[[Image:Alliancecrest_small.gif]] Background
Ruthgar was born to a family of beggars and poor farmers of the land. During the first war, when Ruthgar was still but a baby... His father, a man called Baeldrun. Was approached to enlist for the fight during the first war. He did so at once and he took his family with him. The years growing up as a child were hard for Ruthgar. He was raised on the field of battle and taught from an early age the arts of war and the virtues of honour,respect,valour,courage and above all- mercy. He was enlisted as a conscript into the the alliance of lordaeron's army at the age of twelve. He recieved harsh training until the age of fifteen when he was given the offical rank of 'private'. His father,Baeldrun was killed several months later,he died in battle against the burning legion -killed a Lieutenant- and his mother had moved back to the green hills of Hillsbrad to live out her last years. Ruthgar fought during the second war, now a senior officer of the 'scarlet mission'. News had reached his ears of the missions decent into madness and handed in his transfer to the Alliance Vanguard - the Alliance's elite soldiers. He was swiftly promoted to Major, known as the golden major due to the nature of not knowing his family name and the golden armour he wore. He took temporary leave when he met Caedra, his wife to be. Ruthgar and Caedra settled down in the town of lakeshire. She later gave birth to two sons- Cain and Kasander. News had reached them of Dalarans destruction and he was ordered to join the northrend invasion and he,like his father,took his family with him. He had met Hundruin again during the northrend invasion, alas... they were stationed at different fortresses and they parted ways again. The fort that Ruthgar was in command of was attacked in icecrown by a scourge legion and his family were killed and transformed before his eyes. He was then turned also until recently. He now resumes his duty to the alliance on the front lines.

[[Image:Alliancecrest_small.gif]] Personal Notes
Ruthgar is desperate to learn of the mysterious things that the light has done to him recently, a holy symbol burned into his skin, a seal of the paladins of light mysteriously appearing on his hammer. Ruthgar is a devoted worshipper of the light, he realises now he has to cherish it after what the scourge had done to him and his family. Ruthgar is also very quick to anger, simply say "your a death knight" "you couldnt compare to a real soldier" or "you fight for nothing" or phrases similar to that and your proabably minutes away from a bar brawl or broken ribs. Also the army is all that Ruthgar has left, you slander the army - your as good as dead.
