Body
A rather unremarkable looking man with neat brown hair and beard. Average size and build. He has a pair of dark green eyes and a slightly irregular nose. He usually wears his blue robes, but will ocasionally vary. Can always be seen with what apears to be a gnomish pocket watch and an old sword, with a small crystal at the hilt, glowing at his side. He walks swiftly, as if in a slight hurry, and often seems distracted, his eyes darting around.

Mind
Squire of the Silver Hand - Basic tutelage at the Northshire Abbey under Sir Purcifel Arbenlight.

Battle Mage - Taught by Magi Nelson DeBreton; recognised by Archmage Francus Pestle of the Kirin Tor.

Linguist - Recognised by the Stormwind Library as specialist in Thalassian and Kalimag.

Spirit
"He is often distracted by his own thoughts, hindering his ability to deal with his surroundings beyond a very general level. When focused and dealing with very familiar subjects that interest him he may show surprisingly effective results and a good memory. Unfortunately, he is rarely focused when frustrated, stressed or in panic, and can act foolishly. He's mostly pacific, but has been known to have violent moments in stressful situations." - Professor Roudfus Fizzlespark

"He's a good guy. A bit boring, I suppose, but loyal. I like that in a man. And hey, he makes Liz happy, so it's all good." - Merwyn Lindor Morghani

"Withamhall? What dim bleeder, and a nosey git to boot!" - Mage Nelson DeBreton

"He'd make a horrible buisnessman." - Lord Montywort Thandrel

"That weirdo who thinks he's a mage." - Nelinde Belgarde

Life
Richeron's Family had already fled to Khaz Modan by the time the First War started. There, between the First and Second Wars, Richeron was born and there he lived till the end of the Second war. The whole family then returned to Northshire, where they have lived before the First War, and re-built the old family farm. Richeron's parents sent Richeron to learn the ways of the Paladins in the Abbey at an early age. However, Richeron showed little talent or interest in using weapons, so instead he spent his time reading a large section of the Abbey's library and learning three languages. At the age of 21, he moved to Stormwind where he became a Librarian at the Royal Library. In the space of a few months he became member of the Mercenary Alliance and of the Royal Apothecary Society of Stormwind.

Soon after he joined the RAS, Richeron found out about the existence of a secret evil organisation known as the Dark Embrace. In paralel, Richeron discovered that he was a direct descendant of an old noble Stormwind family. More research revealed him to be the heir of the title. He was most embaraced and decided to leave the issue alone. He only revived his title when it gave him the oportunity of doing good at the Assembly of Stormwind.

Some time ago, Richeron was contacted by Esme Underwood, through the elf Fae Ratbane. They briefly discused a few scientific studies regarding the Undead situation and Richeron soon contacted his friend, Professor Berdrin Stormspanner, to help him. However, Berdrin grew attached to Fae, who aparently was as little more than an indentured slave to the Undead, and attmepted to free her of Esme's iron grip. He succeded, but, as a consequence, Fae lost her singing voice.

In order to help Fae recover her voice, Richeron contacted Fredon Náad. During the meeting with Fredon Náad and Annarima LaVey, Richeron was druged and a Demon was inserted in to his body. During, the next few days, Richeron unwittingly lived with two extra minds: that of the demon and that of a human called Maenon, who had recently died. As time went by, Richeron became slowly aware of the existence of another mind within his brain. However, most of the time the two minds remained dormant. The situation only altered in Ambermill, when Nathaniel Wheeler was being controled by his father. In the presence of the power energy node, the demon surfaced and started absorving the energy himself. A fight between the demon and Count Wheeler senior resulted in the Count's aparent defeat and in Nathaniel losing his mind. During the next few days, Richeron started showing extremely odd behaviour, and was soon talking gibberish with trees. Fortunatly, Merwyn Lindor Morghani, who was an old friend of Richeron's, used her unique knowledge of Essence Magic to find the demon and banishing it to an unkown location. Merwyn absorved the mind of the human Maenon, adding him to her collection. Richeron is now completely sane again.

Soon after Elizabetha Istro lost her eyes and when Honoria Detol Redcross vanished for a few days, Richeron went to the Blasted Lands in search of Honoria. Instead, he fell down a hole in to a complex of strange underground crypts of unkown origin. Inside, he found a strange glowing Orb and a few strange artifacts. After a few hours he managed to find an escape in time to reach one of the meetings of the Assembly of Stormwind.

During the time Elizabetha Istro recovered from the traumatic experience that lost her eyes, Richeron started having strange feelings towards her that were mostly new to him. Richeron only fully understood his feelings for Elizabetha when he started disliking men who gave Elizabetha flowers and were general too curteous of her. Elizabetha didn't take long to realise this and tactfuly reminded him of her vows. However, Richeron remained by her side as much as he could during the difficult times that followed and, to his utter shock and amazement, she started returning his feelings for her.

Sometime later, Richeron was seen reading a letter by the mail box and then running to the gryphon masters. Sonn after, he was seen in Darnassus asking around for information. He then vanished for a few days, until he was found hurt and sick at the Moonglade, by Elizabetha. At the Moonglade, Richeron asked Elizabetha Istro to marry him. On the 17th of February, Richeron was married to Elizabetha Istro by Sister Suzanne Bellmarsh at the Tomb of Uther the Lightbinger. They went to the Hinterlands on their Honeymoon. Very soon after, Elizabetha became preagnant.

When Richeron was attacked by the Nutcracker Gang in Stormwind, and Elizabetha almost lost her life and burden to a bullet, they moved to the Outlands. They returned to Stormwind some weeks later, but almost immideately left again.

Richeron's children, Annika and Iohannus were delivered in Ashenvale on the 17th of June by Nouala Ravenwind. The happiness of the ocasion was, however, interrupted by Nelson DeBreton who told Richeron of the final prophecy relayed by Nathaniel 'Telrunya' Wheeler and of his death. This profecy foretold that the spirit of Malory Wheeler, imprisoned in a crystal held by Richeron, would be freed and would bring his revenge upon Richeron by murdering his family. Shook by the death of his friend, but above all by the danger he had placed his family in, Richeron panicked. Angered by Richeron's foolishness, Elizabetha left with the Children to a secret location. Meanwhile Richeron, was tasked to take the crystal to the Naaru at the Exodar to have it destroyed. To his horror, the Wheeler family Gnome servant turned up and stole the crystal. Richeron returned to his family, made peace with his wife and they moved to the Exodar. During the next few days, they were twice attacked by the reborn Malory Wheeler, but ultimately defeated him.
