Physical Appearance
Vogin is average height for a human. You can clearly see he is a warrior, due to his large larger muscles. His skin is dark and pale, and the hair is grey. He has a large scar running down from his left eyebrow to his cheek. The air around is cold and very chilling, and a blue fire burns in his eyes. In his beard and his his hair you can clearly see some frost, and his breath is so cold it's foggy.

The Early Days.
Vogin Naevalon was born 38 years ago in Redridge Mountains during a hars winter. During this winter, the Blackrock Orcs from Burning Steppes sacked the city of Redridge. The parents of Vogin fled to Dun Morogh, seeking passage to Menethil Harbor. Here, they were slain by trolls, not far from Gol'Bolar Quarry. The trolls left Vogin to die in the bitter cold, but - to his luck - he was found by dwarves. The Amberstill family, from Amberstill Ranch took him in as one of their own, and raised him as a blacksmith. This toughened him, as he was forced to help out at the quarry gathering metals for the forging of weapons. At the tender age of 16 he crafted his own sword - "Bright Dawn" - which he still has today.

Becoming a Paladin.
When Vogin wasn't working for his father, he often took time to visit the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City, to listen to the priests preaching the Holy Light. At the age of 20 he decided to leave his home of Amberstill to become a Paladin. For many years he studied and trained to become a champion of the light. He eventually succeeded and was recruited to the fight in the Western Plaguelands.

The Love.
It was in the plagued lands of Lordaeron he met the love of his life. Marilyn was her name and she was a volunteer in the Argent Dawn, tending the wounded and making food for the soldiers. It was love at first sight. They became married, and Marilyn gave birth to two boys - Jacob and Michael. To keep Marilyn and the boys away from harm, they moved to Hillsbrad Foothills, further away from the battles. Here, the family bought a farm in the Hillsbrad Fields, and lived as farmers.

A Fateful Day.
Vogin still served in the Argent Dawn and thus, was involved in many battles with the scourge. One Fateful day, he was sent with a regiment of paladins to Stratholme, in an attempt to recover the ravaged city. In a battle with the abomination known as Ramstein the Gorger, he was struck by a mighty blow. Only his strong plate armor kept him from being torn in half. Along with many of the other paladins, he died. After the remaining regiment had fled the city, The Lich King came to inspect. He found the fallen paladins and was impressed by their valor, and saw a potential for them in his own undead army. They were risen, and would once again fight for cause. But not a cause of their own.

Serving His Will.
As a Death Knight, Vogin was under command of The Lich King. He served the will of Arthas without hesitation. Along with many other risen knights, he razed the lands of Lordaeron. Burning every settlement, and killing the inhabitants and raising the strongest as servants of Arthas. He rose up in the ranks of the Lich King and become one of the strongest and most brutal death knights of The Scourge. One day the Lich King granted him a mighty runeblade known as the Greatsword of the Ebon Blade. In order to fully initialize the blade, he was ordered to go to an internment camp in the now ruined New Avalon, and slay them all and drench the blade in their blood. He swung his sword with a ferocity unlike anything the other Death Knights had ever seen. But when he got to the last small group of prisoners, he stopped. The Woman and to boys looked at Vogin with much fear in their eyes. She recognized his face, and he recognized hers. It was Marilyn. For a few short seconds the Lich Kings power vaned in him. He was stunned. She stuttered the words: "Vogin?". In a split second, his eyes blackened and then lit up with blue fire. He Lich King once again stole his will, and forced unwilling action upon the family. In a few violent bursts of rage, the family was slain by the hands of Vogin. As he saw his family lying, bleeding on the ground, he was stunned. He could not believe what he had done. Then the Lich King whispered to him: "Come to me, my champion and i shall reward you...". When he returned to the Ebon Hold, he was greeted by Darion Mograine and Arthas. He was honored for his effort, and recieved a circlet with a runic inscription saying; "Deathbane" - signifying his devotion to the Scourge. GAME START

The Battle for Light's Hope.
The day had come for the scourge to strike a mighty blow to the Argent Dawn, and destroy their forward bastion of Light's Hope Chapel. As a champion of the Scourge, Vogin was charged to lead an army of 10.000 undead, along with Darion Mograin and other high ranking Scourge leaders. It seemed like a fight which couldn't be lost. 10.000 undead against 300 devout soldiers. But this was on holy ground and the Lich King knew this. The undead forces was defeated, and Vogin along with Darion Mograine and a few other Death Knights surrendered. Highlord Tirion Fordring of the Argent Dawn came to talk some sense into Darion, to make him see he was under the Lich Kings command. The Lich King arrived and Darion charged him, but he was struck down by the awesome power of the Lich King. Arthas revealed he had sent his forces into battle, only to lure out Tirion, so he could slay him. They battled, but Tirion was too strong, and Arthas fled to Northrend. Vogin and the Death Knights - now, no longer slaves of the Lich King - stood helpless, as they regain their minds and memories. Tirion spared the Death Knights and Darion declared the Knights of the Ebon blade, allies of the Argent Dawn and the Alliance.

Regaining His Life.
In a split second, the memories of Vogin came crashing down on him. Like a house of cards, Vogin fell to the ground as he remembered the things he had done. The countless lives taken as a Death Knight and the slaying of his own family! Vogin immediately mounted his Death Charger and headed for Stormwind. When he arrived, word of the Death Knights allegiance to the Alliance was allready known. Though the citizens of the Alliance was not happy to see him. They spat on him, and threw rotten fruit in his face. But he did not care. He headed for one place only; The Cathedral of Light. He needed to go there. He needed salvation for the things he'd done. But as he arrived in the court yard, he trembled. He fell on the stairs of cathedral and burst into tears as he saw his memories flash before his eyes and how he had taken the lives of his own family. He tried to get up and enter the cathedral. He could not enter. It was wrong for him to enter such a holy place, after the sins he had committed. He needed redemption first and there was only one way. Arthas had to die!

Present
As of now, Vogin lives in the Ebon Hold. He sometimes travels to Stormwind and stays at the inn for a few days, before going back. He can often be found with his book, where he writes down his memoires, and poetry. When he's not enjoying the simple life in Azeroth, he can be found in Outland, banishing to hordes of demons to regain his strength so he can travel to Northrend and confront Arthas.

Future
During his time as a Death Knight in the scourge he hasn't had a lot of time for his mining and blacksmithing, so he has lost his touch. He needs to "get back in the game", so to speak.
 * Mining/Blacksmithing

As a part of his redemption, he wants to find his old paladin armor and have it blessed in the Cathedral of Light.
 * Paladin Armor

His rank and title of Argent Champion was stricken from him, as he defected. He wants to regain his reputation amonst the old Argent Dawn and the newly formed Argent Crusade, so he can once again bear his title.
