RP Hooks
- Rich and Powerful: Amadeus is a man who has never truly had to worry about money in his life, and his family name carries weight in Stormwind's elite circles.
Appearance
A dignified-looking man with dark blonde hair peppered with strands of gray. He has a prominent scar diagonally across his chin, a newer scar crossing through his right eyebrow, and numerous smaller ones across the rest of his body, when visible - mostly in places his armor doesn't cover well.
Amadeus has an air of command and composure to him, and he carries himself with absolutely perfect posture.
Personality
Honorable ◆ Disciplined ◆ Patriotic ◆ Unfulfilled
Amadeus is a man of incredibly high standards, mostly applied to himself. No one is perfect, but Amadeus does an excellent job of pretending to be. He is polite, formal, respectful, and the very picture of a model officer. He has an incredible presence of authority and command about him, particularly when in uniform, that makes him seem like an ideal leader.
The sheer amount of constant effort that goes into maintaining this perfect Aspenwood facade is likely exhausting, and Amadeus never truly seems to relax.

History
The eldest son of Lord William Aspenwood and Lady Clara Aspenwood, and first in line to inherit should his parents pass away.
Amadeus spent his formative childhood years in Stormwind, but when the residents of Stormwind were forced to evacuate, he and his family took refuge on a farm for many years, until Stormwind was rebuilt.
Amadeus joined the army at the first available opportunity, was appointed as an officer perhaps sooner than he might otherwise have been without his family name behind him, and rose to the challenge without complaint.
Amadeus married Gardenia Marchand in year 19, and they had their first child in year 20, just before the start of the Third War. Arnold "Arnie" Aspenwood has grown up with very little of his father's presence in his life, as Amadeus consistently chooses his career and the Alliance over his wife and children. His daughter Beatrice was born in late year 26.
His trusted horse, Devotion, was with him from years 23 to 28. Formerly a paladin's charger, Devotion formed an agreement with Amadeus after the death of his paladin, Sir Brenley. Devotion died in the battle against the Lich King.
Amadeus died in the Cataclysm on April 30, year 28.
