Malchio

Character Biography

Physical Appearance

He is much like his kin in appearance, average height, fel green eyes, pale skin, all the marks of a blood elf. However he always keeps his body wrapped in plate, and more often then not he includes a helm, if the helm is off his one distinguishing characteristic can be seen, a tattoo of a silver dragon starting above his right eye and curling around the outside and moving halfway under his right eye, where the tail coils about itself moving upwards towards the eye before moving out towards his cheek. The tattoo has a habit of shining whenever sunlight hits it, and if you get close enough you can see that each of the dragons scales are a word written in thalassian.

History

He spent the first sixteen years of his life on his family’s estates; they were by no means large but spacious enough to fit him and his family. He spent his days there learning sword play and riding skills from his father, or playing with his brothers and sisters and mostly avoiding trouble by trying to be the responsible elder to the rest. But his happy life was changed in a political move by his father, who traded his son to move up his house’s status, so in his sixteenth year he was taken away to be taught at Northshire Abby.

He spent the next one hundred sixty four years of his life in human lands, training and then becoming a cleric of Holy Order of Northshire Clerics. His life was now devoted to the light and spending his days healing those in need of it and trying to spread the light to others. In those years he became famed for his healing powers, but his ability to talk to those around him was lacking and he convinced few of the ways of the light.

But again the peace in his life was disturbed when the Orcs attacked he marched with the others in his order, under the orders of Archbishop Alonsus Faol. He saw many of the friends he had made fall in the conflict of the first war, and the peaceful world he had always known was shattered forever.

After the first war he found himself lost in this new world and was recruited by Uther the Lightbringer to join a new order, the Knights of the Silver Hand, and was anointed a paladin in the Alonsus Chapel in Stratholme. He later followed Uther into battle in the second war, fighting again along side his human friends.

Following the war he spent the majority or his time training new paladins in the ways of war, although he often tried to get away from the city to try and help those in need often taking those he had been training with him to give them more experience in combat. Although in some of these ventures his trainee did fall in combat, this lead to loss of standing among other paladins as well as some resentment.

His day to day life was again to change with the coming of the plague and the decimation of the order, he and his one student stood and helped fight during the third war, his service to the order keeping him too far south to help his kin when the undead attacked, only knowing of the fight after it was long over, so he went with those he still called friends within the order across the ocean. He was at the battle for Mount Hyjal, and survived the waves of demons and undead only to cross back over the ocean to face betrayal.

The resentment that had been fostered before the third war came back to haunt him as he made his way back to his homeland, he was attacked by a group of paladins that were enraged by the fact there friends died in battle while he still lived, accusing him of crimes that his kin had committed while he been coming back by boat. He was forced to kill the three of them, and act which saddened him and brought about a second betrayal. His student who had served beside him since before the war and all through it condemned him for killing fellow paladins, and despite trying to convince her of his innocence the confrontation was again brought to blows, and he won by dealing a mortal blow to her.

After her death he walked away from the world, spending his time away in solitude and reflection trying to find a way to redeem himself in his own eyes for killing his student. He spent a year and a half in seclusion before he was disturbed yet again; Lady Liadrin came to him and convinced him to fight for his kin, playing on his guilt for both killing his student and not being there to help defend Silvermoon. He spend the next six months helping to train new blood knights, trying to make them into real warriors, but found no want to train others anymore. After the sixth months he founded a sub order within the blood knights, which consisted of him, a year and a half past before others joined the order but inner conflicts tore the newly founded order apart a mere few months later.

Since the disbandment of the rest of his order he has thrown himself on the front line, leading troops into combat with the undead, in an attempt to get himself killed in combat, but so far he has always come back, but most of his men do not. These events have started to twist his mind and spirit, sending him down a dark path.
