Appearance

Can be seen wearing a leather tunic, pants, boots and gloves most of the time in cities. Shoulderpads and a head-garment also usually equipped outside of cities or towns. Two swords always equipped, on either side or on his back. A black snake seems to live in his backpack, who crawls around his arm from time to time, when he's taking some time off or relaxing in an inn. Xarkon doesn't seem to be concerned about the snake very much either, as it wanders off sometimes for long periods and only returns days, if not weeks later.

Other: A replaced jaw. It tends to fall open from time to time, so you could see Xark adjust it from time to time. There is still some flesh left on his bones, though rotten. He has covered the parts on his body, where bone would otherwise show, with leather patches.

Personality

Very persevere. Always committed to his goals and never leaves something unfinished what he has started. Xarkon believes that the Forsaken and Humans could one day be reunited again, though as of late, his faith in this has decreased, with the standstill being broken between the Alliance and the Horde. You could catch him mentioning this from time to time. He'll rather like to get to know people before he'll trust them to watch his back or tag along on journeys or adventures, so don't expect friendliness from him the moment your character meets Xarkon. When Xarkon does, however get to know someone closer, he'll be very protective of them and keep them close. Xarkon has great honour and will only be rude and impolite, when the occasion calls for it.

Xarkon has wholly given up on love and rather focuses on building a close circle of friends whom he can trust and rely on. Mr. Bane will always be open for opportunities to earn some coin, be it whatever type of task.

Xarkon is very sensitive about the Forsaken and their history. One may find harsh words flying towards them, if they'd speak ill of the Forsaken.

History

(( I am going to post a series of stories describing Xarkon's past a bit under the In-Character forum, since my profile can get VERY long, if I post them here.))

Xarkon (though this was not his name in humanity) was born in Tirisfal. He lived together with his father Gerhard, who brought him up as a noble swordsman of the Bane family. Xarkon learned all he could from his father Gerhard. The earlier years of his life, Xark spent going about his father's field, helping with the crops and harvesting. The bigger part of the day, Xarkon would only do this, but in the evenings, his training sessions would start. They trained fiercly together with his father in the barn. There was enough open space there, to conduct acrobatic moves and fight duels. The main goal of Xarkon's training was to master dual sword fighting, though from the side Xarkon picked up guidelines on manners, honorable behaviour and how to remain a gentleman. Being still a youngster, Xarkon also got involved with a few petty crime organizations. Mainly stealing and robbing. The years did however knock some sense into him and he started to take his father's training more seriously. Now in his un-life, Xarkon follows his father's words of wisdom more than ever and walks each day on Azeroth trying to bring glory to his father and his family name, Bane.
