History

Thaddeus grew up in a rich family, that moved from place to place in his earlier years. He was the son of the Lord of a powerful House. The House was respected by many, as it's goals were noble, just as its members. They had many people backing them in the court, and when the ruling of matters was finally at hand... their word was taken into great consideration.

Thaddeus was born the middle child. Born to a younger sister, and an elder brother, he was not the one chosen to be the next lord of the house. But, when Stormwind was under threat from the Orc Hordes, the family left, leaving his brother behind due to his absolute refusal to leave his home. He as in many stories, was never seen again. They moved to Alterac, and when they needed to, would move from place to place. They returned once Stormwind was reclaimed, and quickly re-established a name for themselves, in helping rebuild the city. It was then that Thaddeus was told, that with the loss of his brother, he was next in line to be Lord of the House.

He studied everything there was to know about politics, and business. One day, long after their return to Stormwind, his family took a trip to Booty Bay. They left without the House Knights, and decided to walk the entire way. This of course... was a very bad idea. His father fancied himself a master fighter, and thought he could fend off and bandits that tried to attack them. But when the time came that this did happen, he found his age had taken a far greater hold on him than he previously thought. The bandits quickly killed many of them. His father was the first to fall. Followed by his from his fathers side, and his Uncle from his mothers side. After that went his mother. It was just him, his sister, his cousins and his Aunt and Uncle left. They were surrounded by laughing, smelly bandits.

Just then, as their Uncle was about to try and be a hero, an arrow came out of no where and one of the bandits fell. Thaddeus turned to see the House Knights had caught up with them. They quickly removed the bandits from existence, and turned to help the survivors. They returned home, with what little they had left.

There was a great funeral for the family members who had died. And afterwards, his Uncle approached him, and gave him a letter. He said to him:

"Thaddeus... you, are the next Harkov to be the Lord of the House. It is your path, not mine. It was your fathers wish, that when he was gone... you would lead us down the same path we were already on. Can you do that for him?"

Thaddeus, being 27 understood very well the size of this request. He looked around the Manor, at his remaining family looking to him, awaiting a response. The Knights watched intently awaiting as well.

"I... I will lead us... down the path my father always followed. Not just for him, but for Stormwind, and the Entire Alliance."

The Knights removed their helmets and knelt before him. The Family applauded, and the Servants cheered.

Through the beliefs of the Cathedral, he began to support the Argent Crusade. He often sends his knights to fight for them, or at the least sends them supplies.

Thaddeus James Harkov, was then, and still is... the Lord of House Harkov.
