Early Life:
Gilford was born in the old kingdom of Lordaeron to Ulterion and Helena Wyrmscar along with his twin sister, Lucinta during the winter on the 18th of November, a very tough winter which was hard on the region.

The marshland was frozen and even the lake itself was frozen so thick that no fishing was avaible, but they managed to stay alive when his uncle and grandfather from his mothers side came with supplies, for they lived near Kul Tiras on the Highgrave Isles, which was owned by Gilford's grandfather and later passed on to his uncle.

Years passed and the twins grew and grew, taking after their father and grandfather in size, yet he also enherited the warrior mentality of his grandfather, who was the first trainer in his life, training Gilford alone in the ways of old, ways that had been passed down from father to son and all the way down to Gilford, yet his sister was a woman and tradition didn't allow her to be taught these fighting techniques.

She, along Gilford was still trained by their father, Ulterion. In the most average combat styles which lead to their twin-style technique as they called it themselves.

The Mentor:
Gilford had been trained all his life and was by the very word, a warrior.

Even though you would think he had become what he was destined to. One day a man came to their home, he was an elderly man with short white hair and a beard. He asked for shelter from a storm that had been brewing down in the south and was now on it's way up to the north and continued onwards towards the High Kingdom.

He was welcomed in and given warm food for his belly and water for his throat, a blanket for his cold body and a chair for his old legs, yet it was at this time he noticed the twins, both fairly young at the time and it was a sight he said, he'd never forget.

It was as if the very light had chosen them and this was clear to the old man, as he was a paladin of the Silver Hand himself and a Master at that. This had him ponder for a while as he got back his strength and the day after, the storm had settled and he was watching the twins spar and now it was clear to him.

These two were born with the light and it shined through, so he asked Gilford first if he could take a spar with him, to which Gilford nearly laughed. He was an old man, Gilford had no intention of harming an old man, but he insisted and their spar started, it was here that Gilford had to swallow his words as his ass was handed to him.

The spar stopped and he revealed himself to the twins as; Sir Benedict De Villeneaux, Master-Knight of the Silver Hand.

He offered both of them to train them in the ways of the paladin and even though both of them were speechless, they accepted his offer and joined him on his venture back to the capitol, The City of Lordaeron.

Several years passed and as their power grew, so did their faith to the light and near the invasion of Lodaeron, they were both knighted into the Silver Hand, yet only months after, the order was disbanded by the Crown Prince as it's leader, Uther the Lightbringer had denied to execute an order to lay waste to the city of Stratholme.

The loss:
Inbetween Gilfords training to become a paladin, he often ventured home for a few weeks to help his father train the men-at-arms in the barony.

It was here that he first saw her, a girl so pretty his jaw dropped and started to stutter as he went to speak to her. Dumb in expression and awkward in behavior, she actually found interest in the young Wyrmscar and agreed to go on a picnic with him to to the nearby forest.

Weeks and months passed and their love grew to a point where Gilford was willing to leave everything behind and run away with her to start their own family, yet it was not to pass as his uncle, Oribas, had heard of a girl his nephew saw. Disgusted with the tought of his family having to endure a lovechild with a mere commoner, was outragious and he acted on this thought.

One day, Oribas had called for his nephew, he had arrived at Scar Hold with a handful of his most trusted and asked him to follow. They ventured down through a small path to a small rowboat by the lake where his girlfriend was sitting. He wondered what his uncle was up to and before he knew what was actually going on, they were all sitting in the small boat, rowing out into the lake, it was here that he noticed a chain, tied around a rock and his eyes widened, knowing full well what was about to happen, he thrashed out and tried to remove the chain from around her ancles, but no avail as he was pulled back and held there by two guards. Moments after having stopped, Oribas turned to Gilford and said "I will not have a bastard of filthy blood in MY family.." he gave the guards a nod and two of the lifted up the rock and tossed it into the water, Gilford screamed his lungs out and tried to get out of their grasp, but he couldn't and was forced to watch as his girlfriend and unborn child vanished into the depth of the murky water and dissapear.

Gilford never spoke of this to anyone but one man, a man he never thought he would come to respect.
