## Biography

### Early Childhood & Teen Years

Born in Lordaeron, Hadwyn has little memory of it as he was only a few years old when the city fell. His father, Ephraim, fled to the south with other citizens, until they reached Stormwind. There, his father settled in the verdant forest of Elwynn, taking residence in a small settlement.

However, Ephraim was a paladin bound to his duty to serve and protect. With no other known family, Hadwyn was often left in the care of the priests at Northshire Abbey whenever Ephraim was gone. His time spent at Northshire nurtured his interest into becoming a paladin like his father. It was then, as Hadwyn grew older, he began his journey to becoming a squire, learning under several mentors.

### Today

At the age of nineteen, Hadwyn was anointed as a paladin, achieving not only a goal but a dream to honor his late father.

Hadwyn served as a freelance hire, often taking up odd jobs now and again to keep himself active. That was until he reconnected with an old friend from his abbey days, Lord Tion Harrowmire.

It was then Hadwyn was introduced to the banner of the Citrine Eagle, in which Hadwyn now serves under.

## Personality & Beliefs

Hadwyn is often described to be a kind and gentle young man with a warm disposition. He is soft spoken and tends to keep to himself for most of the time. Hadwyn is not absolutely shy however, and enjoys having light-heart conversations - and a few pranks.

Although this may lead one to think of submission, he is more passive in situations. Hadwyn does not engage in situations that do not directly involve him or his interest. He prefers to diffuse conflicts by other means, leaving physical assertion as an absolute last resort.

Being a paladin, Hadwyn holds his belief with the Holy Light. But he does not consider himself as a highly devout worshiper. He holds onto the teachings from his father that balance of mind and faith is the best for judgment.

## Relationships

### Ephraim Lowell

Hadwyn respects and adores his father. Viewing him as a man he aspires to be, Hadwyn holds onto his father’s words and lessons. The two were near inseparable when Ephraim was home. Hadwyn’s fondest memories of his father were the fishing trips, cozy nights reading or listening to his father’s stories, and the mentorship his father provided with his paladin training.

### Lord Tion harrowmire

Though their time together was sporadic, Hadwyn came across Tion during their time at Northshire. Hadwyn was intrigued by the young lord, but he was not able to formally meet Tion until some time later.

Some years had passed for the two, each attending to their duties until they crossed paths a few years ago. With the strange familiarity, the two reconnected and began a strange friendship.

Hadwyn now acts in the position of not only a close friend, but a confidant to Lord Harrowmire.
