Lord Devlin Holtby

Lord Devlin Uther Holtby is the Lord of Redmount Valley and the Founder and first Commander of The Redcloaks.

Childhood:
Devlin was born as the third of three children to a lowborn soldier of the Lordaeronian Military named Tobias Holtby III. It is said that Tobias III was a highly revered marksman and devoted family man and that sort of influence would eventually rub off on young Devlin, his third child. Showing the most interest in his father's expertise in archery and marksmanship. Proving quite the prodigy at a young age from his father's interest. However, as Devlin was a young boy, the third war would come about and his father Tobias would send his then-pregnant wife and three already born children off with him on a ship with Lady Jaina Proudmoore towards Kalimdor to escape the ravages of the Undead Scourge.

Devlin would spend most of his life on Theramore Isle, training with his father in the ways of hunting, tracking, ambush and every other form of military-like discipline. He'd also learn plenty of archery techniques from the Night Elven and High Elven visitors that would often frequent Theramore during it's prime.

The Destruction of Theramore
Devlin was out hunting when Warchief Garrosh Hellscream had ordered the destruction of Theramore by way of a mana-bomb. The young Devlin was out hunting in the Marshlands when he was ambushed by two orc grunts that appeared to be wearing the tabard of The Horde. They'd scar Devlin's face across his cheek, but by the skin of his teeth, the now young-adult Holtby would survive the attack.

However, when Devlin looked into the distance, he'd see the mana-bomb explosion that would turn his home into a crater.

Unaware as to whether or not any of his relatives had survived the explosion, Devlin set out on his own. Mentally devastated and alone, Holtby found himself working odd-jobs for different Goblin cartels and whoever would pay the best. Putting all the skills in ranged combat that his lowborn father had taught him to good use all while learning new ones such as espionage, stealth, and proper assassination protocol.

It is around this time that Devlin found himself lost and alone, filling the void with a life of debauchery, drinking, womanizing, and a love for gold would soon overtake him.

Stromgarde and rise to Nobility.
An incident with the Steemwheedle Cartel would send Devlin once again on the run through Stranglethorne Vale. He escaped to the one place where he knew would be safe, Stormwind City. It was there however that chance came to him. He'd draw the attention of Archduke Mathilan Lionblood who would then hire his services as a mercenary. Rather quickly, Devlin proved his worth, as soon after, The Fourth War would begin. Devlin would find himself on the front lines, ascending among the ranks and the trust of both King Danath and Archudke Mathilan.

Near the twilight of the Fourth War and the reclamation of Stromgarde, Devlin would be rewarded with the task of commanding the watch over Thoradin's Wall. In doing so, he was ordained into Nobility status, being declared the first of his line and granted his own strip of land along the south-west of the Arathi Highlands. The land was given the name "Redmount Valley" after the mountain range that took its southern half known as the "Red Mountains". His manor referred to as "The Arrow's Nest" would be constructed at the summit of one of these mountains. It is where he, his wife and children reside to this day.

Personal Life.
Devlin married his first wife around the time of the Fourth War. Within September of that year, she'd give birth to Devlin's twins Tobias and Fiole Holtby. However, would soon divorce after disagreements. His first wife would be deceased soon after.

Devlin would however bounce back and re-marry Selintha, adopting her daughter Abigail in the process. Sel would later give birth to their son Davien.
