Baron Magnus Valerius is a Duskwoodian nobleman of Lordaeronian descent who rules over the Barony of Blodwyn's Weald, in Duskwood. He has served with the Church of the Holy Light for fifteen years of his thirty-year-long life, spending much of his time shunned by the majority of his fellows due to his chosen professions: first, that of an Exorcist, and then that of an Occult Expert. Working in all matters of the dark, Lord Valerius is known throughout the Kingdoms for his work against the Undead - Scourge and otherwise - as well as the Cult of the Damned, along with his work involving possessions, corruption, and curses. In his time in the Clergy, he has attained the rank of Deacon, serving Duskwood - and while this is not necessarily a prestigious rank, he serves it with pride and fervor.

## Personality & Beliefs

Lord Valerius is a very proud man, in both countenance and practice. Often coming across as stoic, it may take a bit of time for the man's hardened exterior to soften - but soften it will. Especially in the presence of his daughter or those in need of his particular brand of assistance, Magnus can be a tender, compassionate individual, with a passion for helping those less fortunate than himself. Despite this, the man may sometimes be quick to temper - and, provided the right circumstances, can become downright violent. His alignment is best defined as chaotic-good, being a rather mysterious individual working in many of Azeroth's unsavoury elements, but is typically well-intentioned with his desire to help those in genuine need of the services he can provide.

## Description

Magnus is a rather massive man, in every sense of the word. Almost as wide as he is tall, he stands at a towering six feet, nine inches - and when shifted into an afflicted state, his lupine height gains three more feet. Possessing a groomed mane of stark black hair usually kept slicked back upon his crown, with a trimmed, thick beard upon his boxy cheeks, the ash-gazed man is a rather striking individual - handsome, and somewhat alarming. With eye sockets painted black with soot, and fingernails painted a similar tone, he stands out from the Holy crowd he is often towering amongst.

## Titles

### Baron of Blodwyn's Weald

Magnus is the Baron of Blodwyn's Weald, a small hamlet to Duskwood's northwest section, composed of dense forests and two towns: Blackhearth and Pyre's Edge.

### Deacon of Duskwood

Baron Valerius serves as Duskwood's chief Exorcist and Occult Expert, having also attained the rank of Deacon amongst what meager clergy the region has. He is formally referred to as 'Father' by his colleagues and those seeking out his services.

## House

Magnus is the serving Lord and heir of House Valerius. Rooted in Lordaeron and migrated to Duskwood, House Valerius has served the Alliance faithfully since its establishment in 429 KY, when King Adamant Wrynn II granted Augustus Gaius Valerius a small barony nestled in the mountains of Lordaeron for his exemplary service in the military.
