Casendic Sunapple
Casendic Sunapple is an Adept of the Blood Knight Order and illegitamate son of Malissien Sunswallow, currently serving the Convocation of Elrendar as a Praetorian. He has a strong dislike for many of the other races, due to various forms of propaganda that he readily believes in. This hatred sometimes causes other Sin'dorei to criticize him, especially when he states his dislike of the Horde races. He has a strong love for Quel'thalas and it's Elven residents.

Appearance
Casendic is a normal elf with little extraordinary about him. He possesses the beauty all of his race bear, unfaded after 111 years of life and has a muscular build. He usually has a stern, determined look on his well-sculpted face. His brow is deeply lined with thought at most times. Fel green, almost emerald eyes rest upon his face. A well-sculpted nose rests between and below them, and below that itself is a pair of ever-so-slightly thin lips and a devilish goattee. His cheeks are quite stubbly, and slightly bristly to the touch. He has pale, unblemished and smooth skin.
Framing what some could consider to be a handsome face is long, golden-copper hair, which falls onto his chest and back. Golden-copper is not his natural hair colour - he was born with black hair. His hair is parted at the front, and two long strips of hair fall either side of his head. He takes care with his hair, and it is washed and combed regularly.
This Adept stands straight at nearly all times - he can rarely be seen slumping. His movements have a hint of purpose and elegance in them, and his body language can be somewhat imposing at times, though that depends on the observer.
History
===Pre-First War===
Casendic was brought into life by the whore Seralia Bluesun, and given to his father, Malissien Sunswallow. His childhood began with a family of animal traders 81 years before the First War. His childhood was rather uneventful. Seralia was not known to Casendic at this time. When Malissien found a new woman, he told her that Casendic was the child of his last 'dead' spouse. That woman was Karisina Sunapple, who soon became both Karisina Sunswallow and the illegitmate child's mother. His childhood was fairly average. He made the trip from Goldenmist Village to Silvermoon City every day for schooling in magic, Elven History, and basic combat training as well as the usual subjects, in which his teachers deemed him an average student. He had a small circle of friends, none of whom survived the Scourge's attack on Quel'thalas. At the age of 16 he made the decision to become a magi, transferring to a magical institution linked to the Magisterium itself. He studied there for many years, and over that period of time he developed a good deal of skill with the Arcane. At the same time, he was training in swordsmanship and other combat. This training in both fields continued over the years, contributing to both his respect for authority, combat skills and fitness.
===First War===
The Sunswallow family saw no particular strain or change during the First War. Life continued as normal, and Casendic moved out of his family home and went to live in a small apartment in the Silvermoon commons (currently the Ruins of Silvermoon). It is around this time that he completed his magical training, casts a few simple spells, and applied to the Magisterium.
===Second War===
Casendic joined the push against the Horde, playing a minor roll among the ranks of the Humans and Elves. At this point, he had a few offensive spells at his disposal. Once more, the Sunswallow family life continued as normal. After the War concluded, Casendic returned to his training at the Magisterium as an apprentice.
===Third War===
At last, the Sunswallows saw strife. Casendic was in the Magisterium main complex when the Scourge came, and saw refuge in the library he was studying in. The door was locked, and he and his other students sat and waited. At the same time, both his family and his birthplace were destroyed by the Scourge forces making their way to the Sunwell. In the aftermath of the attack, when the Scourge forces had diminished, he played his part in the reclamation, using slightly more complex spells than those used in the Second War against the remaining Scourge. His dependency of the energy of the Sunwell became apparent very soon. He remained in Silvermoon to help rebuild, the might built up during his routine training and slight magical skill being put to good use. Shortly before Prince Sunstrider's return, Casendic became aware of his families fate. In this period of grief, the words of Kael'thas seemed so clear, so... right. Yet he remained in Silvermoon, rebuilding the City and his life, when the Prince left Quel'thalas. It was at this time he left the Magisterium, seeing no worth and finding no time for his studies.
===The Promised Land===
Casendic was a changed man by the time M'uru arrived in Silvermoon. Propaganda thrown at him from all directions soon shaped much of his personality today, being particularly weak in his state of sadness. He filled the void left by his families death by loving Quel'thalas and his people even more, and worked even more eagerly for the Blood Elven cause. He readily joined the Blood Knight Order a month after it was formed, and after passing his initiation trial he was sent to Outland to fight for Prince Sunstrider, his superiors seeing use for him as cannon-fodder in Outland. Upon arrival in the promised land, he travelled from outpost to outpost until arriving finally in the Bloodwarder training institution located in eastern Netherstorm. It was at this time he began to rely on crystals charged with mana of all kinds more, and even had sockets carved into his Hawkstrider's plating to carry mana crystals. Casendic's training continued all throughout his time in Outland. He was appointed as a guard in the Mechanar half-way through his training.
When attacks on Tempest Keep by Shattrah forces began, the still unexperienced Casendic was still guarding the Mechanar, his faith in the Prince intact and strong. On one fateful encounter with a Scryer soldier, he was held at sword point. Fear overcame the young soldier, and he surrendered, fearful of death. He was soon escorted out as the bulk of the Shattrah soldiers retreated, a prisoner and a deserter. When the effects of the bloodgems he had consumed wore off, he came to his senses, and the Scryer's claim of Kael'thas's treachery became quite clear to him. He was soon set to work, a hint of regret ever present in his 'clearer' mind. It was at this time that he left the Blood Knight Order, seeing them as founded for a false reason.
===The Burning Crusade===
His work for the Scryers continued as usual, but became more centered upon work in Shattrah. When news of the Sin'dorei's acceptance into the Horde reached him, he was disgusted, and he looked upon the Horde Sin'dorei coming to the City with contempt. Even more shocking to Sunswallow was the news of Kael'thas's betrayal and work with the Legion. He was quick to join the Shattered Sun, and was deployed on Quel'danas to fight the Dawnblade forces controlling the island. Soon after the Sunwell was re-ignited, Casendic withdrew from the Scryers and the Shattered Sun and sailed home to Silvermoon.
===The War in Northrend===
Casendic re-applied to the Blood Knights a month after returning to Silvermoon, feeling he was missing something. He started once more at the rank of initiate, and remained at that rank for the whole of the War in Northrend. He spent all the time during the war in Silvermoon training, never venturing into Northrend. It was over this time he became involved in criminalistic orginisations, though never admits to it.
===The Shattering and Cataclysm===
The Shattering of Azeroth, and the chaos following it, made Casendic even more sure that he needed purpose. He withdrew from all crime, and returned to what he loves - serving his land, his people, and the Blood Knight Order. Shortly after the Cataclysm he joined the Convocation of Elrendar, seeking to serve even further. It was at around this time that he rose to the rank of Adept within the Order, and was issued the official Adept's armour, akin to those that he wore in the Mechanar under the King - secretly the reason it is a favourite of his. Recently he became aware of his illegitamacy, deciding to abandon his father's name and taking Karisina's maiden name - Sunapple. He is currently a Praetorian of the Convocation of Elrendar, striving to prove himself worthy to be a Scion.

Companions
Companions:
Felari the Hawkstrider. Adopted after Casendic's horse perished in the Thunder Axe War, Felari is a well-trained Hawkstrider. Her brilliant crimson and purple feathers make her fairly indistinguishable from other striders. The initials C.S are engraved onto her golden plates. A favourite snack of hers is worms, though Casendic hates to admit that such a beautiful animal prefers worms to Hawkstrider feed. She is a proud beast, and fears very little apart from loud bangs.
Ahela the Winterspring Cub. The smallest daughter of Dor'ano, a Winterspring tiger belonging to one of Casendic's fellow Praetorians, she has recently been given to Casendic. At her current age, she is rather small, and her colours are inverted, though in less than a decade she will soon be an adult Winterspring. She is timid of nature, though still playful whilst around her siblings, and is already rather friendly to Casendic. Casendic adores Ahela, swallowing his manliness and admitting that she is incredibly cute. His real motive for wanting to own a cat was the fact that he, secretly, feels rather lonely at his house.
