User:Noelznliam/Koren Thuryn

Koren Lightbearer was a citizen of Stratholme and a high ranking officer in the Blades of Hope. One of a handful of survivors of the town of Stratholme after the Scourge attack, Koren moved to the town of Darkshire. Here he joined his friend Faustas Killsfarn, founder of the Blades of Hope, who taught him how to wield the Light. During the War in Northrend, Koren became a figurehead of both the Alliance forces and the Argent Crusade. During the war, he fell in love with Aleath Killsfarn, ex-wife of Faustas. They married shortly after the fall of the Lich King. However, this also proved to be his undoing. Blind with madness and rage, Faustas murdered Koren in cold blood, and committed suicide shortly afterwards.

It was not long before he was recognised for his strength, his agility and, most of all, his intelligence and logic, and was promoted to a Captain. It was around this time that he was sent to fight against the Orcs in Quel'thalas. During this time After the Second War was over, he returned to his home again, serving as a tactical adviser for over a decade.
