Dramatis Personae

Here's a quick run down of my characters RP-wise:

Alexei Stefan Almarov-Quillain
"The Lorekeeper"

Race: Human
Class: Paladin
Age: 33

Almarov was born in Moonbrook (that ruined town in Westfall) just before the opening of the dark portal and the start of the First War. His father was killed in the preliminary skirmishes against the Old Horde whilst trying to flee to the relative safety of Stormwind City. Eventually, when the city fell his mother took him North with the rest of the refugees to Lordaeron.

Almarov's mother began work cleaning the houses of wealthy nobles, lacking much in the way of special skills, and eventually got married to Reginald Quillain - A rich and influencial widower.

Whilst growing up in Capital City he played around with his new step-brother, Drayvik, where Almarov was relentlessly beaten in fights by the classically trained and aggressive youngster. Whilst spending time recovering in his room he managed to get ahold of books about the Light and when he was old enough he travelled South to the newly rebuilt Northshire Abbey in order to train as a priest.

The main catalyst for Almarov training as a paladin, rather than continuing life happily amongst his books was when he learned that his mother and Drayvik had been killed in events surrounding the plague up North. Eventually electing to join the Theramore Marines, Almarov was stationed for some time as a diplomatic ataché in Darnassus, where he became close friends with Nelspa Moonraven.

Overall, Almarov is a quiet and composed man who values loyalty and compassion above all else, but has a tendency to assume the best from people and over-analyse situations. When not slicing undead monsters into ribbons he can usually be found with his nose deep inside a book on religious philosophy (he is especially fond of the new Draenei approach to faith) or spending time with his friend Nelspa.


Recent Developments:

Almarov has temporarily resigned his commision to the Alliance military (due to their constant squabbling with the Horde rather than the more pressing threat) and has instead headed to Northrend alongside the Argent Crusade with the aim of breaking down the doors to Icecrown.

...He has yet to meet up with Drayvik.


Drayvik Quillain

Race: Undead Human
Class: Death Knight
Age: 35

Sharing much of the same upbringing with Alexei, the only major difference is where Drayvik was sent away to train in sword fighting and infantry command, eventually being stationed as a mid-level officer in Andorhall - Two weeks before the Scourge attack and the sacking of the town.

Raised as a second generation Death Knight, Drayvik served as an instructor in Acherus for two years before the Battle for Light's Hope. Recently, having been freed from the control of the Lich King, Drayvik seems happy to squander his second chance at "life" with a suicidal attempt at revenge for his undead state.



I'll post more as I flesh out their backstories and personalities.
