Balmius Chorster

Appearance
Balmius stands tall, as he is 6'1 and weighs about 200 lbs. He is built, stocky, and is fit. Dirty-blond hair covers his head and face, as he sports a scraggly beard that covers his face and chin. His eyes are a chocolate brown color and usually appear weary. His skin is a tan from working outside daily.

History
Balmius was born in Westfall to a poor family with little luxuries. His father, Grizol Randolph, was a drunk and so his wife left him, leaving Balmius motherless. To help raise the child, Grizol called for his long time friend to help raise Balmius. Together, they supplied enough food and shelter for Balmius to survive and he eventually grew into his teenage years, becoming more and more interested in serving for the Stormwind army, as his guardians had done so.

When Balmius hit the age of eighteen, he enlisted for the Army and was accepted my Lord Maxen Montclair of the First Regiment. Balmius was thrilled, finally fulfilling his dream of serving for the Alliance and Stormwind. As he grew into his twenties, he learned much about warfare and the Alliance under the banner of Stormwind. Eventually, Balmius was fully instated into the Regiment after much training.

Eventually, Balmius felt the need to go north, as a friend of his had asked for his help reclaiming Alterac. He obliged, helping the Dominion of Alterac on their quest to reclaim Alterac from the hostile ogres that inhabited the area. Once successful, he was made a Knight of Alterac by Sir Meldrek Crawford. Later on, Balmius felt the urge to return south and serve once more for the Regiment and the Alliance. After some thought, Balmius decided it would be best to head to Stormwind and return to the Regiment.

Once more, Balmius was back with the Regiment, having learned and grew from his past experiences he was a much more hardened and experienced soldier. This resulted in him quickly rising the ranks to Sergeant and having the responsibility to help train the young Recruits and Privates of the Regiment. After some time, he would return to his home of Westfall, soon learning that his home had burned to the ground and that his parents could not be found. Shortly thereafter, Grizol located Balmius and they were once more reunited. His other guardian, however, was still to be found to this day.

Balmius soon answered the call of the Alliance to defend Azeroth and head to Draenor to battle the deadly Iron Horde, where he helped the Regiment clear out the vile Shadowmoon Orc Clan from Shadowmoon Valley.

Balmius continues to serve The First Regiment as a Sergeant and is currently stationed in Draenor fighting the Iron Horde.
