RP Hooks

Noble of Lordaeron: Other Alliance nobility may know him or have heard of his family. Anyone from Lordaeron may have heard of him.
Argent Dawn: Anyone in this Order may know him.
Death Knight: Other Death Knights may know or have heard of the self-proclaimed Lord of Blood.

Appearance

A reasonably tall, mild young man who had blond hair and blue eyes. His arms and armor were kept exceptionally clean and well-ordered. Even the way he stands has an air of perfection. It was easy to tell at a glance that this man was a paladin.

Now, his hair has gone white and his eyes, while still blue, carry the glow of undeath. He does not clean his gear, perhaps in some form of silent rebellion. His posture, however, is still perfect.

Personality

Typically mild mannered, Harvey does draw a clear line between those who are noble and those who are not. Sometimes that line gets trampled on. Often he behaves in a way that displays his sheltered upbringing. Still, he is loyal to those above him, and protective of those below him.

Lately he has been displaying wild arrogance and irreverence towards those who irritate him, or, often, when he Hungers.

History

Born and raised an only child of a noble House in Lordaeron. He grew up overshadowed by his rigid father who demanded nothing short of perfection from his wife and son. Those harsh standards follow him to this day.

During the Scourging of Lordaeron, Harvey escaped to Southshore with his guards and joined the faction of the Scarlet Crusade which later split off to form the Argent Dawn.

He fell during the Scourge's attack on the Scarlet Enclave, risen to serve again as a Death Knight.
