Koval

Personality
Koval Belfaust is, in as few words as possible, tough. Tough but fair. He is a man bred for war and does not disapoint in that aspect. His ferocity in battle is only matched by his persistance and stalwart defense of his people.

Koval's personality is considerably cold at first meeting. He comes off as dismissive and mean, and often that is the case. However, he operates on a level of "tough love" with his troops. Never do they doubt his willingness to sacrifice himself for them and he demands the same level of loyalty in return.

Off the battlefield, with his family, he takes a more caring approach. While with his sons he often implements his strong armed approach, with his wife and daughter he is described as a "big softy." Like with his fellow soldiers, he would do anything to protect his family.

Koval is a man of true loyalty with a strong national spirit to the people of Gilneas. While he would have gladly fought in the Third War, his duty was to his people first, and made no hesitation to join them behind the wall. His loyalty borders on the extreme, creating a strong distrust of other races and other factions of the human race. The application of the Worgen curse has only strengthened his bond to his people, now sharing in a unifying curse - seperating them from the rest of the Alliance.

Early Years
Koval was born into the Belfaust family, the second of two children. His brother, Janis, was older than him by four years. Koval's father, Tyron, was a proud and respected warrior among their people. Their mother, Ralel, was known for a beauty only matched by her devotion to her family. The Belfausts had been warriors dating all the way back to the Troll Wars. Koval's family lived in the kingdom of Gilneas.

Both Koval and Janis were trained in the ways of combat from the moment they could hold a weapon. The brothers sparred and trained daily, and did so with playfulness and youthful determination. Janis, having several years on his younger brother, was more skilled than Koval in the art of combat, by Koval made up for this with his ferocity and determination. Tyron fueled this competitive nature by granting the determined "winner" of that day with larger meals, a better bed, and constant praise. Koval was never the object of his father's affection. However Ralel made sure Koval knew he was loved, and was always there to comfort him in his times of doubt. By the time Koval had turned 20, the First War had begun.
