Eligar had accepted the new leadership and tried regaining the troops favour and respect.

Knighthood and the disapearing of Eligar
After gaining enough honour. Eligar was knighted.

Riding under the banner of the Order of the Quest, a sub group of the Northwind Free Company. Not long after that, Eligar disapeared from the face of Azeroth.

He was last seen travelling to Icecrown to meet up with the Argent Crusade.
