Roark Mendenhall

Roark "Savage" Mendenhall (Born Roark Alexander Mendenhall, 28 June, 570 K.C.) is a Lordaeron-borne soldier. Roark is a well-reserved yet hesitant soldier. Although he is seen as an enemy he has demonstrated a high sense of honor and a willingness to come to terms with the Horde. Although he is loyal to his faction does not mean he agrees with the ruthlessness shown by his leaders. He was given the nickname "Savage" by his comrades as an irony to mock his stance in war tactics.

Roark begins his Military Career by joining the Lordaeron Military, rose through the ranks during the First and Second War. After the destabilization of Lordaeron, Roark continues his military career by joining the Grand Alliance Military.

 

=[Physical Appearance]=

Roark is the embodiment of what an honorable soldier is in that he is essentially made for battle. Roark physically looked like a man in his late 50's. He has a short, side-parted greying black hair, a full, greying black beard with a greying walrus mustache and brown eyes with one of them cloudy from the battle. His skin was marked with deep wrinkles due to his age. He had a distinguishable birthmark on his bottom lip and a mole near the bridge of his nose. Although possessing a somewhat heavy built, he was yet able to fight with ease against his foes.

Much like the other marshals, he wore the set of golden armor, though it had been modified with more accentuated black linings.

 

=[Personality]=

Roark Mendenhall is one of the most prominent military officer and tactician in the Grand Alliance Military. Aside from his excellent strategic skills and swordsmanship, Roark is an intimidating individual who immediately asserts that both his enemies and comrades should be afraid of him, Roark is widely respected among his peers. Roark has proven to be capable of being merciful and stubbornly withhold honors in any circumstances.

To his credit, Roark is both dangerous and loyal in equal measure - being one of the most trusted Officers in the Alliance, he does not blindly follow his superior's orders, without hesitation, he will outright refuse to act if the order does not align with his compassionate and honor-bound nature. Yet, he devoted himself to the task of fighting the Horde in support of the plan that the Alliance had. His respect and love for the Alliance know no bounds.

Roarke is capable of working with his enemies, albeit rather begrudgingly at first. Even though he stated outright that he hated forsaken more than anything, he advanced his capacity to adapt by working with the enemies. Roark' benevolent side was more prevalent in the cities, in which he was depicted as a caring gentleman who sought to punish evildoers and bring peace to Azeroth, even empathizing with his friend, a member of the New Horde, grievances against the Horde's ideology despite all of the terrible things Horde had done. Even though he had a benevolent side, he has some negativity within him.

=[Armors and Weapon]=

Field Marshal Armor
Much like the other marshals, he wore the set of golden armor, though it had been modified with more accentuated black linings.

The shoulders are oval, quite short and enormous. They're decorated with a metal blade, starting at the front, curving towards the back and ending in a sharp point. The upper arms are protected by rounded, half covering rerebraces which sit quite well under the shoulderplates. The lower arms are covered by vambraces which have a large sharkfin-like spike attached to each outer side. The breastplate is made from a couple of layers of metal, mimicking dragon scales. It covers the entire front and back side, but the attachment straps leave the sides under the arms exposed. The upper legs are covered by rounded, fully covering cuisses. The lower legs are protected by greaves which have rows upon rows of small metal piece, mimicking dragon scales, this beautiful set was accommodated to Roark's preferences.
