Biography
Leander was born four decades prior to the First War in the kingdom of Stormwind. At a young age, he joined the Brotherhood of the Horse, which he served for a number of years. He eventually decided to travel north and settle down in Lordaeron, marrying Adrillia Morgan. The couple would have two sons, Elihu and Dighton. Soon after, Leander became an ambassador of Stormwind, granting his family nobility. When Stormwind was conquered and laid waste by the Orcish Horde, Leander informed King Terenas of the kingdom's downfall as well as Anduin Lothar's arrival to Lordaeron. During this time, Leander taught both of his sons how to fight, initially for the purpose of self-defense. However, when Dighton exceeded his expectations, he decided to teach him everything he knows — swordsmanship, blacksmithing, horseback riding etc. Leander was proud as he witnessed his son become a paladin in the Order of the Silver Hand.

Leander was eventually murdered by a band of orcs who escaped from a nearby internment camp.
