Aeliren Chesterhill

History
Aeliren Chesterhill was born 5 years prior to the construction of the Greymane Wall, in the port town of Keel Harbor, on the coast of Gilneas. His father, Sebastian, was a shipwright and his mother, Elisabeth, was a barmaid at the local inn. He had a sister, Emily, to whom he was the elder by a year.

Aeliren was largely untouched by the Second War. When the Wall was built, several people, including his father, cried out due to the closing of the harbors. However, when the Rebellion started several years later, while the Scourge were at the Wall, Sebastian was not amongst the rebel sympathisers who resided in Keel. Aeliren often took the Undertaker's Pass with Emily to help out those wounded by rebel bombardments.

Due to him being busy helping out, he didn't have time to cut his hair, and Emily teased him about it. One day, with some spare cloth, she made him a headband, and as of this day, he still wears it.

Then came one of the darkest days of his life, one that put him compleatly against the rebels. He and his sister were at opposite ends, tending to the wounded, when the bombardment started again. It hit near where Emily was. When Aeliren rushed over, he knew it was too late. From that day forth, he has a deep hatred for the rebels. There was a short funeral at Aderic's Repose, where she still lies to this day.

During the Rebellion, he turned of age and joined the Militia, staying there until he joined the army proper years later, shortly before the Worgen outbreak in Gilneas City.

When the rebel leaders were caught and brought in in chains, Aeliren walked up to one of them when they were on show, and spat at one of them, a redhaired one wearing an eyepatch.

During the Worgen outbreak, Aeliren was a sergeant in the Gilnean army. He didn't personally fight the Worgen, but saw many up close. Mostly dead ones. He got a glimpse of Josiah Avery's cursed corpse while helping getting the rebel canons out of the Avery's cellar. He had a hard time putting aside his differences with the rebels, but managed to work well with Lorna Crowley during the evacuation of the City. Shortly before leaving the City, he overheard a conversation between Genn Greymane and a familiar-looking man: The redhead rebel he spat on years before, Darius Crowley. Crowley appeared to have reckognised him as well, but didn't say a word. The next thing he knew he was escorting civilians to Duskhaven while Worgen were howling from the top of the Light's Dawn Cathedral.

When the Forsaken invasion started, Aeliren was stationned at the Allen's storm cellar, fighting in the Hammond Farmstead's fields. When the ground shook with such a high intensity that everyone fell on the ground, he knew it wasn't an earthquake or a bombardment. He warned as many militiamen as he could, and they retreated to the cellar, just as the earth retreated beneath their feet. When they evacuated to Stormglen, he developped a fear of spiders after a pretty large one attacked him behind the inn.

During the battle of Gilneas City, he had a happy reunion with his father, who was amongst the militiamen there. Together they fought Forsaken soldiers through the City. Tragically, a Dark Ranger mortally wounded Sebastian when they reached the bridge to the Greymane Court. In a rage, Aeliren struck down the highly-trained ranger and fired several shots into the dead body, before returning to his father's side. He knew the wound was mortal, but he stayed at his side till the end. When he reached the Court, he was informed that Prince Liam Greymane had taken an arrow meant for Genn.

After evacuating to Keel Harbor, Aeliren brought his mother the bad news. They went to the funeral, in Aderic's Repose once more, where Sebastian Chesterhill still lies to this day, next to his daughter. When he and his family evacuated Gilneas, they left for Stormwind. His mother still stays there today, but his cousin David left to settle the southern coast of the Blasted Lands, passing through Duskwood on his way.

Today, Aeliren serves in the Blades of Greymane, in the Airborne division. They are currently posted in Gilneas City.

Description
Aeliren is slightly shorter than average, and his skin is pale, since there is often alot of cloudy weather and rain in Gilneas. He proudly wears his uniform, a grey-blue colored leather armor with a tabard showing the colors of Gilneas. A pistol is usually found holstered at his side and two twin daggers are sheated at his waist. He has a short light brown goatee and his hair is neck-lenght on the sides, covering his ears. He always wears his headband, crafted for him by his sister.

An insignia with the emblem of the wolf identifies him as a member of the Blades of Greymane, and a smaller patch underneath shows that he is part of the Airborne division. On his right shoulder is a patch that identifies him as a Captain in the Gilneanarmy.

Personality
Aeliren isn't much of a talker. He likes to be around people, but doesn't talk too much. He is very empathic, though. However, when talking of his dead family, or if you were a past rebel, you won't find much kindness here. He'll probably be alot more cold or apathetic towards you.

He is very loyal. He knew that many lands had been seperated from the Kingdom when the Wall was built, that his father may lose his job, but he remained loyal to Gilneas throughout the Rebellion. He wouldn't hesitate to take a bullet for someone serving with him in the Blades of Greymane.

"Patriot" would be another word to describe Aeliren. He's been serving in the Gilnean military since he was a member of the town watch, and would live and die for Gilneas. He prefers drinking and eating Gilnean products, although they've become more rare since the Forsaken invasion.

Aeliren is a heavy smoker and occasionnal drinker. He doesn't like drinking too much as to getting drunk, but he won't refuse a glass or two. He can often be found smoking at inappropriate times, such as before or during a battle or during a wedding (Although he'll have the decency to leave the room to smoke).

Arsenal
Aeliren doesn't joke around when it comes to his safety. Including both daggers, he also has an array of weapons and gadgets.
 * Wrist-Mounted Rocket Launcher: Aeliren almsot always has his personally-crafted wrist launcher equipped on his left arm. It is cleverly hidden under his armor, but is easy to fire. Loading it doesn't take time at all, but he has to make the rockets himself, which isn't much of a problem.
 * Gilnean Pistol: A six-shooter pistol of Gilnean design is holstered to his waist. It used to belong to his father, who got it from his own father who served in the local militia. He takes great care of this pistol, and even modified it a bit himself.
 * Matchlock Carbine: Aeliren owns a simple, elegant rifle that he often uses when fighting from range. He mastered the "art" of reloading one, doing so under 20 seconds.
 * Modified Shotgun: His self-crafted, heavily modified Mark "S" Boomstick is his second favorite ranged weapon, if you can even call it that. The gun's canon was enlarged to fit larger bullets, the firing chamber was replaced and it can also be reloaded at an impressive speed of 40 seconds.
 * Headband: Crafted with love by his sister Emily, Aeliren always wears this headband. You'd have an easier time convincing Garrosh that peace between the Alliance and the Horde is a good solution than getting him to take it off. However, the cloth used in the creation if the headband is special: It can't dissolve, is very elastic and can easily be used as a rope to climb down a cliff or something similar.
 * Hidden Blades: A few hidden pop-up blades are hidden on his wrists. He rarely has to use them, but always keeps them sharp in case.
 * Mechanical Horse: Aeliren's own personally-crafted mechanical horse looks just like a swift gray steed, right down to several details. One thing however: This horse's hooves can also function on high-powered magnets. Magno-hooves, as he says. These magno-hooves can pull a heavy steel object to them from a 50 yard range in front of it. It can easily rip off a soldier's weapon or armor. In other cases, the person's belt. The magnetic field can be reduced or increased with a small switch on the back of the neck.
 * Rocket Boots: By pressing a switch on his glove, Aeliren can activate rockets on his boots, allowing him to blast off at an incredible speed.
 * Stealth Field Generator w/ Sound Dampener: Attached to his belt is a small electrical box that can activate an invisibility field around him, rendering him invisible to the naked eye. The generator includes a sound dampener that allows him to sneak around unheard or unnoticed.
