Guillaume Auclair, better known by his friends and companions as Billy, is an experienced mining foreman from the duchy of Westridge in the Kingdom of Stormwind. During the Stormwind Civil War he abandoned his home there to fight with the Army of Northern Elwynn. He’s noted as a calm, temperate and jovial man who, by most accounts, is quite average. He earned notable accolades among the Salfordshire citizenry during the Second Battle of the Lyndis Valley, where the company under his command led the skillful and successful defense of the Drunken Duck Inn. He is known to credit his success to being 'an unexceptional man in an exceptional circumstance.' Nevertheless a popular figure and hero of the war in Salfordshire, Billy has leveraged this popularity into a political career in the House of Commons.

## Description

Guillaume boasts an entirely average frame; he stands at six foot in height and has earned a muscular, though not particularly robust, physique through his years of labor in the mines. His hands are etched with thick calluses which are broken up by numerous small scars created by his profession, though the missing nail of his left small finger is more noticeable than any of them.

Thick, slightly curly dark brown locks grow upward from his scalp when not weighed down flat against his head by sweat. Piercing, light-blue eyes sit slightly too far apart above an enlarged, beak-like nose. The dimpled chin he was once proud of his now obscured behind a short beard which sits neatly around an oval face.

## Personality and Beliefs

Known for his caution and even temper, Guillaume is seldom the life of the party. Nonetheless, the majority of his acquaintances speak fondly of his steadfastness, sincerity and agreeable nature. While never known to overindulge in drink, he has been observed to limit himself even further since the end of the civil war and to more closely follow the teachings of the Dawist faith.

## History

Guillaume has not lived an exciting life. Raised into a rural, common-folk family a few miles outside of the city of Ferrum, he began the life of a laborer at a young age alongside many who lived near the mines of Wanduke. While he excelled at both the manual work and, eventually, at leading and organizing teams of miners, this served as the extent of his education.

He left Westridge a few years before the outbreak of the Civil War to escape the oppressive and bloody rule of his local lord much to the chagrin of his loyalist relatives. When the war began, however, he enlisted in the Army of Northern Elwynn and was granted the rank of Lieutenant due to his experience in leadership relative to most of his newfound compatriots.

His greatest distinction came during the Second Battle of Lindis Valley. After the falling of his captain, Guillaume assumed command of the troops at the Drunken Duck Inn and is credited with helping to ensure an Army of Northern Elwynn victory in the greater battle. Although permanently elevated to the rank of Captain, he eagerly retired from the life of a soldier at the end of the conflict.
