Chalfriald

==Description==
Name: Chalfriald ScarmaneRace: Human (Worgen)Age: 39Birthplace: GilneasClass: WarriorProfessions: Skinning, MiningGuild: The Tavern LinesPast Affiliations: Gilneas GuardAlignment: Chaotic Good/NeutralAppearence: An older man, his body is riddled with scars. They are especially prominent among his face and shoulders, many of them varying in age and severety, but his wincing strongly indicates that they have taken a toll. There is a remarkably fresh rend close to his right eye.
He moves much more easily in worgen form, with the scars clearly defined but not as burdening. He seems to have a permanent scowl chiseled on his face, or maybe it's just a condescending smirk? Who can tell for sure.
==Personality==
As many others can easily describe him as, Chalfriald is a very loud and assertive individual. At first impression he's nothing more than a loud obnoxious drunk, but he quickly proves himself a worthy drinking opponent beyond the sheer tolerance, as he does possess a well sharpened wit solely used for the torment and harassment of others. He enjoys finding and pressing the buttons of others, finding it rewarding to push people to the point of driving them away or expressing undesirable reactions. If nothing else, they will shrug off his attempts and prove themselves to be worthy friends (or drinking associates), but it won't stop him from harassing his so called "friends" in the future. Despite his teasing, he truly means well with his abrasive nature and finds it in other peoples benefit to walk away more tolerant or well argued from his presence. Whether people see it that way or not isn't his concern.
On the flipside of his carousing nature, Chalfriald has chiseled a rather merciless black and white view of some of his work and political views. Most notably he hates Forsaken with every definition of the word, and to that extent he holds ill discriminating feelings towards any other undead, such as the Ebon Blade. To him, there is no such thing as innocent Forsaken, he fully believes them to be completely devoid of humanity and nothing more than a Second Scourge. He finds it both to their mercy and his gratification to kill each and everyone he is capable of. As well, even beyond his loathing of Forsaken, Chalfriald holds a strict warrior's code of holding no prisoners. Should somebody have done wrong and cause damage, and is captured as an enemy of the Alliance, he'd much prefer killing them swiftly than releasing them or keeping captive.
==Background==
===Earlier Life===
Born and raised in Gilneas, Chalfriald was the only child of his family's generation, proceeding the ill reputed Scarmane house. Many of his male predecessors have been known to be great troublemakers in the capital city, a few even turning to the crime and thug market. Chalfriald himself eventually turned out to be a rather positive mark for his family, joining the city guard at an early age and earning much experience of the authoritative life and Gilnean politics. Not even before age twenty has he met the acquaintance of a Florina Goodwell, a fellow guard captaining her own unit in a separate district of Gilneas city. Regardless of Chalfriald's saving of the Scarmane reputation, he was still quite a robust drinker when off duty and very fond of physical competition. After some drunken boasting in his favorite tavern the good miss Florina took him up on a wrestling challenge, touching on the younger guard's warrior instinct. And of course immediately afterwards outside of the tavern, Florina overthrows him completely and beats him without much effort. Rather than being sour or having to cover his pride, the young Scarmane could not help but fall head over heels for this amazingly fierce woman.
Following that event the two naturally began seeing each other in their free time, and eventually Chalfriald even rose to the Captain of his own district, with his soon to be spouse transferring over to work under him for a change. The two had their wedding in the city's Chapel of Light, and continued their long life of city watching. A year into their marriage they concieved a child by the name of Ginius Scarmane, and the two parents proudly shared their lives together in the production of their family.
Unfortunately the happiness did not go on forever, as after sixteen work filled years Ginius has attained adulthood and chose to join the guard as well, just like when his father was of age. As part of a preliminary choosing for the acceptance of new guards, he was sent on a simple investigation of a potential arms dealer hideout used by the Northgate Rebels, near the edge of Duskhaven village. Intended to test the new recruits on their handling of evidence gathering and following of procedure, the building ended up being a very hot location for several explosives and cannons being hidden after the capture of Crowley. As an opportunity to both destroy the evidence and strike against the King's men who have built the Gilneas Wall in the first place, the owner of the abandoned home set the building to explode on the crew's arrival, killing nearly all of them, including the junior Scarmane.
Distraught but too proud to be shaken from their lifestyles, the married Scarmanes quietly agreed to put off having another child until the wound heals. Chalfraild himself was nearing retirement as his physical potential has been declining to the reckless gain of injuries he has collected at the hieght of his career. Though neither of them spoke of it, from thereon the relationship between the married couple slowly decayed from their loss, up until the events that were soon to follow.
===The Invasion and Beyond===
During the worgen invasion of Gilneas city, Chalfriald himself was readily serving among the guard during the beasts' first appearance. As chaos slowly took reign of the city, Chalfriald was quick to lose himself from the guard's movement into the rest of the districts to return home and check for Florina. After putting down a few ravaging worgen from his doorstep, he came inside to find the door itself torn ajar and their home tattered. Upstairs in their bedroom, his heart warned him but he had not been prepared to see his slain Florina on the bedstead, caught by surprise in her sleeping gown but still loosely reaching for a fallen bloody dagger, two dead worgen littered at her feet. Quickly turning away and gaining what remained of his composure, the only remaining Scarmane returned to his squad to fight for whatever the city has left.
After the freeing and cooperation of Darius Crowley, Chalfriald gladly joined alongside him in his last stand in the Chapel of Light, fully intending to die to save the remaining lives of the city. Of course what he and many others did not expect to result from their stand, the worgen curse spread through their bodies from earlier wounds and turn into a beast themselves. Following through the events of Gilneas' exodus, Chalfriald came to terms with his new bestial face a bit quicker than the others, seeing this entire event and this new vigorous form as a chance to start another life anew, beyond the walls of Gilneas. Though enjoying these new experiences and the chance to make a new career, Chalfriald mournfully looks back to his home and its condition, entirely enthused to one day free it from the Forsaken invaders and return it to its former glory, if not better.
===The Tavern Lines===
In recent times Chalfriald has made residence in Stormwind, making a few regular acquaintances (or what some may call friends), all of which who particularly joined a small mercenary unit under the command of a sentinel Nils Ivygrove. He himself forced himself into the group after a sour first impression from the night elf, lifting her by her chair and intimidating her to join. And after six months of the death of his wife, Chalfriald further advanced his new life by pursuing a relationship with the much younger Jenehvive Welles, at first forming a sour rivalry with until pushing her to the point of accepting fights with him repeatedly, which is when he and others have begun targeting the worgen hunter's supposed feelings for Chalfriald. After a long strange stage of courting and being in denial, the worgen warrior eventually forced her to admit to herself that feelings did exist, finally taking eachother in proud, neck choking arms.
Both being at the height of their new careers, despite Jenehvive's departure of the Lines, Chalfriald has continued taking more high end tasks while she worked against the Twilight's Hammer in their own citadel. Scarmane himself has taken on a personal mission of at last biting back at the Forsaken on their own lands, having finally trained his new body into capable condition to do so. Not long into his raids of the Tirisfal town of Brill, a Doctor Carnage Vi'le has stopped him in his rampage and struck the worgen into unconsciousness, finding the warrior curious enough to let live and even went as far as leaving medical supplies to survive the trip home. Being far too proud and angered by this turn, Chalfriald of course destroys the supplies and departs, tail between his legs. This of course did not last, the worgen finding himself growing increasingly angry in his denial of undead killing, returning to Lordaeron once again with a large supply of various potions to act more subtlety and escape better. Being the cause of a particular noteworthy slaughter in the sewers of Undercity itself, he has left a salvaged Gilnean flag at the mouth of their sewer, written in the blood of fallen forsaken that spelled; "Gilneas will rise again." This was Chalfriald's personal challenge to the entire faction, quickly attracting the attention of Doctor Carnage once again just on the outskirts of Brill, the two exchanging in common. Chalfriald expresses his final decision of the Forsakens' fate, refusing any agreement of peace or non-violence, attacking the death knight before running off to leave him with the destruction he wrought.
To this day a bitter rivalry exists between Chalfriald and opposing undead agents, the former plotting tactical revenge and rousing any other arm he can in his crusade.
