## Personality & Beliefs

For the breadth of his life, the Lordling has been as stone: cold, strong, and unyielding. Yet, stone can be chiseled, and from hard shapeless rock, be given form and made anew. With the patience of time, he has changed and grown, like words that become poetry that become song, within the stone he was once so characterized by are riches untold, laden with gold and likewise valuables for those adventurous enough to search for such treasure's midst an otherwise callous, storied soul.

Years of waging wars in far-flung places, stemming the tide of such otherworldly corruption on Gilnean soil and beyond have seen him witness to countless atrocities. He's suffered loss aplenty, just as many others have, yet struggles to manage his personal follies with each passing day, all of which are cleverly veiled behind a false confidence and bravado.

## Description

Hues of glacier meltwater were framed by brows of midnight made manifest, a ruggedly handsome countenance graced by high cheekbones and well-kept beard which hugged tightly to a strong jawline. Undoubtedly gifted with such features via a favorable pedigree, and through a healthy physical regimen.

The fallacious illusion of untouchability upheld is disassembled by a mere glance beneath the confines of enchantment-laden armaments, for beneath, burns and scars run frequent, a river of wounds course down his broad chest, and likewise robust abdominals, past lessons -- nay, past failures, made material. Scars coil up his form, burn-laden and consequence-riddled the same; his body everlastingly marred by injury, its duration flensed irreparably, scars well-earned enshrouded by streaks of blackened tissue, whose veins therein course across as vibrant violet tincture. Thickly corded muscle encapsulates the man's frame, of broad shoulders, chiseled torso, and arms so strong they could have easily been mistaken for granite pillars. He was indefatigable.

## Biography

Born into **House Hawkline**, Gonsh had begun in humility - raised up isolated from influence, save from his father Renault Hawkline, who had reaped the benefits of his own military career, having been granted lordship by King Genn Greymane for a vitalized countercharge at Blackrock Mountain in the First War. A swift study, the young Gilnean had made himself known in his own respect as a prodigal scholar, and exceptional diplomat, tutored by some of the finest that money and connections could provide.

A bitter hatred for the Horde had soon been garnered, not from the perpetual conflict waged upon foreign lands, but from a confluence of hearsay of the First and Second War from former head of house Lord Renault Hawkline, and more importantly that dreadful day when the Forsaken dared to lay siege to Gilneas. His family was butchered by Orcish and Undead invaders alike, whilst he looked on with pedantic horror, hopes fleeting as they'd razed all he had come to know, incapable of stifling their efforts. Since then, he has served in every war involving the Horde, his seething hatred shone for all to see. Given opulent time for contemplation, the fires of war now lay dormant in his breast.

Gonsh found himself deeply immersed in the horrors of undeath for a hefty sum of his lifetime, his swordsmanship refined in a setting painted by decay, honed against the withering flesh and brittle bone of the undead, and this had soon molded him into a swordsman of exceptional renown.

A recent land grab attributed to a sizable treasury, as well as for his efforts serving in the Broken Shore, and during the Third and Fourth War have seen him now hold ownership over the Barony of Silverholme, in Elwynn Forest.
