James Rotheman

==Name==
James Rotheman, known to most as "Jim".
==Physical Traits==
An average-sized man of a stocky and muscular build and with a thick mane of reddish-blonde hair and a large bushy beard. Beneath armour or civilian clothing his tattoo's are easily spotted - a large tattoo of Theramore's anchor crest adorn his chest and forearms and "Our Lady Proudmoore" is branded in ink across his upper chest, he has a nasty looking scar around his right eye where he was slashed with a sword, the eye is still somewhat intact and he can maybe see through it a little, but hardly enough to be useful. He wears an eyepatch because of said scar. Aside from those obviously distinguishable features there is nothing more to him aside the weathered look that most verteran soldiers have.
==Personality==
As for his personality, his tone and mood greatly differ when speaking to soldiers, officers and people in general and when he is off-duty among friends.
When on-duty he is usually very formal and serious, ready to follow orders, listen and take charge of the situation, no stranger to placing himself between his fellow marine's and the enemy during moments of battle. He is also a very critical thinker aswell.
While off-duty he is a foul-mouthed, gritty veteran filled with wry humour and usually is friendly, though some, if not, most may find him an accuired taste and is generally not someone you'd want to have at a dinner party. Most Theramore Task Force recruits find this out early on.

==Background==
Born to a family of farmers in Lordaeron, Hillsbrad to be precise, James childhood wasnt particularly special. He worked with his father on his small stretch of farmland, helping him with the small patch of vegetables they owned. They made a modest sum come each harvest but the farm eventually went bust, the second war and the orc's that had broke free of the internment camps had dried the farm up, the Lordaeron army was to stock up on supplies and his family farm was to do their part to aid in the defense against the orc uprising. Also, in truth, Rotheman's father had feared the orcish incursions would reach Durnholde, it being the largest of all the internment camps. They moved further into Hillsbrad, shacking up with some friends and doing what they could to earn their keep. In time Durnholde fell, just as his father and as many other's feared it would. With rumour's of plague, supposed orcish raids and the reality of no money - there was little his family could do. Though hope loomed on the horizon, it was heard that Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, was to take people across the sea to ward against some unknown danger that threatened their own lands. Promising a new life on some distant land far across the sea, Rotheman's father had little to keep him or his family bound to Lordaeron, they went with Jaina and many others across the sea and into the unknown.
When Theramore was first built, Rotheman's father decided to take up the fishing trade as a means of making a living, it was only logical, considering they now lived on an island and it was ill-advised to travel into the hostile looking marsh that almost surrounded them. James, upon approaching adulthood, decided he wished to join the Dustwallow guard, not wishing to stay cooped up inside Theramore isle for the rest of his life, this experience had taught him many things, the most important being loyalty and friendship. Later in his somehwhat short career as a guard in the marsh he was even selected to take part in offsenive operations, usually against the Grimtotem Tauren. After he left, the rest of his military career followed. He eventually recieved word that his father and mother had died while he was serving with the Stormwind Infantry, they had both taken ill due to meat that was not treated properly, they had taken a fever and had died a few days after contracting the illness.
