Birth
Alex and I were born in Tranquillien, which is why I am often referred to as Jarius of Tranquillien. We were born around the time the Horde attacked Khaz Modan. I was born 30 minute before Alex, a fact that I constantly remind him of, much to his annoyance. I also annoy him by calling by his full name of Alexander, which he hates.

Brothers Goldblood Separated
About ten months after Alex and me were born, our parents and Raijin went off to defend Quel'Thalas from the invading Orcs and Forest Trolls. Being rangers, they both fought under the command of Sylvanas Windrunner, the famous Ranger-General of Silvermoon. Both of my parents died during said invasion. The death of dad left my brothers and me as the last of the Goldblood bloodline. However, Raijin was seriously wounded during the invasion and was left in a coma for years. Naturally, that meant that he could not care for Alex and me. Mom was estranged from her family due to her marrying dad instead of the man she had been arranged to marry, as per family customs. Despite that, the Brightwing family took in Alex. However, they refused to take in Raijin and me. I ended up being adopted by Viridiel Dawnstar. Raijin ended up in the care of Silvermoon City priests during his coma.

On the Move
Following my adoption, I moved from Tranquillien to Dawnstar Spire, which is South of Forest Troll village of Zeb'Sora. I'm sure you know this but Dawnstar Spire is named for Viridiel. Viridiel was a very famous warrior. His fame as a warrior was probably what inspired me to become a warrior. During my childhood, Dawnstar Spire was used to keep watch on Zeb'Sora. An army was always on hand in case those trolls of the Shadowpine tribe tried something funny. Viridiel was in command of that army, and those trolls always tried something funny. They were always up to something. Attacking Suncrown Village, Farstrider Enclave, Dawnspire Spire, not to mention trying to slip by and attack Silvermoon City and Tranquillien. Since Farstrider Enclave was nearby, rangers were often stationed at Dawnstar Spire. I befriended a ranger named Lor'themar Theron, the reagent ruler of Quel'Thalas after that incident that I'll explain later. At the time I met him, he was second-in-command to Sylvanas Windrunner, then Ranger-General of Silvermoon. Another person who lived at Dawnspire Spire was Dar'Khan Drathir. The moment I met him, I knew he was bad news. I just didn't realize how bad that news was. I'll explain later.

Fall of Silvermoon
Around the time the plague of undeath began ravaging Lordaeron, I left Dawnstar Spire and went to Silvermoon City to begin training as a warrior. Just before I left, Viridiel reveled to me the existence of my brothers Raijin and Alex and explained how my parents died. He also told me that he was the man that my mom had been arranged to marry. However, he explained to me that he had been in love with another woman the way my mom was in love with my dad. In fact, Viridiel married his wife in the same ceremony that my parents were married in. That's messed up. Anyways, when I arrived in Silvermoon City, the task of my training was given to a middle aged High Elf named Pathaleon. I also learned Mining and Blacksmithing at the same time. Before my training could be completed, the Scourge, led by the death knight Arthas Menethil, began their attack on Quel'Thalas. After the Scourge were let into Quel'Thalas by Dar'Khan Drathir, the same Dar'Khan Drathir who I use to live with, the Scourge began their rampage on their way to the Sunwell. When the Scourge finally reached Silvermoon City, after being delayed by the efforts of Sylvanas Windrunner and her Ranger Corps, many began to flee. I stayed and fought, but eventually fled along with several of my comrades in order to save myself from the Scourge.

Children of the Blood
The majority of the Scourge army left Quel'Thalas after plunging the body of the fallen necromancer Kel'Thuzad into the Sunwell. However, the Scourge forces left behind began hunting down the remaining citizens of Quel'Thalas. Lucky for us, Prince Kael'thas, who had been in Dalaran at the time the Scourge's invasion of Quel'Thalas, finally returned. With spirits raised, we rallied against the Scourge. We reclaimed as much of Quel'Thalas as we could and burned many of the enchanted forests to spite the Scourge. After gathering up any able bodied soldiers, we headed off to join up with the remnants of the Alliance forces left over in Lordaeron.

Silverpine Forest
Grand Marshal Garithos, the de-facto leader of Alliance forces in Lordaeron, ordered us to gather supllies from ruined villages in Silverpine Forest. He despised any race that was not human. The same way that non human races despised him. He sent us to gather supllies from ruined villages in Silverpine Forest.

Strangers in a New Land
When we emerged from the portal, we were in an unfamiliar place. It turned out that we had been transported to Outland, aka the Orcs former homeland of Draenor.

Battle of Kirin'Var Village
Of all the things that have happened in my life, this is the only thing that I regret. This is when I began to have doubts about the sanity of Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider and the direction he was taking the Sin'dorei.

Follow the Light
About a week or two after the Scryers defected from Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, I approached an aging Aldor Vindicator named Jaeden about training as a Paladin, Blood Knight since I'm a Blood Elf. Jaeden initially refused to train me until I told him that I would do any task that they put in front of me. He smiled and agreed. He gave me a Crystalblade of the Draenei. I asked him if I could get a second one because I wanted to integrate my warrior skills into my fighting. He simply smiled and gave me a second one. We then traveled to Netherstorm via Gryphons.

Trial of Forgiveness
We landed in Area 52. We rode from there to Kirin'Var Village. Several spirits of slain Kirin Tor wizards spotted us. Panicing, I drew my blades.

Gorefiend Returns
My brother Alex, who was trained as a demon hunter by Illidan, was tricked by him into releasing Teron Gorefiend from the Altar of Shadows. Gorefiend then possessed Alex's body and used him to slay Karsius the Ancient Watcher, Gorefiend's ethereal draenei jailor. After Gorefiend escapes, Alex wandered Shadowmoon Valley until he collapsed close to the Sanctum of the Stars. I found him while I was searching for Gorefiend. He was in very bad shape when I found him. I healed him as best I could and took him back to the Sanctum of the Stars.

Identity Revealed
When the healers stationed at the Sanctum of the Stars examined Alex, they discovered an Illidari badge on him. After healing him, he was interrogated, where he revealed that he had been tricked into releasing Gorefiend, and was tossed aside by Illidan afterward. He also revealed that the Altar of Shadows was where Gorefiend was being held. After agreeing to show us where the Altar of Shadows was at, Alex and I, along with a small force, set off for the Altar of Shadows.

Massacre at the Altar of Shadows
This was a disaster from the moment we left the Sanctum of the Stars. We were suppose to investigate the Altar of Shadows to find some clues as to Gorefiend's whereabouts. We had no idea that Gorefiend was actually at the Altar of Shadows with several death knights. Needless to say, nearly my whole force was wiped out. Besides Alex and me, there were only two other survivors. Thus began the Goldblood Gorefiend Conflict.

Battle of Ata'mal Terrace
We had learned that Gorefiend had intended to meet with Illidan about forming an alliance. Remar Sunfire, my direct superior and second in command of the Scryers, decided to send myself and a Scryers strike force to Ata'mal Terrace, where the meeting was suppose to take place. It never occurred to Remar, at least that's what I thought at the time, that there would be a massive Illidari force guarding the meeting.

Failed Assassination
Remar had ordered me to travel to Netherwing Fields with a Blood Elf rogue. We were to meet with Mordenai, a member of the Netherwing Dragonflight, about forming an alliance. We got on Nerdrac, left Shattrath City, and headed to the Sanctum of the Stars. After landing, I left Nerdrac behind and set off with the rogue. A few minutes later, the rogue began to fall behind me. Or so I thought. I realized that my comrade about about to stab me in the back. I turned, drawing my sword, and cut both of his arms off in one motion. He started screaming, not suprising since I just sliced both of his arms off. I grabbed him by his shirt collar and demanded an explaination for why he just tried to kill me. His answer was a shocker. It was Remar who had ordered me killed. I grabbed the rogue by his collar and dragged him back to the Sanctum of the Stars.

Confronting Remar
What kind of sick person would send a twenty year old who is married with a one year old son to his death? It just didn't make any sense to me. Sending me and another Blood Elf on a diplomatic mission as a cover for an assassination attempt on my life en route to the meeting spot since there will be no witnesses. That Blood Elf rogue was lucky I didn't kill him. Commander Hobb greeted me as I returned to the Sanctum of the Stars. Noticing the wounded Blood Elf, Hobb asked me what happened. Explaining to Hobb what had happened, I asked him to send someone else to meet with the Netherwing dragonflight. Hobb said that he would and explained that he was suspicious that a rogue was sent on a diplomatic mission with me instead of one of the higher ups. He also told me that I was a better leader than Remar and that he wasn't the only one who thought that. Grabbing the Blood Elf Remar asked to assassinate me by his shirt collar and pulling him onto Nerdrac before mounting him myself, I took off for Shattrath City. Landing on the Scryer's Tier, I jumped off of Nerdrac and pulled the Blood Elf rogue off of him. Nerdrac changed into his Blood Elf form and grabbed the rogue and followed me to Voren'thal's office. Asking Nerdrac to wait outside with the rogue until I call him in I entered Voren'thal's office. Voren'thal and Remar were sitting in chairs and talking. Two Blood Elves stood guard just inside the door. Voren'thal and Remar stood up to greet me. I jumped at Remar, punching him in the face. The force of my punch knocked Remar over Voren'thal's desk. I tried to jump over the desk to hit Remar again, but the two guards grabbed me. Voren'thal demanded an explanation and I ordered Nerdrac to come in with the rouge. The rogue then explained what had happened. Remar attempted to run out of the room but one of the guards tackled him. Furious, Voren'thal striped Remar of his rank as second in command of the Scryers and promoted me to the position. Grabbing Remar by the throat, I demanded an explanation from him on why he tried to have me killed. He then shocked everyone in the room by reveling that he was in a romantic relationship with Ariel Firestorm, my wife. It seems that they were trying to get rid of me so they can get married. After punching Remar out, I left to confront my wife.

Confronting Ariel
I found Ariel sitting on our front steps.

Battle of Netherwing Fields
Despite worries about whether I should trust him, I left a small force under Remar in charge of my base camp in Netherwing Pass. Riding Nerdrac, I led the majority of my forces toward Dragonmaw Fortress. Netherwing Dragonflight forces joined up with us at Netherwing Field. About halfway across Netherwing Field Dragonmaw forces, some riding enslaved Nether Drakes, charged at us. Using enchanted nethervine crystals given to us by Netharaku, we were able to free the enslaved Nether Drakes, who in turn threw their Fel Orc riders off of their backs and to their deaths. Nether Drakes began shooting some sort of arcane-like substance out of their mouths at the Fel Orcs below, burning many of them. However, several Fel Orc archers launched flaming arrows at us flying in the air. Nerdrac was hit by four on his underbelly, which killed him instantly. He fell toward the ground, throwing me off of him. I hit the ground hard, breaking my left leg. Nerdrac landed right on top of my legs, pinning me down. Despite being pinned down, I was able to slay several Fel Orcs who made the mistake of thinking that I was a sitting duck. I was able to pull myself out from underneath Nerdrac. I started to heal my leg but sensed a foul presence. I looked over my shoulder and saw Teron Gorefiend behind me. I slowly rose to my feet and dueled Gorefiend. Despite being on only one leg, I managed to slay him by stabbing him through the chest and then decapitating him when he fell to his knees. His spirit warned me that he would be back. However, the spirits of several Draenei appeared from a portal. Based on Gorefiend's comments when he saw them, I'm thinking that Gorefiend himself killed them. The Draenei grabbed Gorefiend and dragged him into the portal, which closed soon after. We eventually defeated the Illidari forces thanks to reinforcements brought by Alex. Remar showed his incompetence by poorly defending my base camp, and then getting himself killed when he tried to flee when the base camp was overrun. I left him where he fell, which I now realize was a bad idea.

Aftermath of Goldblood Gorefiend Conflict
Shadowmoon Valley was devastated by my war with Teron Gorefiend. The southeast part of Shadowmoon Valley, including Netherwing Ledge was in ruins. Netherwing Mines was destroyed by Illidari forces during the Battle of Dragonmaw Base Camp two days after the Battle of Netherwing Fields in an attempt to keep us from using the resources of the mine. However, with Alex leading the charge, Scryers forces routed the Illidari on Netherwing Ledge. Ariel was found dead about a week later. Her death was ruled a suicide, at least that was how we thought she died based on the fact that she was found hanging from a tree outside of Shattrath City. Eventually, I met a young Blood Elf named Lynna Lightkiss. We quickly fell in love and got married. Life was good.

Dragged to Fallen Sky Ridge
Alex decided to investigate Fallen Sky Ridge after seeing giant crystals crash. He also decided to drag me along with him. Apparently, nobody else wanted to go with him. Demon hunters are well known for being shunned by people. I decided to go with him out of pity.

Investigation
When we arrived, we were attacked by a colossi. After slaying it, Alex and I noticed a Crimson Crystal Shard in the colossi's giant hand. Alex and I talked it over and decided to take it to the Cenarion Post nearby. I tell ya, for a shard that seemed so small, it sure was heavy to carry around. Alex and I both ended up carrying it to the Cenarion Post.

Prince Kael Strikes Back
I intended to someday return to Quel'Thalas. However, the circumstances of my return was not what I anticipated. The naaru M'uru, the source of the Blood Knights' holy magic, was abducted by the Shadowsword, a group of Felblood elves. Guess who sent them to do it. That's right, Kael'thas Sunstrider, who was suppose to be dead. When word reached Shattrath City of what happened, the naaru put together a combined blood elf and draenei strike force called the Shattered Sun Offensive. Guess who was named the leader of the Shattered Sun Offensive. That's right, me.

Unfinished Business
The majority of the Shattered Sun Offensive headed to the Isle of Quel'Danas. However, Alex and me decided that the Scourge in Quel'Thalas was a major threat to our people. We headed to Tranquillien, where combined Forsaken Blood Elf forces battling the Scourge were based. With the current leaders more concerned with Night Elf infiltrators, Alex and me were put in charge of getting rid of Quel'Thalas's Scourge problem. Around this time I learned that Viridiel Dawnstar, my foster father, had died leading an attack on Deatholme. I became enraged when I learned that his body was just left there.

Pushing the Scourge Out
We launched attacks on Suncrown Village, Goldenmist Village, and Windrunner Village. The attacks on Suncrown Village, which I personally lead, and Goldenmist Village were successful. The attack on Windrunner Village was a disaster. Two vicious abominations added the Scourge in Windrunner Village, along with reinforcements from Windrunner Spire.

A Village and a Spire
Seeing that we missed that Windrunner Spire was a Scourge stronghold, we launched attacks on Windrunner Village and Windrunner Spire. This time, we succeeded. We also uncovered schematics of Deatholme, which was good considering we intended to attack there next. The schematics showed hidden paths we could use to slip into Deatholme, structure placements, and troops placement.

Grand Betrayal
After successfully repealing Kil'jaeden's attempt to enter Azeroth, the Shattered Sun Offensive decided to loot the treasures left behind by Legion forces. I grabbed as much money as I could carry, 100,000 gold, and headed back home to Tranquillien. The Shattered Sun also decided to part ways. I bought a gunship from Gadgetzan, which I named the Goldblood Skybuster, and a pair of Sunbreakers with some of the money. One day, about two days after my gunship arrived, Alex came running into my office at home. He informed me that Grand Apothecary Putress had ambushed Alliance-Horde forces fighting the Scourge during the Battle of Angrathar the Wrath Gate and that Varimathras had launched a coup d'état against the Undercity. He also told me that the Forsaken fled the Undercity and headed to Orgrimmar. We took off for Orgrimmar on the Goldblood Skybuster soon after.

Calm Before the Storm
When we arrived in Orgrimmar, we could see Forsaken refugees all over Orgrimmar. We ran to Grommash Hold and found Lady Sylvanas Windrunner injured and on her knees. After healing her, I am a blood knight after all, Alex and I helped her to her feet and the three of us walked into Thrall's throne room. While we were coming up with a plan to retake the Undercity, screams of panic, could be heard outside. I ran outside and saw a group of death knghts walking toward Grommash Hold. Thrall's bodyguards and I drew our weapons and began walking toward them. Thrall jumped in between us so we backed up. One of the death knights held up a letter. Thrall took the letter and read it, reveling that it was an endorsement letter from Tirion Fordring. The letter also revealed that the death knights broke free of the Lich King's control. Eager to show their allegiance to the Horde, the death knights asked to help retake the Undercity. We quickly agreed and teleported to the gate outside of the entrance of the Undercity.

The Battle For The Undercity
After a speech from Thrall, we ran into the courtyard, where we were stopped by Varimathras, who unleashed a flesh giant on us. After the death knights tore the flesh giant to pieces, we ran through the throne room to the elevators. Seeing that they were damaged and unusable, I used my swords to climb down the elevator shaft. Fighting my way through demons and traitorous Forsaken, I saw Alliance soldiers headed toward the Apothecarium from the sewers. Guessing, correctly, that they were coming for Grand Apothecary Putress, I shrugged my shoulders and headed for the throne room. However I was cut off by demons, who I promptly cleaved in two. Several traitorous Forsaken then attacked me. They were no match for me. Thinking that the Alliance would need help dealing with Grand Apothecary Putress after seeing several Alliance soldiers tossed out of the hallway to the Apothecarium like rag dolls, I decided to help them. I followed the trail of corpses to the Apothecarium and entered. The Alliance were struggling against some of Grand Apothecary Putress's failed experiments. I simply walked up to Grand Apothecary Putress, stabbed him in the abdomen, and decapitated him. King Varian Wrynn, realizing that I was a member of the Horde, charged at me. I slammed my left shoulder into his chest and threw him into several of his own soldiers. I warned them that if they can not defeat someone like Grand Apothecary Putress, then they have no chance of defeating the Horde. Grabbing Grand Apothecary Putress's head, I walked out of the Apothecarium and headed out of the Undercity through the sewers. I asked Lady Sylvanas Windrunner to meet me outside of the Undercity. While I waited for her, I healed my left shoulder, which I probably injured when I slammed it into King Varian's chest. When she arrived, I handed her Grand Apothecary Putress's head. I returned to Tranquillien soon after.

Brothers Goldblood Reunited
Following The Battle For The Undercity, I took some time off to recover, I had breathing problems for about two months due to several broken ribs I had a hard time healing. Around the time I had recovered, Alex and I received a summons from Thrall to meet him in Orgrimmar. After Alex arrived from Shattrath City, we boarded the Goldblood Skybuster and flew to Orgrimmar. When we arrived, we headed to Thrall's chamber. Standing next to Thrall was a Blood Elf death knight that I had seen in Undercity during the battle to reclaim it from Varimathras. He removed the hood pulled over his head to reveal his face. I took one look and realized that Alex and I had been reunited with our older brother Raijin Goldblood. After thanking Thrall for reuniting us, and a happy reunite, the Brothers Goldblood headed back to Tranquillien, taking the zeppelin ride home to catch up on our lives. When we got back to Tranquillien, Raijin decided to live with Thaddeus and me at Goldblood Manor and Alex went back to Shattrath City.

Wrath of the Headless Horseman
With Hallow's End just around the corner, and rumors of Headless Horseman sightings, I decided to investigate the Headless Horseman's past. Around the time I began my investigation, the Headless Horseman attacked Darkshire, Kharanos, and Menethil Harbor. I considered heading South to confront the Horseman but then he attacked Southshore. Noticing he was headed North and that he was only attacking Alliance settlements, I returned to my research. I thought that I would have more time to research the Headless Horseman before he struck Tranquillien. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Saving Tranquillien
The Headless Horseman attacked Tranquillien about two days after I went back to my research on him. He began setting fire to several building but surprisingly did not set fire to Goldblood Manor. That's suprising, considering it is the biggest building in Tranquillien.

The Hunt is On
With Raijin and Alex busy in the Blasted Lands, Pablo Plaguekiller and Damian Chaos volunteered to help me chase down Remar. When word reached us that he had attacked Tarren Mill, Southshore, and Refuge Pointe, in that order, it became obvious that he was heading south. We quickly hopped on the Goldblood Skybuster and headed south after him.

Duel at the Thandol Span
Remar, thinking that I was traveling by land, stopped at the Thandol Span with the intention of blowing it up. He has problems, mental problems. Unknown to him, I was actually traveling by air on the Goldblood Skybuster. Imagine his surprise when I landed right on top of him. I kicked his explosives away and we dueled. I got the upper hand on him but he decided to summon some Pumpkin Fiends to attack the Thandol Span. I slew the Pumpkin Fiends but he fled. I returned to the Goldblood Skybuster and continued to chase him.

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide
After chasing him through the Eastern Kingdoms, I finally caught up to Remar in the Blasted Lands. He attempted to attack Nethergarde Keep, but was stopped by Damian Chaos and Pablo Plaguekiller. He used that as a distraction, and began heading South toward the Dark Portal. Realizing that if he reached Outland it would be almost impossible to track him, I jumped on Skyscream and left the Goldblood Skybuster. Reaching the Dark Portal at the same time as Remar, I jumped off of Skyscream and tackled him, knocking him off of his horse. We drew our blades and it was on. Early on in our duel, I cut off part of his left arm, forcing him to wield a two-handed sword with one hand, giving me the advantage. Eventually, I disarmed him and slammed him into red desert ground. As I prepared to finish him off, he summoned the spirit of Ariel Firestorm, my first wife. She revealed that Remar had murdered her and staged it to look like suicide. Apparently, her spirit had been trapped in his necklace and she begged me to help her. I don't know why, but I froze. Taking advantage of the distraction, Remar grabbed his sword and stabbed me in the left leg. I fell to the ground in pain. I tried to fight him off but I was overwhelmed. When Remar prepared to finish me off, Ariel revealed to him that she was never in love with him, and had faked being in love with him in order to get close to him so she could kill him. She stated that Remar is too incompetent to be the second in command of the Scryers and since I was third in command, I would succeed him. She also revealed that magic made her go through with the affair. While Remar was distracted by this revelation, I made my way to my feet and slashed Remar across the stomach. Remar fell to his knees. I grabbed Ariel, which shocked me because she was a spirit. I looked behind me and saw that Damian's hand was glowing and realized that he had temporarily restored her body. I demanded to know if she was telling me the truth and she said she was. Pablo stepped forward and held some sort of jewel in front Ariel and confirmed that she spoke the truth. She pleaded with me to forgive her, actually, Remar asked me to forgive him too. I forgave Ariel, but killed Remar by stabbing him through the chest and decapitating him. I began falling to the ground, I was stabbed in the leg after all. Ariel caught me before I hit the ground. Damian's spell began failing and her body began fading. After kissing her goodbye, she faded away. I looked toward the Dark Portal and saw two hooded figures in front of it. I motioned to Damian and Pablo for them to look toward the Dark Portal. The mysterious figures began walking down the steps toward us.

Enter Caedus's Claws
The two mysterious figures removed their hoods, revealing that they were human women. They introduced themselves as Margaret and Peggy Arnold, the wives of Caedus Arnold, the leader of Caedus's Claws. I asked why they were here and they told me they were evaluating Remar, another member of Caedus's Claws who had been sent to seize the power of the Headless Horseman. I attempted to ask more questions but they went through the Dark Portal before I could. We burned Remar's body, so he couldn't be resurrected again, and the Headless Horseman armor and went back to Tranquillien on the Goldblood Skybuster.

Massacre at Stillwhisper Pond
That has to be the most despicable thing the Scourge has ever done. The only thing more shocking than what they did is the fact that it happened so close to Silvermoon City. Thankfully my brother Raijin happened to be training alone nearby otherwise everyone would have been killed. A Scourge necropolis shows up at Stillwhisper Pond and drops a Scourge strike force down on the unsuspecting students of Instructor Antheol. Instructor Antheol was not there himself. He was in Silvermoon City meeting with Lor'themar Theron. After Raijin wiped out the Scourge force, he sent me a message informing me of the massacre. I threw the messanger through my office door and decided to take the fight to the Scourge.

Building A Fleet
The first thing that I did was contact Alex, who was in Shattrath City. I had him gather any former Shattered Sun Offensive members in Shattrath City that he could. I also contacted Damian Chaos and Pablo Plaguekiller to ask the Knights of the Ebon Blade about possible aid. Damian and Pablo agreed to join my expedition but they informed me that the Knights of the Ebon Blade were sending their own expedition. A week or two later, Alex, along with members of the Shattered Sun Offensive that he could find arrived in Tranquillien. I soon wondered how I would transport all those soldiers to Northrend. I quickly contacted Undermine about acquiring some additional gunships. About a week later, three brand new gunships were delivered to Tranquillen. We left Tranquillien shortly afterward. Before I left, I posthumously named Viridiel Dawnstar, my adoptive father, an honorary member of the House of Goldblood.
