Appearance

Von'Dragos prefers dark colored armor, so as to blend in with the shadowy places he hunts the undead in.

Personality

Von'Dragos is a no nonsense kind of guy, and as such he has a very minimal sense of humor. His vision of the world is narrowed to that of black and white, and should anyone or anything fall on the darker end of this tiny spectrum, Brutus is ready, and perhaps all too willing, to plant a stake through the ‘monsters' heart.

He is never satisfied with peace and is always looking for an excuse to fight, the slightest thing can set him off. When it comes to the living dead, though, he needs no excuse, his fervor for their eradication near rivals the Scarlet Crusade's.

A pessimist in every meaning of the word, Brutus is always happy to cast a dreary outlook on even the brightest day. He likes to think of himself as a ‘realist', though, and instead of succumbing to his own miserable tendencies he holds fast to an unshakable faith in the Light and activism.

History

Born in old Lordearon, Brutus was raised an average and unassuming child. At the young age of 15 he committed himself to the Light and left his families rural farm to live a life with monks and paladins. His strength, delivered to him by long years as a farmers brat, made him prime for taking up the blade for the Holy Light instead of a priest's staff and robe.

In time he was initiated into the Silver Hand, and then at this point, his life began to take him in a new direction, eventually leading to his current state. With a few other members of the Silver Hand, Brutus was sent south to Stormwind where he worked to aid in the upkeep of the faith. This rather unimportant task had a monumental effect on Brutus, as it brought him far away from the Scourge Plague when it hit his homeland.

News traveled fast, and Brutus had always been a nosey kind of guy in those days, so he was not un-aware of the plight to his people. Orders, where orders though, and his duty was to stay in the south and protect these strangers should the plague come a' calling. Besides that, the stories he heard where not nearly as horrible as the real thing. The Paladin never knew the true danger to which his family was faced.

During the Plague, his family and home where eradicated by the undead masses. Brutus, devastated when news of his families death came, began to turn inward and as a result became more and more distant from the Silver Hand. Eventually, Brutus managed to work himself up into such a condition of anger and frustration that he abandoned working with the order of paladins once and for all, instead he took to a more vigilante type of lifestyle in the Light.

Von'dragos has since been hunting the beasties of the scourge that threaten humanity by his own means. Brutus frequents Duskwood but lives in Stormwind, where he is often seen loitering about the Trade District or Cathedral Square.
