Terimas Manning is a paladin of the light and a well-respected veteran of the Alliance.

Early life
Terimas was born to a lowborn family in Stratholme. He had two brothers. Of the three—Devon, the oldest; Hansen, the reprobate; and Terimas, the youngest—Terimas was the one who embraced the holy light most. Terimas lost his parents at an early age, spending most of his childhood in an orphanage alongside his brother Hansen. As Terimas got older, he became involved in Hansen's criminal affairs. He remained by his brother's side as Hansen rose to prominence in the illegal drug trade operating throughout Northern Lordaeron. This was cut short when his brother's own followers turned on them, leading to Terimas and Hansen's imprisonment. After their escape, Terimas and Hansen went into hiding until the plague of undeath began to spread across Lordaeron. Terimas managed to survive the undead invasion, however his brother was not so lucky. After the fall of Lordaeron, Terimas' life hit an all-time low, as he spent most of his days inside taverns drinking to cope with his grief. He eventually encountered Ghorin Brighthammer, a dwarf paladin and former knight of the Silver Hand, who would act as Terimas' mentor in becoming a paladin.

Wrath of the Lich King
When the War against the Lich King commenced, Terimas enlisted to fight alongside the Alliance Vanguard in Valiance Keep. It was there when Ghorin introduced Terimas to Dighton Phillips, a former Silver Hand knight who aspired to redeem himself for past mistakes. Terimas and Dighton became exceptionally good friends as they went on various missions throughout Borean Tundra. When they recieved word of a plot against the assault on the Wrathgate, Terimas, Dighton and the high-elven priestess Elaedria Vin'arius volunteered to warn the Highlord of the imminent attack.
