Melanthian

=Physical Description= Perpetually clad in heavy armor, Melanthian is heavily built (for an elf) but lacks most of the characteristics one would find in successful adventurers: his kit is of appreciable quality but in desperate need of an armorer's care, while his weapon and shield are, if possible, in even worse shape. Most of his expressions have a tinge of weariness about them, and on the good days one still feels a bit of relief if they can stand upwind of him.

=Personality= Off the battle field, Melanthian is generally courteous to strangers, polite when spoken to, and overall a bit distant; however, those who earn his ire are treated to a frigid and violent rage. In combat, he possesses a focus bordering on a sort of dementia, resting rarely and for as little time as possible. Oddly, he has never shown any signs of enjoying battle, nor any sort of bloodlust.

=History= The houses da Lossanar and da Lossilma were once reasonably well-respected among the various elves: solidly mediocre, they produced no members of any note, for good or ill. Unfortunately, that changed with the formation of the Blood Elves. Although the two houses debated at length, the decision was eventually made to throw their lot in with the Sin'dorei. Slowly at first, and then more rapidly, members of both houses succumbed to addiction and became Wretched, until the last semi-notable member, Ausial da Lossilma, fell perhaps a few months before the joining of Silvermoon with the Horde. To date no known members of the da Lossilma house exist in polite society; Melanthian is the last member of the da Lossanar house. These days many treat the names with pity or scorn-- for this reason, Melanthian rarely gives out his family name when he can avoid it.
