**Edward Leon Stede** is Stormwindian Knight and Magus. He spent over a decade within the Stormwind Navy honing various skills; marksmanship, essential medical skills, and others. During his downtime in the Navy, he’d often travel to Dalaran or speak with other Battle Magi on the field, study books to further his magical knowledge.

## Personality & Beliefs

Edward carries himself with a certain amount of stoicism. It’s troublesome to tell what the man is thinking at any given time. He’ll disclose seldom about himself, only doing so when insisted upon or the conversation hails for it. This doesn’t mean he won’t stand up for what he believes in, in-fact that’s quite the opposite. He’ll be outspoken about his views and firm on his principles regardless if it fits the current atmosphere of the room.

He might seem distant or apathetic at times, simply because his mind is wandering elsewhere or merely cause he doesn’t care for the discussion at hand, but typically he’s receptive enough to socialize with folks about general affairs and happenings.

Edward maintains a personal set of moral codes and personal beliefs that have developed from his personal experiences. He bears an immense prejudice against all undead, Death Knights included. He is immensely suspicious any user of forbidden or dark arts such as Necromancy, Fel or Void. Considering them a threat at all moments till proven otherwise.

## Description

Edward looked worn out, even for a seasoned warrior. Gray and white streaked through his long locks of hair and beard; he had scars littered across his weathered face and well-built physique. The most dominant are these scars are ten whip scars layered upon his back in a cross formation. Along with that branding from the cult of damned scorched into his left-side, above his kidney.

There are mysterious, magical scars decorating his left hand and arm. A veteran spellcaster could easily tell these were signs of arcane corruption from excessive use.

They’re several tattoos bedecking his body that are obscured at all times by his armor; a black and white manuscript of the virtues of the light on his right arm. A small dulled fire ball on the right-arm. A voluptuous pin-up girl posing adorned his left biceps. A Stormwind anchor spotting the colours of gold and blue rested upon his left-arm. A blue lily with the name Jessica written in cursive underneath also adorned his left-arm.

## Biography

Edward was born to a shattered home, and poverty during the year 600 K.Y on July 28th. Edward’s father Leon abandoned him, and his brother Luka shortly after. This left their poor mother Jocelyn to pick up the slack left, which she tried her best to do so, but it was a futile effort.

During Edward’s childhood he and his brother would roam the streets of Stormwind, committing frivolous misdemeanors such a theft, vandalism and other minor troubles. This caused Edward to spend many nights within the Stockade, yet this resolved nothing for the young lad. He continued about his criminal ways into young adulthood.

Edward’s luck eventually ran out as they finally caught him once again and tried for his crimes as an adult. The magistrate he was brought forth gave no heed, sentencing him to four years within the Stockades. During this time, he met a prisoner worker, a medic named Jessica. They grew close over the years as they spoke for minutes each day during her routine rounds.

One day Jessica brought him a paper, an enlistment sheet for the Stormwind Navy. She explained the Kingdom would pardon and released him from the Stockades early if he signed up and that she had enlisted already. He didn’t hesitate, signing that sheet within mere moments of it being placed in his hands. Once released, he and Jess went off to get married. Shortly thereafter, they were deployed to Northrend.

Northrend is where everything went wrong for Edward, changing him into the person he is today. He lost everything within those frozen wastelands. The cult of the damned slaughtered his wife. His best friend shredded apart by ghouls. His deterioration as a leader as he marched his battalion to death in a desperate attempt to save his wife who was already long dead. The cult of the damned captured him. All of these events changed his life drastically.

Shortly after, the war had ended in Northrend. He sought power to decimate everything within his path, seeking out the Kirin Tor to study underneath downing his downtime from his military duties. All he did was sleep and eat magic for years when he wasn’t fighting. He abused it without care, being reckless with the arcana, bestowed upon him, decimating the horde or any other enemy of the alliance without mercy as he channeled his grief and hatred into the only cause, goal left in his life.

Edward kept fighting, partaking in every war the alliance had a hand in. That’s all he had left, all he cared about, as he went down a reckless path. He destroyed his body with arcana and other addictions to ignore the physical and mental pain flowing through him.

Eventually, he met a new partner, and a group of people known as Summerfast. During the three years of peace, they changed his outlook on life. They made him reconsider all the destruction and hatred he harbored within. He was given a chance to set forth on an alternative path, a new start which he embraced, becoming an official Knight of Stormwind and Summerfast when Lord Theodore Bennas deemed him worthy.

After three years of service to Summerfast, Edward departed from the Lord Theodore Benna's service and found himself wandering about the Dragon Isles, guiding knowledge regarding these new lands.
