Marcus Avantus

Marcus Avantus is the son of Tomas Avantus (deceased) and Martha Avantus.

History
The son of the Argent Crusader, Tomas Avantus, who fell during the Northrend Crusade. Marcus lived out the remainder of his teenage years without a father. His mother, having grown ill due to depression and the stress of shouldering the burden of the family, was of little help to Marcus. The Church of Stormwind extended aid to the Avantus window and her son, in respect to Tomas Avantus’ service. This aid came as a bitter sweet for the Avantus family. While it preserved the family and allowed them to continue living Stormwind, it took the pride and tenacity out of Marcus. Standing in a soup line, living on another’s generosity broke the young wild stallion who dreamed of slaying the Lich King and conquering the world. It took a boy, wild and exploding with dreams, and produced a man, stoic and pragmatic.

At the age of 20, Marcus’ days of living off the Church were over. The look in his mother’s eyes turned from protective and concerned, to expecting and disappointed. It was time for Marcus to provide for the family. The days of childhood frivolity were over. The days of taking up his father’s sword were at hand.

Marcus Avantus, son of Tomas Avantus, donned sword and shield. The boy who grew up, took up his father’s armor, and became the man that the Lich King has stolen from the Avantus family. The shoulders that once bore youthfulness and dreams, took up the yoke of responsibility and duty. Marcus Avantus, son of Tomas Avantus, stood at the brink of his future, and took the step.
