Altrek was born to a middle-class family living in the Capital City of Lordaeron, his father serving as a footman for the army during the Second War. He lived a fairly normal life until his late teens, where he found himself caught up in the Fall of the kingdom after the crown prince returned to murder the king. While fleeing from the carnage he lost both of his parents, and after following other refugees south he located some distant relatives near Stormwind to stay with. Vengeance still burned in his veins and after being scouted by local trainers learned to use numerous weapons and walk the path of the warrior.
For years he would work as a sword for hire, earning gold where he could and even adopting a new surname from the twin swords that he became known for. Eventually he would learn of the Scarlet Crusade and their efforts to retake Lordaeron, which sparked a flame in his heart that drove him to get in contact with these potential comrades in arms. What he found instead was a chance at a new family, serving under the Scarlet Hammer chapter before creating his own chapter known as the Scarlet Brigade.
The man he has become is firm, loyal to his cause in reclaiming his homeland in the name of the true sons and daughters of Lordaeron. Despite the many things he is called, including zealot, butcher, monster, he will stop at nothing to see the Crusade’s mission complete.
