Lord **Aurélion Graves** is a Stormwind nobleman who rules over the March of Wraithelm and all Counties & Baronies located therein.

## Personality & Beliefs

A proper nobleman, Aurélion shows great respect and due honor to others of nobility and to those of current or extensive military service. Great efforts are made when interacting with those that qualify, he takes every care to ensure that he properly represents himself, his name, and his lands through every encounter. On the surface he is a gentleman to the highest degree, ensuring titles are properly referred to and all conversation is kept distantly professional at worst.

As those he was once proper and stoic with begin to grow more familiar with the man, he has been known to be humorous or even sassy, using wordplay to his advantage to place himself in a better position or to merely placate others into opening up to him for his own personal benefits. He is a wily one, always thinking about how a situation may benefit himself.

To those without the aforementioned prestige or birth, he is far less courteous. Aurélion displays no empathy nor remorse in his dealings with others, his stoic and friendly demeanor shedding away to expose a bitter and angry old man with no care for others. Even worse, he has been known to hold a great temper and even disdain for many unfortunate to catch him on a bad day and lack the name or titles to defend themselves from his ire.

All in all, Aurélion is a man firmly entrenched in both his beliefs and duty. Regardless of his own emotions he will represent his family and all within to the upmost of care, showing respect to those he deems worthy. His word is his greatest treasure and so he is very careful in giving it and even more driven in carrying it out.

## Biography

Aurélion was born around the town of Andorhal in Lordaeron in 570K.Y. to Lord Averill and Lady Carmella, second son of three. As the second son and assumed to be out of the succession of his family's titles, he was groomed since childhood in the art of battle and presentation, to represent the family on the battlefield and to never bring shame upon their name. His father and elder brother went out on a hunt and failed to return, their bodies found days later, when Aurélion was only eleven years of age. Now given all the titles and duties he was never prepared for, his mother would see to his education for the next few years until her own death of sickness.

His earlier grooming failed to vanish however, he hungered to prove his value and honor on the battlefield despite the danger it would pose to his family's continued survival. When news came from south of the Kingdom of Stormwind's plight, despite the assurance to the Lordaeronian Nobles of its insignificance, Aurélion ventured south with all capable hands of his holdings - many of which where his friends - to fight off this minor squabble and prove their worth and bring honor upon their names. Only four returned, devastating his family's holdings for years to come due to the lack of capable hands to work the fields and surrounding lands. As well, Aurélion himself was never the same and discarded his old family name, taking up "Graves" to atone for his sin.

When Lordaeron rallied to fight in the Second War against the Orc menace, Aurélion was quick to enlist. Given a position of leadership in the army and trained as a paladin by the Silver Hand, he would go on to claim many Orc Lives with great apathy towards their kind, earning him the nickname of "Wraith of the Battlefield" due to his quick movements and vicious killing. When the war had ended and he returned to his lands, his brother - given charge of the lands in his absence - was dead and the titles split amongst their vassals and liege. From there, the Graves family and Aurélion migrated south to join the now-rebuilding Kingdom of Stormwind to start anew, chewing out a piece of land wedged between the Black Morass and the jungle of Stranglethorn, naming it Wraithelm in honor of his hard-earned nickname.
