Tytos Blackvale

Appearance
Lord Tytos had been a handsome man in his youth, tall and gallant as any great Knight of Lordaeron--coal-black hair, a sculpted brow, deep brown eyes and chiseled features that caught the eye of many young ladies when he'd visit Stratholme or Capitol City. His Father had been no less handsome and his Mother, Lady Melysa Soren was said to have been one of the most beautiful women in all of Lordaeron. It came as no surprise that the product of their union had been so comely. Despite the effects of war, he has certainly aged well. At six-and-forty, Tytos Blackvale is no less formidable than some men who were decades his junior and in spite of the loss of his right eye, he is still a handsome man, albeit in a more rugged sense.

Background
Son of Lord Stanek Blackvale and Lady Melysa Soren, Tytos was the first of three children and the heir to a small province between Wolf's Crossing and Osric's Anvil known simply as The Vale. Prior to his Lord-Father's elevation, the Blackvales were a line of landed Knights, loyal to the house of Menethil. Tytos began training at an early age and by the time he was four-and-ten, showed remarkable speed and skill for a young man of his size. He was sent to squire for his Uncle, Sir Gerald Soren at the age of five-and-ten and performed his duties well beyond Sir Gerald's expectations.

Knighthood
At the age of eight-and-ten, Tytos was Knighted for showing exceptional bravery and slaying the men responsible for the brutal rape and murder of Lady Tabitha Whithall. He was trained in the ways of the Holy Light and selected to serve the newly-created Order of the Silver Hand beside his dear friend, Darion Madarin of Stone Hearth. At Alonsus Chapel in Stratholme, Tytos was anointed a paladin of Lordaeron just months before his father died fighting the orcs.

First Marriage
Tytos was betrothed to Lady Dianna of house Gray at the age of seven-and-ten and just six months later, the two were married. Dianna bore him two sons and two daughters.

The Scarlet Crusade
When the undead scourge descended upon Lordaeron and Tytos resigned himself to the fact that the Vale would be lost, he journeyed with his family and his people to the Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal, where he would be reunited with many former Knights of the Silver Hand. Tytos felt as though the Crusade was where he belonged and devoted himself entirely to the training of the order's new paladins and the eradication of the undead scourge. Sadly, his later years in the Crusade would be marred by tragedy, including the deaths of his wife and their two sons. Shortly after his sons were slain, Tytos left the Scarlet Monastery with his daughters and resided at the Tower of Rosegarde as the guest of his dear friend, Edric Blackmorn.

The Lord Of Rosegarde
After Edric Blackmorn was murdered by assassins, Tytos aided the Blackmorns in crushing the Tolvan uprising, after which, he served briefly as Rosegarde's Regent. For fighting so valliantly beside his allies, Tytos was named Lord of Rosegarde in exchange for swearing an oath of fealty to the house of Blackmorn. Tytos and his two daughters would reside at Rosegarde for the next year.

A New Marriage
Lady Lorrain Blackmorn was a woman above his station and so it had come as no surprise when her father refused to entertain the thought of a betrothal, but as a result of her many indiscretions after she'd come of age, offers for her hand had come fewer and fewer. She was young and even more beautiful than her mother, but Lorrain Blackmorn's reputation had been so tarnished by scandal it was said that she was as wild as the wolves her house had taken for its sigil. Tytos knew she would not be faithful to him at first, but he didn't care. A marriage between them would be the foundation of a great legacy and in time, he was certain he could tame her.

With the old wolf dead, his eldest son, Lord Darion Blackmorn was left to decide who his Sister would wed and Tytos never missed an opportunity to remind the young lord of his unfaltering loyalty and the great service he had done for his house. Darion had made numerous inquiries in search of a better marriage for Lorrain, but his efforts yielded him nothing. It was with no small measure of frustration that Darion resigned himself to what must be done and finally consented to the marriage. The two were wed in a small ceremony, held at Summer Hall with fewer than thirty guests in attendance. Lorrain was said to have been so intoxicated during the reception that she nearly fell on the dance floor during her first dance with her new husband.

Currently
After slaying an assassin in the defense of Lady Edevyn Albrecht, Tytos was reunited with his wife at Queen's Landing. Having left Sir Varic Soren to watch over Lady Edevyn, Tytos and his wife returned to Summer Hall less than two days after his arrival on Pandaria. Their marriage has not been the most pleasant, but since their return, the couple have been trying to have children.

Having received word from Dawnshire and the Reach of a large forsaken host on the move, Tytos and his wife have returned to Rosegarde, where he has been ordered by Darion Blackmorn to assemble a host and deal with the forsaken while the Knights of the Silver Hand evacuate Dawnshire. He was slain while attempting to break the forsaken siege and beheaded by Forsaken Commander, Terrence Bishop.
