## Biography

### Early Life

Dasmond was born in Year 9BDP (-9) on a remote farm in eastern Hillsbrad. He was raised as a farmhand and was to one day inherit his family farm.

### The Second War

When Dasmond was 15, the Orcish Horde invaded Hillsbrad Foothills. As the Horde marched through the region they pillaged and plundered any farms they could find to fuel their large army. Dasmond's farm was attacked and his parents murdered. The Horde took Dasmond prisoner, intending to feed him to their dire wolves.

Dasmond thankfully was saved when the Alliance attacked the camp where Dasmond was being held. One of the Alliance Knights, then Knight Andrew Ferrule, rescued Dasmond and placed him under his care.

When it was discovered that his family had been murdered and that Dasmond was now an orphan, Andrew decided to adopt Dasmond. Dasmond travelled with Andrew acting as his squire throughout the war.

### Redbridge & The Annex of Alterac

When the Second War concluded, Andrew Ferrule was promoted to a Commander and was given command of the 2nd Lordaeronic Batallion, which would oversee the Lordaeronic annex over the Kingdom of Alterac.

Dasmond spent his time in Redbridge doing odd jobs for his new father and training to become a Knight. However, due to the high number of wounded men who often filtered through Redbridge due to fighting in the mountains, Dasmond, like many others, would be called upon to help care for the wounded, learning how to be a medic.

When Dasmond was 18 he was enlisted into the 2nd Batallion and served as a Soldier and Medic, until he eventually joined the Silver Hand as an Aspirant and then rose to become a Knight of the Silver Hand.

### The Third War

During the Third War, Dasmond participated in the fight against the Blackrock Orcs in Alterac as a member of the Silver Hand. He fought alongside Uther at the fighting in Hearthglen against the Scourge, and he marched with Uther to Stratholme, where Arthas would suspend the Silver Hand.

When the Silver Hand was suspended, Dasmond was sent south to Tirisfal Glades and posted at Honor's Retreat, a tavern that had been converted into a millitary camp to protect the pass into Tirisfal from the east. Dasmond was among the defenders when Honor's Retreat fell to the Scourge lead by Falric, but survived.

### The Scarlet Dawn

Dasmond would join the Scarlet Crusade under the alias 'Durwynn Shepherd' , serving the Scarlets from the Scarlet Monestary. One day however he heard that the Argent Dawn had repaired and settled in Honor's Retreat and decided to join them instead, signing on as a fresh recruit to avoid any suspicions. He maintained his guise in the Crusade and frequently travelled between the Monestary and the Retreat to keep up appearances.

Dasmond would go onto participate in the Argent Dawn's Tirisfal Campaign. One noteable mission would be one in which Dasmond travelled to the Dawning Isles along with his squad, which encountered the ghost of Lord Maelan Terimidias. Maelan had been enraged that another squad member, Karakk, had stolen his ring. Dasmond used the Light to cleanse the ring and bring peace to Maelan's spirit.

Dasmond also participated in the final fight against Thule Ravenclaw (Leader of the Tirisfal Scourge) which took place in the Shadowlands itself. In the Shadowlands, Dasmond teamed up with the ghost of *Alexandros Mograine* to battle with the Dreadlord *Balnazzar*.

### Stormwind

Upon the conclusion of the Tirisfal Campaign, Dasmond would travel with his Squad to Chillwind Camp in the Western Plaguelands and briefly continued his service before leaving the Argent Dawn and travelling south to Stormwind.

In Stormwind, Dasmond trained with the Stormwind wing of the Silver Hand and served them for a time

### Return to the Dawn

During the later half of Year 25, Dasmond decided to rejoin the Argent Dawn and travelled to Light's Hope Chapel. Dasmond rejoined his old Squad, Squad 6, and served under Captain Emberstar for a time. When Captain Emberstar dissapeared, Dasmond was promoted to Captain of Squad 6.

Dasmond served as Captain for a time, and participated in the 4th Siege of Light's Hope Chapel. During the battle, Dasmond used the Royal Crown of Lordaeron to commune with Lordaeron's spirits. The result of this was an unholy mark which haunted Dasmond and caused him great physical and mental pain. He also participated in the mission to Akrodan where he recovered a weapon dubbed 'The Replica', which mimiced the legendary weapon, The Archstrike. Dasmond ended up leaving the Argent Dawn temporarily to seek a cure for the mark.

He would return later having been cured and now serves the Squad under Captain Mordithan Blackwell. He maintains his Rank as Captain for the time being in case he needs to be assigned to captain a new squad.
