Name: Xanwryn

Age: Exact age unknown, was apart of the group of Draenei who escaped Argus with Velen.

Occupation: Vindicator

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Class/Race: Draenei Paladin

Appearance
Xanwryn is 7' 5" male Draenei with a bulky build. He has many minor scars and burns on his face from previous

battles but his most noticable facial features are a scar down his left cheek, his right eye has also been complete

burnt to the point where he can't see anything out of it.

He sports a large tattoo on his back, a testament to his time serving within the Hand of Argus. He also has a few

minor tattoos down his left arm, not all of which were willingly granted to him. His hooves have small chips taken

out of them, his hands are calloused and have been permanently scarred from encounters with the Burning

Legion.

Personality
During his training as a Paladin he learnt many more skills as well as the importance of prayer, how to give to

the Light and about laws and justice. Xanwryn has extreme faith in the Light but is rather skimp on laws and

traditions. Whilst he believes in holding those ideals with respect he doesn't feel people should be beholden

to them and feels they restrict many paths of life. Whilst Xanwryn believes that laws serve a purpose (to stop

outright chaos) he feels that one should not have to feel beholden to such laws. He is neither with law or

against it, and he has no quarrals with operating under the law but some laws he doesn't believe in and sometimes

he feels justice and good in general could be done without some laws.

Xanwryn, as a person, is generally kind-hearted, generous and helpful. As a former member of the Hand of Argus

he tries to help as many people as he can, regardless of their stature within the community. He can, however,

be found to be somewhat stubborn at times in regard to his opinions and his own ideals.

History
Xanwryn's history is a rather shadowed one, the bits and pieces of it that he does remember aren't necessarily

good memories and many of the good ones were snuffed out when his home planet was inevitably lost to the Burning

Legion. He doesn't talk about his history much but this is mostly because he has never actually been asked about

his past.

Xanwryn's father was a member of the Hand of Argus and it was he who trained Xanwryn many of his skills. He was

also a brilliant blacksmith and Xanwryn learnt many thing about forging with metals from him. His mother was a

Jewelcrafter, like many Draenei, and she passed her own skills to Xanwryn as well.

As a child Xanwryn was treated well by the people he came into contact with, his parents were respected not for

their status but for the generosity and kindness they showed when dealing with other people, traits that were

instilled into Xanwryn as well. It was rather inevitable that Xanwryn would follow the path of his father into

the Hand of Argus, having been educated into the forms of combat by his father, just as his grandfather had done

so for his own father.

Many of the pages of Xanwryn's history are blank and what is known is that he was apart of the defense against the

Burning Legion, he was alive to see his leaders betray him and his people and he was there to see his planet burn.

His parents, however, were among the many who weren't so lucky. An incident which has left Xanwryn rather bitter.

"Arriving" on Azeroth, Xanwryn seeked to help out as many as he could immediately before setting off to the lands

around him to see what they had gotten themselves into this time. On his travels he found the Dwarves, seeing that

they too had Paladins in their ranks and that they were extremely well-versed in combat he almost demanded to be

trained by one, and was eventually granted that honour. Not only did the Dwarves teach him more in combat prowess

but they also taught him about something else: ale.

Before then Xanwryn didn't drink much alcohol but after learning about it he became reliant on it. Slowly slipping

down the path of alcholism to drown out the memories of his parents, his friends, his people, and his homeland. He

was advised to get help and attempted to do so but when the final confrontation came between the Burning Legion

and what was to become of the Third War he slipped back into the drink and hasn't come out much ever since. To the

normal person, Xanwryn seems like a kind and loyal Paladin, happy and joyful but deep down, like many of his

people, he fights a losing battle for his own sanity. Whilst he still has much faith in the Light he also has

faith in a bottle cheap wine.
