With his combat days and nights growing old, he is starting to take to leadership roles and ruling of his new holding of Pale Wash as Baron.

## Personality & Beliefs

He can be known as cold by strangers, but known as warming by those who truly know him. He tends to have tough love most times. But there will be times where he can be quite tender. He finds himself quick to move to protect others. But his past has an tight grip on his actions, sometimes making it tough to show emotion.

Built on the foundation of his house beliefs. Remain loyal to close ones and those who deserve it. To be an pillar that can be relied on through the hardest of times. To stay dedicated in protecting those that need it and even those who don't ask for it. He can be found at times not showing much interest in church or the light but he does have some inclination of interest tucked away. He once believed that death knights were terrible beings through his time in the crusade. But it truly shaped differently over time with their dedication to right their wrongs. He can be seen indifferent toward them most times currently.

One of his striking beliefs is likely to be his readiness to take action. Very straight forward and not one to grow old waiting. But with his age and he finds this behavior to be becoming less prominent. Becoming more cunning in his approach rather than being a brute

## Biography

Dalderius hales from House Ironbane, born to Sir Derrik Ironbane and Olva Ironbane. He would also be the older brother to Amia Ironbane his younger sister. The family owned a farm in the highlands, which was granted to Sir Derrik. Sir Derrik was an outspoken knight which caused some trouble with nobility but was never truly punished. In large part due to his combat prowess and support. Olva was very much involved in tending to the farm with Sir Derrik's absence when necessary. While also caring for the children. During the second war though, everyone but Dalderius would perish to the Horde. Leaving the young boy with an undying rage of his now departed family. The young boy would not shy from getting thrusted into combat not much longer after the happenings of his family. He relentlessly trained to become something to gain that revenge he sought. Overtime his antics would soon become deeds noticed by Stromgarde. Leading an family friend taking him under his wing, an Stromgarde knight. With this revelation, Dalderius found himself now learning what it is to be a knight. Honing his abilities in more than just combat. But the old knight feared for him that Stromgarde would slowly turn him into an machine for war. Slowly his fears became a reality, as the boy slowly growing into a man. Would have his rage fueled by the hatred injected into him. During the Third war, he was found once again doing what he did in the Second war. Only this time it was the scourge. During this time though he found it much different. Fighting the scourge was no horde, they were fighting unrelenting forces. This would be the darkest times of Dalderius's life. Watching brothers, sisters, that he fought alongside butchered and risen to fight against him. Even with his iron clad willpower, it would leave an scar on him. Enough to haunt him which led to anger. With the collapse of Stromgarde leaving nothing for him to come back to. He found himself joining the Argent Crusade against Arthas, to enact his vengeance for the trauma he was given. Through the crusade he found he would still suffer the same fate as the Third war. But this time he kept going through the thought of ending it once and for all.

Eventually the pain would end with Arthas's fall, leaving the man with some options. He chose to go to Stormwind and pursue a life there. Hopefully away from all that plagued him. Hopefully somewhere that wouldn't always be in turmoil. At this time he found himself doing any bounty jobs or mercenary work. Putting his training to use in exchange for coin. Which in time led him to find peace in friendships that soon led him away from such work. Slowly finding himself thrusted back into the life of nobles and knights.
