Physical Description
Traven is a youthful looking man who appears to be in his late twenties. He looks heavily built and is obvious he has gone through rigourus physical training through the years. His hair is neatly trimmed and golden and his skin is fresh looking with no visible scars. He wears expensive clothing when not wearing his Dalaran uniform during his studies.

Background
As like most males in the Thalon-Prichard house, Traven studied as a paladin during his youth. As was expected from his father, the first Lord Traven Thalon-Prichard, Traven II joined the Stormwind military where he served from his early adult life for a number of years. The training and experiences learnt would mould young Traven into the role of Lord over the Thalon-Prichard house when his father passes.

The position would come sooner than expected after his fathers untimely death. Found murdered in the Stormwind canals, Traven senior had left the inherited title of Earl of the Eastern Banks to his son. The newly appointed lord took the role without question and immediately left the military to settle the turmoil within his House the death of his father had caused.

The reasoning behind his fathers death had never been fully understood, and with the murderer still at large, Traven and his mother Fredia appealed to the Stormwind guards to continue their investigations. However at the time the guards service was lacking management and it was clear that the investigation would never be solved if left to them, Traven then saw to it that he would discover the truth himself.

After learning that his father had developed a few rivalries within the city, Traven began making arrangements that would see him get close to the suspects. One particular suspect was Lord Richeron Withamhall who was coincidently a teacher at the University of Dalaran where his uncle was headmaster. Seeing a perfect opportunity to get close to Withamhall, Traven finally gave in to his uncles request and enrolled in the University. To ensure that Traven got every chance to speak to Withamhall, Fredia (who was Nelson's sister) asked for Richeron specifically to teach her son as a battlemage.

Since Traven has kept up appearances by acting the model student while still gathering more evidence about his beloved fathers death.

Family History
House Thalon-Prichard

Notes.
Traven is a honourable man and seeks justice, however his mother Fredia holds the same prejudices as her husband and is convinced Richeron is behind his death. Whether Traven believes it himself is unknown.

The Thalon-Prichard and Withamhall families had long been strong allies until recently when resentment about ownership of land had caused friction between the two houses. Both houses still have strong bonds though rivalries have flared over the last few years.

Traven is considered an aspiring battlemage. His former training is that of a paladin though through practice it is only the physical expertise he has learnt that he has applied to his current venture. His arcane abilities are still weak but his melee skills are still more than a match for some.

Current Status
Training under Lord Richeron Withamhall as a battlemage in the University of Dalaran.
