Appearance

Personality

August is a normally soft spoken, easy going, and polite fellow. His earlier career as the owner of his own bookstore was a reflection of his personality up until the corruption that washed over Duskwood and cost him his wife. August remains soft spoken, though easily spooked and volatile at times. His relationship with his daughter grew weaker over the years after his wife's death, and this too has affected his personality, making him very overly protective of people he grows close to, but quick to anger with them.

He gave up his store and took up the Night Watch's armor and a crossbow instead, quickly having picked up on their innate lack of trust, guile, fondness for guerrilla warfare, and general gloomy attitude. He is reluctant to get into direct confrontations, but has no qualms with stabbing his foes in the back. Or rather, shooting them. The man can be twitchy sometimes.

History

August had the misfortune of being born in Grand Hamlet just in time for it to be sacked by the Orcs in the first war. He was too young to remember it, or care. But his family returned to rebuild, and it was in that rebuilt home that he had grown up, and where his daughter had grown up. His life was as simple and idealistic as a young human can ask for, considering Grand Hamlet out of the way of such causes for worry like the wars. Naturally, he and the rest of the townsfolk got a dose of reality when the darkness settled in around their little home. His wife, Amanda, died from a clot that had formed during childbirth and went to her brain, causing her to stroke. August raised his daughter with only the aid of his elderly mother. August numbed himself towards the loss of his wife, though he still can't look at the cliff overlooking an edge of the forest where he asked for her hand in marriage.

As the time passed and life in Darkshire became harder, August came to grips with the fact that he couldn't live his life the way he wanted to. He needed to protect the town and his daughter. He abandoned his books and his business and took up a family heirloom, a Crossbow, as his weapon, donning armor and joining the militia. He picked up some tricks of the trade over the years, including a charming drinking problem – but granted, you had to have a vice if you expected to keep your sanity in Darkshire for long.

After his mother passed on, his relationship with his daughter, Deanna, deteriorated swiftly. August had lost hope. It was time to abandon Darkshire. He wasn't sure where he'd go. He didn't have the resources to start up his old business, never mind in a place like Stormwind. Normally a thinking man, he put minimal planning into his next move – Leaving Darkshire and his daughter behind. Not that he wanted to. The girl had no intention of leaving her home, and there in lay their problem. August didn't budge, but he does frequently return to check on his daughter and make sure she is safe, as well as not wanting for anything. With only general skills at his hand, an appraisers eye for texts and tomes and books, and a sharp aim with a crossbow, August is one of many human wanderers, looking to start a new chapter of his life before time catches up with him.
