Personality

Hardin's solution to any problem is drinking. A problem that can't be drowned with enough ale is a problem indeed. Hardin doesn't think much of himself and puts little effort into improving himself when not pushed to do so by others. He is suffers from depression, which is hidden well from others as well as himself by his alcoholism. He is the first to admit that he has a drinking problem but due to his lack of self-worth sees little point in doing anything about it.

Despite his numerous flaws, however, Hardin is not unsympathetic to the plight of others. He is always willing to listen to others and will help them if he can. Though he is well-meaning, his help can often hinder, as he is rarely completely sober and tends to approach most situations with all the grace of a cross-eyed ogre. Still, he is a competent fighter, due in part to his younger days of fighting off the thieves and bandits that attacked his farm, and perhaps in larger part due to his many tavern brawls.

History

Hardin married at a young age and was dearly in love with his wife. With the money they had worked for and some that their parents had given them, they were able to buy a farm in Westfall and intended to start a family there. Though they were happy for the first few years, there were no children.

As they approached their 30s, their relationship was becoming increasingly strained. Their youthful passion had died down and they would argue about petty things for hours on end - arguments that Hardin never won because he lost interest long before they ended. At the core of their strained relationship was the fact that, despite their best efforts, there were still no children. Hardin was beginning to feel that he had failed his family and had taken to drinking to take his mind off it. His wife was becoming increasingly resentful of him and their arguments grew increasingly spiteful.

The quickly deteriorating marriage inevitably ended in divorce, and Hardin's wife kept the farm. He had later found out through a friend in a tavern that his wife had been unfaithful to him for some months before they divorced, although surprisingly enough, there were still no children. Hardin left his home without ever looking back and now resides in the city of Stormwind, doing odd jobs for whoever is desperate or foolish enough to hire him. He keeps his blade sharp, as most of these jobs require some degree of violence. Though he refuses to take jobs that are blatantly malicious, he sometimes winds up in situations where his actions are less than admirable. He spends most of his free time in taverns and, though he will often (unsuccessfully) flirt any woman unfortunate enough to be sitting close to him, he only vaguely remembers what love feels like and has no intention of ever re-marrying.
