Beydalar Yildiz
Born to a Courtesan in New Thalos, Beydalar Yildiz had a troubled life
growing up. His mother cared for him, but had no money for schooling, and
so he was a kept boy working in the brothel that she lived in. He lived
this way for some time, until he was nearly nine years old when his mother
was found dead, a symptom of the lifestyle he'd grown up in.
Shortly after that, a young boy was put out of the brothel, being of no
further use to the owners. It was then he turned to a life of pure
survival, living as a misbegotten youth getting by on theft and crime to see
himself through.
At 17 with many poor habits in tow, he became a Mercenary while living in
Arkane, but the pay was bad, and the action too infrequent, he found himself
finally walking the path of the Loners that wander Algoron, searching for
battles. It was then he would begin to see the world as it was. Constantly
pursued by the Wrath of Justice, without explanation, and always being
hunted he grew angry at the hypocrisy of the light.
In search of answers, he sought out Jalm Kato, during his tenure as
Chancellor. Jalm then instructed the young man in the ways of our faith and
Beydalar found in this a purpose that had eluded him much of his life. He
was a convert, and Lanival Illithi ushered him into Storm Keep when he was
worthy.
He trained hard, and began his career in the Legion, becoming a Novice of
the Legion and intending to remain a Legionnaire for his life in Storm.
However fate had other plans for the Soldier, for the Lord Templar Xuerin
began to speak to him on faith more and more. Beydalar decided he would
need to join the Templar, and served the Templar in matters of faith, under
the tutelage of Ardias Kayen his Warder.
Beydalar quickly achieved Knighthood through his skill and determination,
and when the warder stepped down to serve in foreign wars, Beydalar was
chosen as the Templar Ward to replace his predecessor.
Though this was a time of strife for Storm Keep, a time when attendance was
low and many knights were called away. As the leadership waned, it fell to
men of resolve to replace them. The weight of Chancellor was placed upon
the Warder's shoulders.
Though he feared originally it may be a burden he was ill prepared for, he
flourished and with the help of others worked Storm Keep into a new golden
age of diligence and service. His entrance to the Sanctum was celebrated by
many as the dawning of a new era. He is truly one of the Heroes of Storm
Keep.
