Archonisus Dawnstriker

A seemingly polite and neutral personality, Archonisus Dawnstriker is a Sunstrider Highguard who recently was stationed in Silvermoon after serving a long term abroad during the war on Legion. In public, he represents the Elven Royal Guard of Quel’thalas as protector of the Regent Lord; behind closed doors, however, he has taken up the mantle of the Sunwrath Federation. His aim has been to present himself respectably to the Silvermoon citizenry at all times, his proficiencies lending to tactics, diplomacy, and shield-wielding.

Early Life and Adolescence
Named for the third and final gate which shields the Sunwell, Archonisus proudly bears this name as a testament to his prowess in the present day as a protector of those he is entrusted with. How he eventually came to possess the position of Sunstrider Highguard is scarcely because of ambition or desire, however.

Although you would be hard-pressed to get him to open up about his history, Archonisus’ parents were firm believers in the decrees of the Sunstriders, even until the bitter end. At the expense of life and limb, Archonisus’ father served as a Sunfury Bloodwarder who was tortured and killed after the fall of Tempest Keep. His mother likewise perished along with him, after terrible heartbreak. He unwillingly therefore became a ward of the Thalassian State, and was conscripted to serve in its Military as a Blood Knight from a young age, as a means of “re-education” to deter him from following in his parents’ footsteps.

Eventually he came to serve the Regency and its Horde allies as a part of the Royal Guard. He thus was frequently stationed outside of Silvermoon aboard The Sunstrider to serve to protect dignitaries and/or members of the Regency as the destroyer traveled across Azeroth.

Present Day
Upon being stationed in Silvermoon with the end of the war against the Legion, Archonisus found the day-to-day life of the city difficult to adjust to, especially without support or connections. It was by chance that within weeks of his return, he happened across Montevallo Bloodpyre, who inevitably recruited him and he thus became a part of the Sunwrath Federation. Within the military bastion, Archonisus has found a purpose that extends beyond that of serving the Regency.
