Edryc Sutton

**Edryc Sutton** is the second son of the Duke of Newcastle and his lady wife, Katherine. He is a Knight of the Brotherhood of the Horse and has served the Grand Alliance on three continents during conflicts with the Horde. In addition to his military career, the young Viscount has helped to run his elder brother's foundation for the restoration of Stormwind's park district and is the patron of his own small charity, the Westfall Trust. Edryc was recently slain in combat during the Siege of Orgrimmar.

## Description

Tall and athletic in appearance, he appears to be somewhere in his twenties. His broad chest looks as though it was carved from stone and at a simple glance, it becomes clear that he is no stranger to intense, physical training. Often clean-shaven, his hair is closely-cropped. With grey eyes and a charming smile, he'd likely considered a handsome young man.

Always polite and well-spoken, Edryc speaks with a slight accent, common to the people of Western Azeroth, suggesting that he did not grow up within the walls of Stormwind city. His posture and the way he moves in the training yard would indicate that he was well-trained by a master-at-arms and seasoned in combat.

## Personality

### Politics

Like all Suttons, Edryc has always had a good mind for politics and has attended King Varian's Court on numerous occasions while acting in his father's stead. He is a firm believer that the Nobility should serve the Kingdom's military during war time and has done so personally since attaining his Knighthood.

### Charity

After serving as an administrator of his brother's foundation for the restoration of Stormwind's park district, Edryc took on the patronage of a charitable foundation known as the Westfall Trust, which raises money for the downtrodden citizens of Westfall, helping them to rebuild homes, plant crops and return the Western region to some semblance of prosperity.

### Relationships

Edryc has always maintained a close relationship with his family, though he does not always agree with his father's decisions. Though he has many acquantances, Edryc has only a handful of close friends, most of which are fellow Knights of the Brotherhood of the Horse. He never married, and died without any children.

## History

### Early Years

The second son of Henry and Katherine Sutton, Edryc was born into an old and proud Stormwind family, whose origins date back to the Kingdom's earliest days. Afforded the very best in education, he spent much of his youth learning the ways of chivalry and politics. He was groomed from birth to serve as a Knight of the Brotherhood of the Horse and rise through the ranks of Stormwind's military. At the age of seven, he began his service as a page to his father's childhood friend, Sir Barret Easton, a renowned Knight of the Brotherhood. Throughout his minority and to this day, he is known by courtesy as Viscount Sutton of Castle Rock.

### The Life of a Squire

At ten, Edryc was taken on as Sir Barret's personal squire and would travel to three different continents while assisting the aging Knight and honing his skills. At thirteen, he participated in a Tournament in Elwynn and took first runner up in the melee and was unhorsed by Sir Marcus Duran in the joust. Dismayed by his poor performance in the joust, Edryc spent the next two years training on horseback and would later take first runner up in a tournament held at his sister's wedding anniversary in Willowbrook.

### Knighthood

At seventeen years old, Edryc traveled to Kalimdor while serving with Sir Barret against the Horde. When Sir Barret was wounded in battle, the young squire rushed to his aid and slew the orc in single combat. For his outstanding bravery, Sir barret Knighted him there on the battlefield.

Just after his eighteenth birthday, Edryc was formally inducted into the Brotherhood of the Horse in a ceremony held at Stormwind Keep.

## Military Career

Edryc fought in three battles on the continent of Kalimdor, serving on active duty in his father's regiment in the barrens.

### Swamp of Sorrows

### Pandaria

## Death
