Carver J. Aleckson

"It is not the strength of our blades, nor the brunt of our most durable of armaments, No. But it is the faith humanity holds that which secures the greatest of victories. Their innate yet incredible ability to adapt to any hardship thrown before them. War. Famine. Pestilence. Death. All have been brought before them. Yet, they persevere. That, scum, is what brings us to victory."

- Carver Aleckson to an Orcish Soldier during Wartime.

Carver James Aleckson, or Commander Aleckson for many, is a vindictive son of the harsh lands of Gilneas. Once a skilled assassin working beneath the King of Stormwind, now a lifeless knight of death bringing havoc against any that oppose.

=Description=

In life, Aleckson appeared as any normal human borne of Gilneas; stocky build to survive the lands unrelenting conditions and a gruff sense of loyalty to his king. Sporting a lightenened skin tone due to the lack of sunlight within the region, a mop midnight sable-colored hair poured over his head. Typically adorned in a loosely tied ponytail, after death though he prefered it down as earlier in life.

Overtime, and throughout countless campaign's against Horde and Legion forces, Aleckson was granted two, more notable, scars. The more specific and defined of them though, resided upon his face. One gliding across the bridge of his nose and earned during the Landfall of Pandaria by a orc soldier's edged battleplate. The other, over his right eye and causing him to lose sight was earned during the War of Alternate Draenor, by a Legion enforcer within Shattrath City. Both of which, serve as reminders how close and how far he had come from the small cottage in Gilneas.



=History=

Carver Aleckson was born within the rainy and rocky coasts of Gilneas, not at all a man of combat of violence in the beginning of his life. More of a farmer and lumberjack for the areas around him. Still, tragedy struck with the worgen curse spreading through his homeland. With an attack upon his home that took his wife and daughter’s lives, Aleckson began work under the corrupt noble Vincent Godfrey to establish a counterattack against the worgen. The sector titled ‘The Blackwatch ’. While all seemed to be going well, and the bestial force subsided for the moment, he was offered the position of interrogator within the Stoneward Prison. With the events of the Cataclysm, bloodshed and havoc spread through the already war torn borders of the coast city. Forced from his home, Aleckson found refuge within the Alliance and more specifically the area known as SI:7. There he worked under the King of Stormwind and met the recognizable Marshal Ravenwing during his services. Time passed and Aleckson’s allegiances wavered from the secretive society under the King’s rule to other regiments that caught his interest. One, known as the 103rd, was the first he stepped forth to. With his tireless efforts against the Horde, he was awarded Commander under the leadership of Marshal Serpico Shar’adore. Still, even after such dedication, the Eastern Offensive was ultimately disbanded after the Marshal’s disappearance with the recent Legion invasion. Before any new allegiances could be made, Aleckson brought the grip of the Gilneas Brigade along to launch a five man assault group against the Banshee Queen herself. As one might assume, the mission was a failure, leading in the death of the four and Aleckson critically wounded within Dalaran’s infirmary. It was not long after till the man passed on.  Yet, with every great champion, came a return. With the efforts of the Ebon Blade and the new Lich King, Aleckson was raised into the single thing he dreaded; undeath. With time, the transformation was able to set in and the gilnean accepted his new physique. It was there, when he found home within the 141st regiment under the orders of Marshal Atsumorr Wredinn. Growing to the rank of Sergeant, Aleckson asserted himself as a vital member of the regime with his decisive victories and cunning strategies against the Legion.



 With recent events, Wredinn was struck down by the same demonic forces and brought to his second death. Such a shift in tone only forced Aleckson to rebuke his rank as Sergeant and begin his own path to fighting the Legion. Alone.

Personality
While being an esteemed interrogator and surviving many events that few could endure, Aleckson tends to exhibit quite the positive aura. One would find it difficult to understand he had done such terrible deeds, only to find him quite the comfortable conversationalist. Often offering the neutral idea to the table, this allowed him to remain level headed and quick-witted for the countless victories he achieved. He prefers the tactic of speaking before striking, but a not deterred if a quick death to his opposition is necessary.

In terms of the Horde, Aleckson truly doesn't harbor a hatred to many of the races of the barbaric faction as it only remains upon the forsaken. Seeing the Tauren and Trolls as simple folk, the orcs a simple pest and the blood elves nothing more than a nuisance. Knowing this, he is not above slaughtering villages and towns if commanded to; planting the banner of blue and gold into the corpse of any opposing Horde leader.

Possessions
  With the gathered materials of the countless Legion skirmishes Aleckson conducted during his time as Sergeant of the 141st, a horrific-looking plate was forged with the assistance of the smiths and magi of Shalewind. Donned with the similar coloration of the land around it, a crimson glow radiates from the metal. In particular, the helmet was crafted to appear as if a yellowed skull. In specific occasions, the jaw will unhinge and begin to shift along to mimic the gilnean’s speech. When in the field of battle, it can be seen to begin taunting the enemy with its laughs and shifts about and even be used to expel runic magic unto the enemy.

 * A massive greatsword, forged into an unusual way, and taking on the sight of a colossal hook. With the addition of runed chains slinking about the pommel and grip, the range of the weapon extends now to wherever the death knight pleases for his weapon to go. As if an extension of his own physical being, the chain remains connected to his gauntlet when in use, and if caught by one not the original owner it will begin to sear through plate and flesh alike. The blade was originally forged using materials gathered from countless Legion skirmishes and from the very halls of Acherus . It was also gifted to him in its dormant state when he was first raised, but developed into a weapon of pure and unrelenting brutality.

 * Raised in an effort to replace the gryphon he had lost in an aerial dogfight with felbats above Felsoul Hold, Aleckson journeyed to Dragonblight after overhearing the idea of raising frostwyrms. Before he could reach the specifc destination, he encountered the Ruby Dragonshrine and there a mighty burning skeletal drake soared overhead. One of the last few remaining not obliterated by the Wyrmrest Accord. With careful and violent action, the same chains that envelop his weapon were brought about the great beasts maw and spine. Even with such an endeavor, the two grew to somewhat enjoy one another's company.
