Dighton Phillips is the High Councilor of the Remnants of Lordaeron, a Knight of the Silver Hand, and a Commander of the Alliance.

Despite losing nearly everything he held dear, Dighton kept his faith within the light and remained strong during his darkest hour. Throughout his many years of service, Dighton has proved himself to be a valued veteran, strategist, and leader. He would display these skills during the Northrend Campaign which led to the genesis of the Remnants of Lordaeron. He currently serves as the personal advisor to Lord Archelas Wyrmfrost.

Early life
Dighton was born to a noble family in Lordaeron. At a young age, Dighton was taught the ways of the light under Gavinrad the Dire. As the years went by, he became a strong and noble young man. After he was inducted into the Order of the Silver Hand, he met a middle class girl named Sara Dornnel who would eventually become his wife. After they got married, they settled in the city of Lordaeron and had two children—Howard and Marcy. During the undead invasion of Lordaeron, Dighton was called to lead a small force of Silver Hand paladins to fight off the undead. However, he recieved word that undead forces were approaching the town where his family resided. Conflicted by his situation, Dighton was forced to make an impossible decision—fight with the Silver Hand or save his family. He chose to save his family, but in doing so he was labled a deserter of the Silver Hand. When he arrived back to his home town, he found his entire family dead, mutilated by the undead invaders. To make matters worse, he learned that the squad he was going to lead were all killed in battle. After the Third War, Dighton became a nomad, wandering the lands of Lordaeron aspiring to regain his honor.

Burning Crusade
After the re-opening of the Dark Portal, Dighton ventured to Outland where he befriended the naaru, A'dal. During his time with the naaru, Dighton was blessed with enhanced holy abilities to combat the Burning Legion. Dighton participated in the Battle for Quel'Danas, fighting alongside the Shattered Sun Offensive.

Wrath of the Lich King
During the War against the Lich King, Dighton was stationed at Valiance Keep as a Commander. There, he re-united with his old friend Ghorin who was accompanied by the young paladin, Terimas Manning. During a Scourge invasion on Valiance Keep, Dighton went on a suicide mission to stop the invading undead, but was unexpectedly saved by Terimas. Dighton honored the young paladin for his actions, making him Knight-Captain of the Valiance Expedition.

After receiving word of the tragedy at the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, Dighton traveled to Icecrown to join the Argent Crusade, lead by Highlord Tirion Fordring. During the Assault on Icecrown Citadel, Dighton and Terimas accompanied the Champion of the Ebon Blade, Archelas Wyrmfrost to clear out certain sections of the Citadel before meeting up with Tirion and the rest of the Argent Crusaders to take down the Lich King. After the Fall of the Lich King, Dighton joined Archelas in forming the Remnants of Lordaeron to prevent the atrocities that occurred in the Third War from ever being repeated.
