Harmlock Hardshield

"'The Nobles goal is to build a fortune, ours is to build our homeland flowering and strong. For her we will work and we will build. For her we will make each man a hero, ready to fight, ready to sacrifice, ready to die. - Harmlock Hardshield'"Lord Harmlock Hardshield is the current ruler of the Harmlock's Pride (formerly Manor's Hold) and leader of the prominent Blackstone's vestige. Known for his manipulative personality and hatred towards nobility, Harmlock has gained the respect of his men and officers as he salvaged them from a former leader of his mercenary due to unrest, which leads to his promotion thereon. The volition he posses comes unmatched to some degree that others try to distance themselves as possible as they can in fear of their lives.

Lord Harmlock takes pride in everything he does, especially if it means achieving world domination. But rather than the opposite, he relies his works on everything on his men. He doesn't do things for himself but uses others to benefit him favorably. His father even realized this at the moment he knew that he soon gradually developing cowardice. The man likes to toy those who are indispensable and execute those who are not. He is well-known regarded by his men as cunning as the wolf combined. "He uses men like a tool, he the one who twirl the screws, while he sat doing nothing but a complete fool".

As the leader of the infamous Blackstone's Vestige, he is cunning and has the will to save his people for the benefit of the faction. He is callous, ambitious, and his lust for power is untamed. He and his adjutant Corvac carve their path in Alterac as the forces of Gunther's control in the region began to wane, he decided to grab the opportunity and ride along with the contingent. A true warrior will never end his ambition to conquer everything, as he said from his journal, which means taking everything in control and leave the meek to their demise. A mustering of men in good condition must be paved their way into as our thirst for glory quenched.

Background
Harmlock Hardshield, the son of Arghar Hardshield, a mere city guard in the town of Andorhal. Since childhood, young Harmlock had been showing traits of cowardice and angry outbursts. He studied the art of war in the local training facility in Andorhal and just as his father he trained to be a city guard. It all came crashing down when the plague began to ravish the lands of Lordaeron.

As soon as the plague began to manifest and people started to get hit by the wave of infections, Harmlock was sent away by his father to pursue a better career and instructed him to return only when the plague will pass the lands of Lordaeron. On his journey Harmlock joined a mercenary band by the name of the Blackstone Legion, a ruthless company under the leadership of a woman, nicknamed The White Wolf. Harmlock would serve the company with loyalty even fi sometimes his loyalty could be put under question especially when bribes or expensive objects would be offered by his captives or enemies in exchange of various services. Nevertheless, he achieved the position of Captain and had a small legion of men under his command but everything would come crashing down when the homeplace of the Blackstone Legion would be put under siege by the enemies of the Legion which were formed by other mercenary bands and local lords.

Harmlock escaped this siege by leaving his post, leaving his brothers and sister behind, leaving The White Wolf herself die at the hands of the enemy army. He would carry the name of the legion with pride, boasting most of the time how he is the last survivor of the legion and how he fought bravely during that siege. He renamed the Blackstone Legion into the Blackstone's Vestige. He returned to the lands of Lordaeron where he strives to achieve popularity and to take profit from the local unrest within the legion with the goal of elevating himself to the rank of Lord.
