Lord Garrett Yuronveld was the mentor of Galliard Valonforth, Emily Valonforth, Venessa VanCleef, and Austos Sevpar. He was known as one of the Defias Brotherhoods most dangerous and renowned supporters, being a main funder for Edwin VanCleef himself. He from time to time would take groups of recruits and educate them in the art of sword-play and politics, attempting to teach the younger generation of the Defias how to survive when the fight to Stormwind came to a head. There was not a soul within the Defias that didn't fear him, even his students became cowards when Garrett threw one of his infamous tantrums.

### History

Garryt was born within Alterac during it's time as one of the seven most prominent Human Kingdoms. He was the half brother of it's king Aiden Perenolde, them sharing a father. The aging king of Alterac knew not what to do with his bastard-born as he already had an heir, and then decided to give his illegitimate son, Garrett, a cadet branch of House Perenolde named House Yuronveld

During the Orcish Horde's invasion of the human kingdoms, Alterac chose the side of the horde, and when the orcish incursion was quelled, Alterac was punished so heavily that it ceased to be a kingdom, many of it's nobles now landless and homeless. From that day forth, he had a seething passionate hatred for the Alliance, and the moment Lord Yuronveld heard of the plight of the Defias, the man rounded up what was left of the forces of Chillwind Pass, the remainder of his wealth, and what was left of his pride with his eyes set on assisting the Brotherhood. He had hoped to spite the alliance in any way, shape, or form that he could. Becoming a hands-off member of the Defias, in the fact that a neighboring city-state by the name of Rhinestone not affiliated with the Alliance welcomed him with open arms.

With this new station, Lord Yuronveld could take a hands-off approach with the Defias, sending them money and men whenever he could, whilst staying hidden from the prying eyes of Stormwind. During his time within Rhinestone, he had met an elven family by the name Autumnsong and fell in love with the youngest daughter, Briniara Autumnsong, and later becoming quite the friend of her brother, Vathurian Autumnsong.

After the Defias' fall in the later years, the aging Lord Yuronveld took to retiring from his life of assisting banditry and vengeance in hopes to live out the remainder of his days in isolation and peace, still helping his beloved students whenever he could. Until the fateful day came and the Burning Legion invaded Azeroth. A legion portal had opened up right outside of Rhinestone's walls. Six months of fighting went by and with the gates breached, no choice remained. Garrett escorted the two thousand citizens out of the city and locked the secondary gate behind them, buying the nobility of Rhinestone and the citizenry ample time to escape through a portal. Knowing he had saved his family and friends, the giant of a man accepted his fate and perished with weapons in hand. When his corpse was discovered by Galliard and Austos, it was said a smile still enveloped his face.

The late Lord Yuronveld was honored by his former students and the Unmasked colonies as a whole by being buried in a well made tomb that was placed under Westfall's capital, Red Hill.
