User:Tiraline/Jeremias Auromere

Jeremias was born in the family home in Lordaeron, the son of Baronet Ezekias and Melerra Auromere. For the first eleven years of his life, Jeremias and his sister Allisara were raised by their sickly mother; Ezekias spent most of his time in taverns and brothels. Melerra passed away when Jeremias was eleven; the family's fortune was exhausted three months later by Ezekias' carousing.

Then came the destruction of Lordaeron, and the family fled to parts south. Allisara went to Stormwind to train as a mage; Jeremias was left to his own devices by his wastrel father. Just as Jeremias was about to start begging on the dusty streets of Southshore, Andrew Weaver, a retired mage of Dalaran, happened by and took pity on the boy. Jeremias was made part of the mage's family, which by then had reduced to Andrew and his daughter, Serrithia--who just happened to be Jeremias' age. Jeremias immediately developed a powerful affection for Serrithia, which in time she came to return.

Over the next six years, Jeremias began to study under Andrew's instruction. He had no talent with arcane magics, but showed a strong piety that led him to seek employment with the Church of the Holy Light. His idea that he was suited for the priesthood was dashed when he got in a fist-fight with two other young acolytes, which resulted in said acolytes needing medical treatment. He was then directed to train as a paladin, and advised to pursue the path of Retribution.

At eighteen, he was named a paladin, and sent out into the world. Not long afterward, he was inducted into the order of the Knights of Dusk, where he quickly rose to the rank of commander.

Within a week of joining the Knights of Dusk, he was embroiled in a conflict between one of his commanders and a member of a rival organization. Later, he found that rival involved in a battle with an orc who had invaded Stormwind; Jeremias, although sorely outmatched, remained on the scene to heal the rival. The orc, naturally, did not appreciate this, and hit Jeremias in the face with her spiked club. This left Jeremias with three scars running across his right cheek.

On October 11, Jeremias and Serrithia were married.
