Family: Bastard Ethou is the younger son of Richard Watson (father), respected guardsman and Laurell Ophelia Beaton (mother, deceased), lady of the night. The only sibling whom Ethou has heard of is James Watson (half-brother, deceased) who was to inherit all of Richard's assets once he passes. Without Ethou's own knowledge to the matter (as of yet) he has a 12 year old daughter called Candice Marson.

Known friends or enemies: As a laidback man, Ethou does get along with quite a few colorful characters, he doesn't however bond well with just anyone and only has few friends to mention.

Raenmar Alric; Commander and a close friend.  He overlooked Ethou’s brutal act, which led to death of a comrade, and gave him another chance whereas other Commander would have executed him in a blink of an eye. Raenmar has also given mental guidance to Ethou when he has been on the edge of collapsing.

Rosieanna Mosworth; (deceased) An important friend for the first few months within the Greyford Company, many of Ethou’s first journal pages are written by Rosieanna due to his own incapability to write. To Ethou it is still unknown that Rosieanna passed away in Stormwind soon after she resigned.

Although Ethou has been up north aswell as in Stormwind, he hasn't quite yet made any dangerous enemies. It is very possible however that quite a few women of Stormwind have a deeper hatred growing in them due to his incapability to tie the loose ends of relations.

Description: This coarse looking man sports scars of various sources all across his visage, paired with the perfect cheekbones genetics can give you along with hazy grey eyes which betray the long road he travelled at such young age, seeming a bit distant at all times. By the looks of it, his nose also has been broken several times, holding a fairly significant swelling on its bridge.

His hair is one of the coldest tones of wood-brown, the brown that reflects hints of grey in sun. That straggly and unkempt hair trails down his shoulders, nearly reaching the mid-back.
Without the tidy winnfell styled mustache the right side of his upper-lip would seem like a mush. Large clefts splitting it at various points. On his chin, fairly long and braided, soul patch takes place, adorning the same colour as his hair.

Posture of this man doesn't even hint to his past, holding his remarkably tall build with confidence and pride. The shape of his biceps, triceps, and deltoids are easily seen through any of his shirts, indicating that he clearly had time to pump the iron. Huge, broad shoulders, with various ink tattoo's, barely encasing in the clothing.

Mound of scar tissue at his left pectoral can be easily spotted, notably standing out as a pale spot on tanned skin. The thin scars starting slightly below collar-bone whereas cross-shaped burn scar is criss-crossed by other marks so the cross is a little crooked on right side.

Personality: Like a phantom, the ghost of his mother’s personality, Ethou can pull off nearly any social situation with determination, as immovable as granite.
Ethou mainly follows the etiquette, one which he sees fit to the occasion. Every inch of his body assumes wanted state, in perfect synch with his mind. He usually manages to come off as a moderately polite, humble soldier he’s ought to be.

Under courteous behavior patterns he nearly always disguises his true colors; cocky, self-righteous man who should be shot five miles south from hell. Truthfully, like a crow with shiny appearance, strutting along the gutter and looking for a morsel, Ethou is always willing and dedicated to rip off, betray, anyone. Should the opportunity rise.



History: Ethou was born as a bastard son to a respected guardsman, Richard Watson, who in the end cut all of their communing and even denied Ethou's existance. Ending up to grow apart from his half brother James Watson who's future seemed better since the very beginning.

The two-person family of Ethou's and his mother Laurell's was poor, house was to be repossessed various times due to late payments, but Ethou didn't grow weak, all of their money was used for his well-being. Even in a pinch, his mind was steadily set in future; where he could be the one taking care of Laurell.

The rascal kid grew to a rebellous teenager with an issue to control his anger. It was unexpected, dangerous. A day came when his anger exploded, crushing a man's spine, causing a permanent, partial paralyzation. Ethou was to pay.

Struggling without help to any of his issues and building up a wall between himself and other citizens he drifted further into crimes and soon enough found himself sitting a conviction of three years in prison. The times within four walls were unbearable at first but one day a delicate girl, novice priestess, was sent to Ethou's cell-block to give hope to prisoners. She never gave another glance towards him, never spared a word, but he was determined.

Three years passed slowly by building up his already magnificent body-structure and fighting the inmates with occasional, self-made weapons. The day of release came with only one thing in his thick skull; that girl. Confidently Ethou stepped to the girl, not even getting more words out of his mouth than "'Ey", when an overprotective father hit him square in the face with staff. Suppressing his rage, Ethou walked away with a calm smile dancing on his lips, sweetest greeting of all his life.

Days as a petty thief continued, along with all that, secret love bloomed between the girl and him. The girl with blue-eyes and angelic features was called Nickolai, Nicky to him. Both of them dreamt of the future together, for brief while Ethou was sent to military in order to fully pay his fines. For half year this went on until Ethou was discharged for breaking his Commander's jaw. Training had been hard and ruthless, deeper wounds were now covering this young man.

Nothing had changed, the two of them were together again, secretly but happily their lives intertwined together. Before one grave mistake, yet another crime in his records. It didn't seem much, but it was enough. For six months he was supposed to sit in jail again, never to be released. Death-sentence. Nicky was torn, each week she visited Ethou to just see him more and more withered each time, the joy of life was fading away from his eyes. Slowly.

The day of death creeped closer, and reaper was nearly knocking on the shattered windows that led to Ethou's weakening mind. Afraid of dying without knowing that her heart fully belonged to him, Ethou got on one knee in his chains and proposed. The answer caused thunderstorm within his grey eyes, just one cold word "no". It echoed through his mind, burrowed in his heart and froze there as a thorn. Nicky left.

A week before hanging the war begun, wall was broken, city was under attack. All of the prisoners were given a chance; die now or fight for your freedom. Without a hesitation, Ethou chose the war, despite his desperation at that very moment, he was never a man who gives up without a fight. Like a meat-shield without much skills in war, he fought mindlessly. None of the deaths around him distracted him of the ultimate task, task to live once more, freely. Once the opportunity sprung, he left the city for good, taking just his mother with him.
