Cedric Elengarde

Cedric Elengarde is a loyal soldier of The Grand Alliance and an embattled, experienced Knight of Stormwind.

Description
Lord-Commander Cedric Elengarde is a human standing tall at 6'3". His stature and fit build betray the long years of war this man has seen. His face gives off the appearance of someone who was once quite handsome, though much of his better facial features are now masked by scars and calloused skin. An eyepatch covers the man's right eye, a large, deep scar snaking its way beneath it.

He walks with a purpose, posture neat and clean, often giving away his military background.

Cedric is rarely without armor of some shape or form, and it can be safely assumed that, even when he appears unarmed, he has some sort of weapon on his person. He keeps a multitude of weapons, and his choice of them often varies.

Through the first, second and third wars, he was forced to watch friends and family fall to the axes, spears and magics of the Horde.

Through the years that followed, Cedric was eventually bequeathed his family's lands, only to have the nation fall into dire straits. Cedric and his House guard were overrun by the Syndicate from one front and the Ogres from the other. His estate in ruin, Cedric was forced to flee, being taken in by the nearby Duchy of Brightdale in Arathi, Cedric and what remained of his house were inducted into the Duchy's militia.

In Brightdale, Cedric put under the command of Commanders Taliesien Xantos and Nordoren Thorlumos. The two Commanders led a
