Sir Wrightson

Sir Wrightson
Sir Wrightson is a Gilnean nationalist, Huntsman and Rifleman of the Gilnean Royal Guard. A proud supporter of King and Country, he lives in Darkshire, regularly and begrudgedly making trips to Stormwind to serve his monarch's army and less importantly, the Alliance. He, like many of his people, is afflicted by the Worgen Curse - however, Sir Wrightson embraces the curse, but does not think it desirable; though, if King Greymane were to change his views, it is highly likely Wrightson would too.

History
"If you want sauced apples boy, you can have them. Such is also the way of kings and their progeny." - King Archibald Greymane of Gilneas
Early Years
Sir Wrightson was born a few years before the First War into a wealthy family residing in the small town of Duskbury in the south of the Kingdom. His mother a baker, his father a member of King Archibald's Royal Guard, as the Kingdom prospered so did the Wrightsons. All of his siblings were dressed in the finest clothes of the latest fashions, and recieved education at the finest schools in the south of the Kingdom. With his father serving in the Royal Guard, by the time King Genn had come to power he was a young, well-educated, well-spoken and a proud nationalist, who would occassionally hunt foxes and (the now extinct) Gilnean Wolf in his spare time.
===The Wars and the Wall===
By the time Gilneas entered the Second War, Wrightson was of legal age to join Greymane's Army, and did so immediately. He fought the Horde to ensure that they did not enroach on his lands, and was outraged that the Orcs were not exterminated, instead of being kept in camps. Following the War, he was a firm supporter of the Gilnean War, after seeing many of his fellow Gilneans torn apart by the Orcs, but was somewhat upset that Lord Crowley's Pyrewood Village, Ambermill and Shadowfang Keep had been lost and essentially handed over to Lordaeron.
A brief period of peace followed the building of the Wall, but soon the Scourge would invade Lordaeron, with disastrous effects for Gilneas and the Wrightson family. With the Scourge relentlessly assaulting the Greymane Wall, an army was sent out to deal with the threat. Wrightson's father was sent with a few other veteran members of the Royal Guard to act as elite soldiers of the King. The army was decimated, but his father was never confirmed to be dead. King Greymane was distraught by the loss, and contacted his court Archmage, Arugal, to unleash his secret weapon against the undead - the Worgen. After attacking the Scourge, the Worgen passed the curse on to Gilnean soldiers, and soon enough it found its way past the Wall, and reports of disappearances and mysterious attacks were becoming common in the north. The Wrightson family was still grieving over the loss of their father, and the curse was slowly working its way across the Kingdom.
Meanwhile, a group of soldiers known as the Gilneas Brigade had left to join Jaina Proudmoores Expedition, by a nobleman unhappy with Gilneas' isolation.
===Civil War===
Lord Darius Crowley, the nobleman who had lost his lands in the north of Pyrewood, Ambermill and the surrounding areas had opposed Greymane's decision to build the wall. He led the Northgate Uprising, resulting in Civil War erupting between the forces of the King and the forces of Crowley. The family was torn apart, with members choosing different sides - some fighting against the wall that had lessened their Kingdom and abandoned their fellow countrymen, some fighting for their King as their father before them. Wrightson chose the side of the King, and he and his fellow loyalists were subject to the terrorism and guerilla warfare of the Rebels. Eventually the Rebellion was defeated, with Crowley and his soldiers - including Wrightson's brother - being imprisoned for treason. Whilst the Rebellion had ended, the Civil War had not, with the Gilnean Wolfcult infiltrating Gilneas and more and more Gilneans becoming infected by the curse. Wrightson was selected to join the Royal Guard as a rifleman, albeit after careful deliberation because of his brother's involvement, and was forced to leave Duskbury.
===The Gilnean's Affliction===
The Worgen pack was spreading, growing, and the Forsaken were battering at the Greymane Wall. Eventually the Bloodfang pack launched an attack of Gilneas City. Crowley and his rebels were released to assist the King fight the Worgen hordes, and Wrightson was re-united with his brother - trying his best to forgive him, and to swallow his pride. He evacuated with his King and his brother to Duskhaven, then to the Greymane Manor and followed the King on his travels, protecting him and the royal family with his fellow guards. On the way to the Manor he was attacked by a strong worgen whom had resisted his bullets, however well-placed, and bitten - giving him the curse. He hid it the best he could under his armour, before hair started growing around it, indicating his transformation was nigh. Fearing what he may do, he informed his captain of his affliction and left the Manor to let the beast consume him.
===Salvation; Devasation===
Wrightson had become a feral Worgen, and roamed Gilneas alone, lost and hungry. What remained of his torn Gilnean military uniform distinguished him from the other Worgen occasionally spotted in the land, and eventually this led to his capture at the hands of Crowley's forces after he stumbled into the Blackwald - home of Tal'doren. He was able to regain his humanity because of their efforts, and almost came to respect the Rebel Lord. By the day that the King came, Wrightson had gained control of his curse he was rejoiced to hear that the King himself shared his afflication, and was he able to rejoin the Royal Guard. After fighting the Forsaken and reclaiming the City from them for a brief period, the tides has turned against the Gilneans and he accompanied the King and his surviving family members to Darnassus by sea. Wrightson was sad to leave his Kingdom in such a state, but was sure that he would stick by the King. Some of the Wrightsons decided to stay in Gilneas, but he and his brother left with the King to Stormwind soon after where he was knighted for his service along with other members of the Guard.
===The Continued Existance of the Worgen Rifleman===
Recently Wrightson has brought a new house in Darkshire by selling some of the possessions he managed to take with him from Gilneas before he left, and makes trips to Stormwind to serve his King. He is training a new pet dog, Megan, to hunt wolves, something he could not do in Gilneas - even if the wolves of Duskwood are but mere docile pups compared to the Gilnean ones, in his opinion. Having come to terms with his curse, he is not tormented by it, though misses the times when he was just Wrightson of Duskbury, a small town near Duskhaven.
