Rubeus Barothen

Sir Rubeus Barothen is a Kul Tiran knight and paladin. Born in Drustvar, Rubeus is the sole child of Wulfric and Kendra Barothen, two ranked flag officers of the Proudmoore Admiralty. A man of action first and foremost, his hands-on approach has seen him rise to the rank of Second Lieutenant in the Kul Tiran Marines. Though he was often accused of nepotism through his parents' ranks of Rear Admiral and Flag Captain, Rubeus proved that he rose due to his own prowess and ability. Rubeus is a man of two faiths, being a paladin of the Light, yet also respects and reveres the Tides as most Kul Tirans do. Though this religious difference has caused strife with some of his fellow countrymen and soldiers, it did not prevent him from rising above it and his conviction in his dual faiths was rewarded.

Rubeus participated in the defense of Boralus when it was attacked by the Irontide Raiders and the Ashvane Trading Company. For his actions, namely his quick thinking in mobilizing a force to safeguard the lives of civilians during the Irontide's rampage, he was awarded the Navy Cross of Boralus.

Following Kul Tiras rejoining the Grand Alliance, Rubeus was amongst those chosen to be sent as an envoy to one of the Alliance nations. Though he was offered a position as envoy to the Kingdom of Stormwind aboard Captain Tandred Proudmoore's flagship, he refused it as he was uninterested in mingling with Stormwind's nobles, finding the prospect of the Stormwindian scene and ensuring political meetings dull. Instead he chose a position as envoy to the Kingdom of Gilneas, setting sail for the Ashen Coast. Though normally as an envoy he would handle things from the Kul Tiran Embassy, his tendency to handle things personally has seen him take action alongside Gilneans of the Ashen Coast against some of its threats.
