''You speak of loss? False hope? Well, let's sit down and talk.''

Quoted from Eroeyain after a close friend tells him that his pain is insufferable.

Information
"A good man? Yes. A good soldier? Yes. A good brother? That's too much of an understatement." - Vincent Gatthailen, A.K.A, Vyankruil Gryphonheart

"Even if he is away, I know he'll be back soon." - Shaycind Crystalwaters

"What more could a father ask." - Vyan Gatthailen

A well known soldier, Eroeyain resides in the Grizzly Hills. He fights to rid the force that is the Horde that writhe in Northrend.

He has one brother (Deceased), parents (Deceased as well) and a wife who died in an ambush

Appearance
His apparel is usually a combination of the Alliance colors, rough, rusted armor, and his black greasy hair hanging down in his face. His dark eyes resemble his fathers.

In rare cases, he can be seen wearing his hair swept back, along with soft knitted tunics and leather trousers. These are in odd circumstances though, for he only wears these items while at events or meetings that do not involve his profession.

Standing at 6'2, he is in very good shape. Good enough shape to carry hundreds of pounds of armor and weaponry.

New Life Given
At the time of Arthas' search for Frostmourne, Eroeyain lived in Brill. When Arthas returned and slew his father, and slaughtered all of the living who inhabited it. Eroeyain and his brother escaped the clutches of death and set up a new home in Stormwind. Vincent retreated back to Lordaeron to join the Scarlet Crusade, to extract revenge on the Scourge and Forsaken. Eroeyain chased him to the Plaguelands where he was attacked by Undead. Instead of killing him, the hoard of undead took his body to the Lich King himself in Stratholme as he instructed Baron Rivendare to hold the city as a stronghold for the Scourge. The Lich King took Eroeyain, unconscious, to Acherus, where he forged him into a powerful Death Knight.

After his new life had been set in motion, the Lich King was later defeated at the Light's Hope Chapel. Eroeyain was set free, a journey awaited him.



He travelled to Stormwind where he met his soon-to-be wife, Shaycind.

He enlisted into the military. He was set into the Grizzly Hills to help conquer the forest.

Death of a Loved One
The following is the tragic story of his wife, Shaycind Crystalwaters.

Not much is known about her, other than her relationship with Eroeyain.



She was laid to rest in a tomb in her home of Duskwood. Born in Ashenvale, she moved to Duskwood with her fiancé, Eroeyain. They lived together until Eroeyain was pulled out of his cozy home and thrown into the harsh lands of Northrend.

After many long months apart, Shaycind decided to pay a suprise visit to her husband while he was on leave. For a classified reason, Eroeyain had to remain in the Grizzly Hills where he was stationed. Perhaps incase a surprise attack occurred from the Horde or Scourge.

When she arrived in Northrend, she took her Saber cat and left for the Grizzly Hills. After a quick stop, she headed to the Amberpine Lodge for directions to Eroeyain's whereabouts. Along the way, she was ambushed by ancient Drakkari people, where they brutally sacrificed her. Eroeyain could never get over this tragic event.

Grizzly Hills Massacre
Following Shaycind's passing, Eroeyain, furious, took the fight to the Horde. Hard.



He pushed back the Horde at Blackriver Logging Camp over a course of three months. Soon after, they returned. On this event, his brother was killed at the Blue Sky Logging Grounds after a short skirmish.

Eroeyain was furious, and struck at the heart of the Horde's Grizzly Hills defenses. He took nine soldiers and slaughtered every last marauder in the Blue Skies area. Around thirty Horde members were killed brutally at night, no chance to call for help.

One of these victims was the monster known as "The Blood Ravager" - Gruillkarr. Eroeyain sought to it that the beast that slew his brother would perish in a painful way. He slowly slit the monster's throat, then threw him into the ragging waters of the river.

The beast's body was never uncovered, lost at the crashing waves of the sea.

"Scourgebane"
After the events of the Grizzly Hills, Eroeyain returned home to Duskwood. In the most recent Scourge assault, the undead of Tranquil Gardens Cemetery attacked the villagers of Darkshire.



Eroeyain jumped into the battle, defending his beloved home.

His blade worn and his body tired, the army of plagued minions flooded the town. By the dozens, the skeletons rushed in.

Before Eroeyain collapsed, a regiment of the Stormwind Military charged in horseback, impaling the mindless wretches on pikes and spears.

The undead fled eventually back to their gravesite.

Eroeyain was proclaimed a hero in the eyes of the citizens of Darkshire, for he had been their saviour. If it was not for him, the cavalry would not have arrived in time.

He admits it was just reaction, not to gain self-righteousness from his mistakes in the past.

Memories of the Past
During the course of the Plaguing of Lordaeron, Eroeyain was about 22.

He was born at the town of Brill, leading a simple town life as a woodcutter for his father's woodworking profession.

At the time of the Plaguing, Eroeyain was strong and knew how to defend himself. When the time came, and Brill was left in ruins, he escaped with his 19 year old brother Vincent. Vincent had not become a Crusader, for there was no name complications.

As the two brothers escaped, their father was left behind. He defended to town for as long as he could, until he fell. The Cult of the Damned kidnapped his lifeless, unconscious body for further testing of the plague. When the Forsaken arose, they retaliated to their demise against the Cultists after Vyan spent months in captivity.

The Forsaken struck, wiping out the Cultists who inhabited the country town as a testing facility. They grabbed the plagued man, and took him to their wretched base of the Undercity.

There, they slowly ripped him apart. His innards used as spare parts for their Abominations. Vincent never forgave the undead who caused this. He became a crusader in order to extract his revenge.

Many years past. Eight, to be exact. Eroeyain ventured back to Stratholme, undercover by shadows. He ran deep into the Festival Lane and dug up his journal from the past that was taken by ghouls, unlocking old, powerful memories to find out who he was as a person before his corruption. When he was transformed into a Death Knight, his memories were joggled. Now, he could truly find out about his childhood.
