Long, flowing hair, retaining it's color due to magical means, despite his age, makes him looks as though he were in his young 30s, instead of being over 130.

## Biography

Born Mathias Ambrosia Rath, he lived in a small farming town in Rothanava. Growing up doing hard work every day of the week, he became a well-disciplined young man. Upon growing old enough to, he joined the Lordaeronian Army as an infantryman, and went on to serve in the Gnoll War.

Following the Gnoll War, Mathias used his small-time fame and earned spoils of war to elevate his family to that of a noble status. He then went on to grow House Rath into a substantial House under the banner of Lordaeron.

Despite starting off small, Mathias used his know-how of the lands to generate more wealth from farming, and quickly took the entire region of Rothanava under his own banner, bringing wealth and prosperity to the previously poor community.

Mathias, after undergoing magical augmentation with arcane energies, used his newfound power and strength to create a fighting force capable of taking down any reasonable threat to his people, or the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Mathias went on to serve the Alliance under the banner of Lordaeron in the First and Second Wars, in which he proved his combat prowess, becoming known as the "Weaponmaster."

Following the First and Second War, seeing the new threats that he and his people would face, began an extreme training regimen involving powerful magic and incredible physical treatment. He became known as "The Lord Wrath" by his soldiers, due to his determination to improve them by any means necessary.

During the Third War, and the Fall of Lordaeron, House Lordrath also fell, and with it, Mathias ordered those directly sworn to him to save their familes and themselves over the wealth and lands of Rothanava.

"Lands can be retaken. A family cannot be. Flee with your loved ones."

After the Fall of Lordaeron, Mathias went into self-imposed exile for many years, finally re-emerging from it when House Lordrath was re-created under the banner of the Duchy of Summerfast.
