=Biography=

House Haldenton
Originally part of the nobility of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Haldenton family moved to Gilneas sometime prior to the first war. As part of the upper crust of Gilneas, the Haldenton family prospered greatly. Holding their own large mansion and hundreds of acres of farm land in the northern side of the kingdom, House Haldenton was highly regarded for years in Gilnean society.

Just prior to the third war, House Haldenton was lead by Lord Johnathon Haldenton, a former Knight who served in the second War. Johnathon Haldenton and his wife, Patricia, were ailing in health at the time. He had three children, the eldest of which being his first son, Blane Haldenton.

The Third War: Rise of House Duskreaver
As the third war raged to the north, where Arthas Menethil had just killed his father, the Greymane Wall was closed to seal the Scourge out of Gilneas. While the gate protected them, it was believed that it was only a matter of time until the Scourge still broke into Gilneas. In an attempt to protect Gilneas, Archmage Arugal summoned forth the worgen, but the curse soon gripped Gilneas.

As Gilneans began to be converted into the beastly worgen, Blane Haldenton believed that their family's vast fortune would protect them from harm. He hired numerous guards to protect the mansion from worgen and various alchemists to attempt to find a cure. Unfortunately, money could not save the family, and soon the entire nobility was cursed alongside the rest of the Kingdom.

Initially Blane thought of his new worgen form as what it truly was: a curse. However, over time a combination of his own mentality becoming more beastly and the efforts of his countrymen to contact the outside world, Blane came to think of the worgen curse as a gift which made Gilneans far superior to all other sentient races in Azeroth.

Now the patriarch of his noble house, Blane discarded the Haldenton name and converted the entire family's name to that of Duskreaver, a more suitable name for worgen.

The Cataclysm
Blane was one of the last Gilneans to actually leave Gilneas. He missed the boats the Night Elves used in the evacuation. Blane, at the time, was more preoccupied with maintaining his mansion and land, protecting it from inevitable invasion. Eventually he did flee, heading south on foot until he reached the Kingdom of Stormwind. He stayed in various inns, taking potions to ensure that he didn't lose his sanity and succumb to primal instinct and rage. In Darkshire, he contacted his cousin, Hugh Wicktor, a known doctor. Hugh eventually agreed to mass produce the potion required to ensure Blane would always remain in control of the curse.

Content, Blane bides his time in the Kingdom of Stormwind, quietly seeking other like minded individuals to aid him in his rebellion against the Alliance to free Gilneas and restore its isolationism.

=Personality= Blane Duskreaver is heavily biased against the Alliance. Feeling that Gilneas can continue to defend itself, Duskreaver was very upset by Genn Greymane bringing Gilneas into the Alliance. While he would never speak ill of his King publicly, Duskreaver questions Greymane's motives. Blane despises most of the Alliance, and in particular the humans, feeling that the humans are hypocrites for not allowing the Forsaken (who like the worgen were formerly human) into the Alliance fold, but instead taking back the worgen. He also despises King Varian Wrynn, who's anti-Horde propaganda mostly concerns "defeating monsters." Blane considers this an attack against Gilneans as well.

He is willing to defend Gilneas from both the Alliance entering the Kingdom and any attacks the Horde makes on the Kingdom.
