Tarathien Goldleaf

Tarathien Goldleaf was a member of the Convocation of Silvermoon, and the head of House Goldleaf. A mighty spellcaster and a learned scholar, he formed the backbone of Silvermoon's ruling elite. Though weary of Rommath, he instead made the mistake of trusting Kariel Winthalus. Kariel exploited Tarathien's trust and earned his support for placement on the Convocation of Silvermoon. Kariel then used that position to further his own goals, and raised a Benefactor rebellion against King Anasterian. This shamed Tarathien, who personally took great pains in fighting the Benefactors and unravelling their plots. General Mathurin Hawkspear led the military front of Tarathien's schemes against the Benefactors.
When the forest trolls were unified under Amani warlord Jin'thek, Tarathien's problems were to endure a change of direction. He was forced into accepting an alliance with the Benefactors, but was also present when new allies were welcomed in the form of Eralas Trollbane of Stromgarde and his Crimson Cabal.
The forest trolls eventually laid siege to Silvermoon and with the help of a Zandali fleet, stormed the city. Tarathien Goldlead, the bulk of the Convocation and most of the Crimson Cabalists made a stand near the docks, buying Anasterian and Eralas time to flee to Quel'Danas.
Tarathien fought fiercely, but was eventually slain alongside Azshard, Lijou and their compatriots.
