Maekus Valeriel
Voidbringer Maekus Valeriel
Intensity. Everything about this Ren'dorei's presence is dark and sinister. There's a heavy intensity around him at all times, but it's not him. It's as if something is always following this Ren'dorei, something terrible. Maekus Valeriel stands at an average height for a Thalassian elf. His figure is slender, not underweight, but not exactly healthy. His silver hair falls straight down his shoulders, hiding hints at scars around his neck and collar. His eyes may seem a different color each time one sees him, switching between a deep purple and a bright, fiery orange.
This elf can usually be found in modest clothing, usually keeping his upper body and arms covered entirely. If one were to see him with no shirt, they would find dozens of scars along his body. And, strangely, the veins in his right arm glow a vibrant violet. Recently, the veins in the right side of his chest have started glowing, too

Personal history
Born Nothanios Valeriel, first son of Sothanios Valeriel, who was an advisor in King Anasterian's court in Silvermoon. As the first son, Nothanios was groomed to take his father's title as Lord of House Valeriel. It was a burden that, for Nothanios' whole life, he hated. He discovered early on that he loved the world, and despised the politics. During his daily lessons, he found himself watching the guards and gardeners around his home. It was all he wanted. Nothanios had two siblings, a younger brother and sister. He and his brother Lathanios were inseparable, especially after their sister Lathalia vanished at a young age. Nothanios and Lathanios were the shining future for their family. Nothanios was quick and cunning, Lathanios confident and strong. Nothanios knew his brother would become a greater leader than he ever could. Thus, they made a pact, that when their father passed, Nothanios would abdicate the mantle of leadership to his younger brother. Then, when Nothanios' first child was ready, he would take that seat. Time passed, and Nothanios joined the Farstriders, much to his father's disdain. It mattered nothing to Nothanios, however. He always preferred the dirt to the life his father wanted for him. Lathanios had his son, who he named after his older brother Nothanios. Some years later, Nothanios Valeriel was married and had his son, who he named Maekus. Maekus was everything to Nothanios. He was his pride and joy, his crowning achievement. He saw in his son, everything he could never be. And thus, Nothanios lived in happiness for thirty-eight years. His happiness turned sour, though, when he and Maekus were set upon by a group of Amani trolls in the forests of Quel'thalas. In an instant, Nothanios' world was shattered when his son died. And in that forest, cradling his son's body, he took Maekus as his own name.

Maekus joined The Ashen Sun Accord as a Riftstrider. After Thalas'din Ren was constructed, he went on to become the Stablemaster for the city. Recently Livelle Dustbearer took him as her Advisor, where he serves to advise the Council seats overseeing the Voidsworn.
Mental Trauma
While serving as a Farstrider, Maekus was captured by Amani trolls and tortured for months until he was rescued. He is one of the few people still living who have been struck with the Voidbringer's Scythe.
Morality & Philosophy
Maekus despises violence with every fiber of his being. He has been known to publicly shame others for partaking in needless violent acts, such as brawling or hunting for sport. However, his hatred does not stop him from fighting when he must. In fact, when he does fight, he has been observed to be a brutal and unforgiving killer.
