Aralen Dawnseeker

Aralen Dawnseeker is the main protagonist of the series.

Statistics
Aralen is 21 years old at the start of Book I; by Book IV, he is 25 years old.

Aralen wields the Quel'zaram, a draconic blade that was once used by Anduin Lothar. It was passed down to Turalyon, and upon his disappearance, it eventually made its way to the Scarlet Crusade and then to the Argent Dawn, who now gives it to its most promising champion.

In Book III Story I, the Lich King breaks Quel'zaram in half. This causes Aralen to go looking for a new sword, where he eventually finds Quel'delar, a blade that unbeknownst to him at the time was once wielded by his mother. In Book III Story III, Quel'delar is also broken. However, it is repaired using a piece of the same crystal used to make the Ashbringer and becomes a holy blade similar to it. Another piece of the crystal is used to repair Aralen's shield.

History
Atuhor's nose.

Author's Note
"The idea for Aralen is one that I really can't quite put my finger on. He was intended to be kind of both a passive but yet bold personality. I'm not exactly sure who I modeled Aralen after but I did get the result I was going for. I suppose he's really influenced by Vash of Trigun and Kenshin of Rurouni Kenshin, but he's more of a traditional hero when the situation comes down to it. Aralen is also supposed to be rather naive and there's a reason for that; it's so people, as they read the story, can kind of learn with Aralen (as the entire series is intended to tell various messages). Aralen is kind of like the anti-Blackriver, where, they're both very similar but they end up coming to totally different conclusions."

Trivia
All of the main characters were designed with an elemental affinity in mind. Aralen's affinity is the light (although not a true element).

Aralen likes dogs, the Autumn, and simplicity. He hates vain people, bugs, and enclosed spaces.
