Haldrat

==History==
Haldrat's early life consisted mostly of reading magical texts as his father was was a delver into the world of the demons. He has one sister that he knows about and one sister that he knows nothing about, Valeiria and Kaera Vhaerun. Having grown up in the captial city of Silvermoon, he enjoyed watching the paladins on thier warsteeds as they patroled the city, befriending many of the paladins that he idolized. Haldrats mother was lost in childbirth with Valeiria which left thier father, Malevia the sole responsibility of rearing them. When the second war broke out, Malevia was called into service which left Haldrat to care for his sister Valeiria. One day the war had finally hit home as Haldrat learned that his father had been slain in combat by the undead because his magical shields had failed. Thought it was unknown at the time but the one that delievered the message was his estranged sister Kaera, who had been with thier father in the battle. Life got difficult for Haldrat and Valeiria now without any parents to provide for them. Desperate to save them from a fate in a orphanage, Haldrat convinced Valeiria to become a child of the city with him and learn under the expertise of the blood knights. While it was not ideal and it was a harsh life learning to defend and become a paladin, it was a place to call home. The master paladins agreed and began to train Valeiria and Haldrat. Life as they had known it had ended and a new life had begun. Haldrat rarely saw his sister during training but he was ok with that knowing that she could take care of herself. After his training came to an end he was assinged to a squad of knights that preformed search and recovery missions. As Haldrat approached 277 years of age the third war broke out. Since the war wasn't threating Silvermoon, they stayed out of it. When the blood elves learned that Arthas was leading a vast scourge army towards the sunwell they where greeted by the Ranger-General Sylvanias Windrunner. The unit Haldrat was a part of was picked to be a part of the inital stopping force that was supposed to halt the scourge advance just outside Tranquilien. The battle with the scourge quickly became a route as there was no stopping the overwhelming undead advance. Haldrat's unit decided to make a last stand in order to buy time for the other members of the advance force to retreat. Haldrat as well as the remaining 40 knights in that unit where all killed.
==Life as a member of the Scourge==
Death was not the release that Haldrat had envisioned. In fact he was awakened into a nightmare. He found himself in the floating citadel known as Acherus. He knew that he was now scourge and he heard the calling of his master echoing inside his head. The lich king was waiting for his presence. A war was about to begin against the forces of light in the plaguelands. After finding a unused runeblade and scouting the landside useing the necromantic magic of the citadel, Haldrat reported to the citadel commander for further orders. His orders where simple, if it moved kill it. Under the watchful eyes of the lich king Haldrat preformed genocide on the citizens of the scarlet enclave. Having remembered nothing of his previous life as a paladin he killed man, woman and child without a thought. There was no orginazation in the ranks of the scourge and the attack continued day and night. Sleep was a thing of the past for Haldrat. It wasnt long before Haldrats runeblade was gorged with the blood of innocent people. There was however a twist of fate when Haldrat was ordered to execute a member of the argent dawn. A blood elf knight that reconigized him and pleaded with him to remember who he was, the knight that he had been. She had been one of his instructors in Silvermoon and was horrified to see what had dark path fate had in store for Haldrat. Even though Haldrat executed her, she did awaken memories inside of Haldrat. And he began to break free from the scourge.
==Knight of the Ebon Blade==
The Knights of the Ebon Blade where formed at the conclusion of a failed scourge assult on the chaple of lights hope in the eastern plaguelands. Many now renegade death knights formed the ranks of this order and together forced the scourge out of the citadel Acherus and claimed it as thier stronghold. Floating above the decimated scarlet enclave so that they may never forget what wrongs they commited as scourge, they sent knights to both factions to plead thier case and for acceptance. Haldrat was picked to go to the Warchief Thrall to delieve a message from the Argent Crusade. Knowing what may await him, he walked into Orgimmar. He continued down through what was known as the drag, continously yelled at and had objects thrown at him. It wasnt untill Thrall announced that the knights of the ebon blade where to be treated like the rest of the horde did they begrudginly stop with thier insults. After that Haldrat disappeared and was not seen untill many months later in Northrend.
Haldrat is presently a Dark Rider Commander for a unit of aireal knights. On the back of his skeletal griffon his unit is usally sent on missions into the fleshwerks or even to the icecrown citadel itself. He is also a Liason for the Ebon Blade when delegations between them and the argent crusade arises.
