==Background 1 - The early years==
Glan Scarock and his wife Oria lived as farmers in the Arathi highlands. They lived a hard and tiresome life but they were happy farmers and they did their best to pull through. However when Glan Scarock was working at the local noble´s farms, the lord would usally use this oppotunity to come "visit" Glan's wife Oria. This eventually caused Oria to become pregnant.
At first Glan was happy and he made sure that Oria had anything she needed and for the next 9 months he worked even harder so that he could be able to provide food for his wife who had to stop working in the fields during the pregnancy.
9 months later a boy was born and Glan and Oria chosed to name him Gladious Scarock.
However as the baby grew older it became terribly clear to Glan that the child was not his son, he had golden red hair and brown eyes opposite Glan´s blue eyes and brown hair. Soon Glan started drinking heavily and eventually he hanged himself in the barn.
Oria Scarock was forced to take care of her young son herself without anyone to help her, but with the will of a strong woman and the love of a mother she managed to raise little Gladious to become a good and healthy boy.
As soon as he reached the age of 8, Gladious helped out his mother in the fields. Gladious Scarock would spend about 10 hours every day working for the local noble lord, in the few hours he weren´t working he were playing with the other locals´ kids.
When Gladious grew to the age of 15 he started feeling the just of the noble lord. He was now treated like any other adult and he was brutality punished by the lord if he diden´t do his job well enough.
In the next 2 years, Gladious would experience how the lords treated the poor farmers. He saw old people in the fields being whipped and young women being forced to have sex with the noble.
Gladious was now 17 years old, he was a rough young man and his life as a farmer had clearly marked him. He had the nature and strength of a farmer and he was the toughest of his generation, not the strongest but definitly the one with the strongest will and mind. However he was easy to annoy and he would give into his rage very quickly. Suprisingly tough, he would never resist when punished by the noble lord.
One day Gladious Scarock had chosen to return from the fields earlier due to a pain in his arm. He sneaked away from the overseer and came home early. When he entered the house he found the lord together with his mother in the bed.
Gladious completly lost his mind and will and with a quick move he knocked down the noble and started beating him in mindless rage. When Gladious came to himself, his hands were covered in blood and before him lay the body of the noble, whose skull he had broken.
It was not long before his mother had given him a few supplies, a horse and then told him to get out of the kingdom of Stromgarde as quickly as possible.
Gladious made his way to Menethil harbor in the Wetlands, there he sneaked on a fishing boat on its way to Westfall.
==Background 2 - The struggle==
Gladious arrived in Westfall a few weeks later. There he quickly found himself a job as a farmhand at one of the local farms. Although he had a short temper he managed to become good friends with the locals and Westfall eventually became a place he could call "home".
10 years passed and Gladious became a big and strong man. He had always been treated well by the farmer and in his mind he wouldn´t dream of anything else besides his simple life.
But suddenly one day the Defias Brotherhood invaded Westfall. The farmer and his family fled from their farm and Gladious eagerly joined Gryan Stoutmantle´s "The People's Militia" in an attempt to defend his new home.
When the Defias Brotherhood were finaly "defeated" with the death of VanCleef, Gladious Scarock found himself in a ravaged land with his new home burned down and all the people he had known for the past 10 years had fled to Stormwind.
Then the King of Stormwind, King Varian Wrynn, returned to Stormwind and "The People´s Militia" were renamed to "Westfall Brigade".
With the Westfall Brigade dispatched to Northrend, it was up to Gladious and a few militamen to take care of any Defias survivors.
Gladious spent his time hunting down Defias stragglers still hiding in Westfall until he was given orders to cross the border into Elwynn forest where Defias warbands had been spotted. While searching for Defias, he and his group heard news about a noble named Isilódir Goldbane, who had recently arrived at Stormwind harbor. He was a noble of the very wealthy family "House Goldbane" of Kul Tiras. This Isilódir Goldbane wanted to expand the territory of the family by buying out peasants and villagers in Elwynn forest.
Born as a poor farmer, Gladious had a natural hatred for nobles but he didn´t give this noble much thought, at least not until one day when he had returned to Westfall that he heard the news. A villager told him that Isilódir Goldbane had hired thugs to drive out villagers who were not interested in selling their property to the noble. Several houses and villagers north of Westbrook garrison had been forced out of their homes and now Isilódir Goldbane where starting to move into Westfall itself.
Gladious reacted quickly by informing the army of Stormwind of the crimes, however Isilódir Goldbane had already a large influence in the military regiment of "Army of Wrynn" and used his position to make sure that none heard of this matter.
Outraged of what Gladious considered a "second betrayal" by the king´s army, he gathered volunters and formed "Workers´ Faction" as a response to Isilódir Goldbane ´s movement into Westfall.
Using "guerrilla tactics", Gladious and his comrades attacked Isilodir´s thugs and hired blades. At first their attacks were succesful and they managed to drive Goldbane´s men out of Westfall for a time.
One day however, Goldbane managed to pull the worker´s faction into a trap by using a caravan to deceive Gladious and his men into believing that what looked like an easy kill, really was a caravan filled with mercenaries.
The loses of the worker´s faction were devastating and only Gladious and a small group of suvivors managed to escape.
Filled with guilt of his misjugdement and the losses of the workers´ faction as a result, Gladious entered a long depression. He knew however that he could not give up, he had to continue the fight of the free people of Westfall.
Altough Gladious were very much against it, he contacted other nobles who also had contacts within "Army of Wrynn". The nobles wanted Isilódir removed from Elwynn Forest and Westfall (if it was out of the goodness of their hearts or personal intrests is still unknown) and they were willing to enter an alliance with Gladious and his men.
==Background 3 - The birth of steel==
Together with the two noble families, Gladious and the remnants of the workers´ faction formed the union "the Steelcrest Brotherhood" - a union whos only purpose was to put an end to Goldbane's tyranny.
Gladious started recruiting more men to the cause and the nobles supplied him and his men with armour and weapons.
Now well-supplied and with many new recruits joining, Gladious and the brotherhood fought back Goldbane´s men with a renewed strength and Isilódir was forced to spend more and more money to hire thugs and buy new supplies every time a caravan had been destroyed by a raid of the Steelcrest brotherhood.
Eventually Isilódir Goldbane gave up after the defeat of his captains, who were assassinated by raiders of the Steelcrest brotherhood, and he pulled out of Westfall.
In secret however, the Steelcrest brotherhood continued to launch raids in Elwynn aimed towards Goldbane-owned buildings and this caused Isilódir to leave Elwynn forest and retreat to Stormwind (Here he would later build up his personal guard known as "the Tenth Legion" and eventually he would find his death at the head of Yarbek´s hammer).
With the defeat of the Goldbane forces, it seemed to be time to disband the union "the Steelcrest Brotherhood" and the diffrent parts of the union prepared to take their leave. However during the many weeks of fighting, Gladious had met a mercenary of one of the noble houses in the union by the name of Byar Telvar. He was a veteran from the second war who had served in both the Stromgarde army and the Stormwind army. Now he was a mercenary seeing as the benefits were twice those of a Stormwind footman.
Byar would usally try to convince Gladious at any given time that it would be "a shame" to disband the steelcrest brotherhood since they were proving to be a force to be reckoned with and that there was so much they still could achieve in the world.
This caused Gladious, days before the union were to disband, to suddenly state that the Steelcrest brotherhood were not to disband. As a response to this, the two noble lords left the union at once but a large number of their guards and hired men stayed in the brotherhood due to promises of big rewards from the many valuables the union had stolen from Isilódir Goldbane (these promises have most likely been given by Byar).
Gladious Scarock had lost his faith in Stormwind and he believed that the people would never be safe with forces of "ignorant tin can wimps" protecting them. Byar Telvar convinced him that if they kept the brotherhood running they would be able to "protect the people and fight against injustice beyond the lands of Stormwind".
Many of Gladious´ loyal men from the workers´ faction left in anger of what they believed to be a betrayel to their cause, they were freedom fighters, not mercenaries. With the lands of Stormwind rid of Goldbane influence, there was no longer need for them to fight.
2 months later Gladious was facing a hard time keeping the Steelcrest brotherhood running. Without the noble lords to provide the Steelcrest brotherhood with supplies and money, he could no longer pay his men and the brotherhood were about to be disbanded.
Byar Telvar had waited for this moment for a long time and as soon as the possebility came, he suggested Gladious that they could take on mercenary jobs to pay the men and taking on other jobs such as personal protection.
Seeing no other solution, Gladious gave in and agreed.
Half a year later, the former proud union of brave freedom fighters has become a dark shadow of its former glory. As the time has passed, so has the moral and purpose of the order.
The Steelcrest brotherhood, know known as "Steelcrest Company", has become a home for rough and harsh mercenaries.
Gladious Scarock, who in this long time has been under the influence of Byar, has lost any past feelings for the people, he fights only rarely for anything besides money. He now intends to expand the Steelcrest Company to the city Stormwind and cities beyond.
==Involvement==
Gladious Scarock will make his arrival this summer as the head of "Steelcrest Company".
==Strategy==
Facing Gladious would be a challenge in any kind of combat, especially in a one-on-one match where he get the chance to focus all his rage on you only.
Being as strong and persistent as he is, he is not easily tired out, and unless you are either as strong or stronger than him then the easiest way to defeat him would be to use a hit-and-run tactic which will most likely cause him to give into his rage and start making mistakes.
