Demon Hunter
As taught by his Shan’do, Tharion Greyseer, Taldarion’s most common appearance follows the traditions of the demon hunter caste, except that his shoulders are adorned with totems representative of the many powers within him. The look affords him the increased attack speed and styles typically associated with his caste, as well as a “signature” look to define him from his demon hunter companions. It is believed by some that his look is based on shamanic attire, possibly hinting at a bond with his adopted father, the druid Faeroh Moonreign.

Armored
Typically, Taldarion wears a mixture of the black dragonscale armor he crafted himself (in his days as a dragonscale leatherworker), as well as the class-specific beastmaster armor. Clad therefore in a mixture of black, gold, gray, and red, Taldarion often wears the colors of the Netherbane while in the field.

Kal'Zaram
((in progress))

Netherscythe
In an alternate future, long after the demise of the Greyseer, Taldarion becomes a powerful Hunter capable of weilding the magically-enhanced Netherscythe. Armed with the enormous warglaive, Taldarion seeks out his estranged father and rebuilds the Netherbane school based on the Greyseer's teachings.

History
Taldarion has the rather unfortunate issue of being bound to multiple demons, an affliction that was caused by inappropriately focused training early in his path. The “adopted son” of the ancient druid Faeroh Moonreign, Taldarion and his father have only recently reconciled due to Faeroh’s role in creating Taldarion’s affliction. Though he has spent most of his life fighting against the demons that rage inside him, Taldarion seems to have returned to the Netherbane after a brief hiatus, in much better control of his powers (thanks in no uncertain terms to the female warlock, Vixeena Windfoot). Taking the new surname “Shatterbound,” he is quickly becoming a dependable second to Tharion. He is quite loyal to Vixeena, thoguh the relationship between the two struggles because of the warlocks inability to trust in Tal's feelings. Stories of Taldarion’s past are incomplete, to say the least, and he does not speak on the topic at length to anyone, even those closest. The recent events surrounding his change of name and the recovery of Kal'Zaram have forced Taldarion to be more open to the others, and he has revealed a few facts, though he is still quite reluctant, and only speaks of the basics. What is known is that Taldarion grew up in the Feralas area of Kalimdor, where he was married to a female Kaldorei named Anatolei Duskmantle. In the fight with a Nathrezim that cost Taldarion his eyes, Anatolei seemingly payed with her life. Taldarion spent decades in mourning, learning to live without sight. When he met Faeroh Moonreign, the elder druid promised to keep the secret of his blindness, and ultimately his failure, a secret.

Alignment:
Neutral-good, though in battle his mood seems to realign towards true neutral.

Personality:

 * Taldarion has an odd habit of addressing himself as "This One" when speaking with others, especially his higher ups. Though this behavior lapses from time to time, it is believed that this is an antiquated use of manners from his childhood.
 * Sometimes repeats the end of certain lines or adds "sayings like "that I am," "that it does," etc.  Mostly playful, Taldarion will sometimes use this line sarcastically against his enemies.
