Let him keep all that rich history/whatever, and just change what needs to be changed or omit what needs to be omitted to allow him to fit here.

He was young when the Amalj'aa raided their hometown in Thalanan, taking the lives of George's little sister and mother. His father was severely wounded, but managed to save his son and take him into safety before bleeding out. George was orphaned and his town was gone. Everything gone.

After this event George abandoned Ul'dah and the idea of ever becoming a sultansworn. He believed the Sultanatehad betrayed him and wanted nothing more to do with them. In order to start a new life he migrated west to Limsa Lominsa where he enlisted in the Maelstorm. The training he received there complemented the sword techniques his father had taught him.
He was almost sent to fight the Garlean Empire when the war started, but he became deathly ill and was forced to resign from the military. He eventually went to Aleport where he spent a few years being a hired guard. He held strong values of Chivalry and politeness he recieved from being a paladin's son. But he also grew a great hatred for the beastmen. From there he adopted fishing to pass the time and lived his days peacefully as guard in Aleport.

The characters name is George Greene. His father is a strong Paladin who fought under the flag of Lordaeron. He also had a little sister. He did not often see his father much but when he did he would tell grand stories of what it is to be a paladin and would personally train him. He was young when the Lordaeron fell. He was taking care of his sister when the undead came upon their doorstep and started slaughtering the people. George watched his own little sister and mother get slaughtered. His father was too late to save them but he found George and taking the lead fought his way out of Lordaeron to save his son. But shortly after George reached safety his father died at the hands of the undead. George was orphaned and his city gone. Everything gone.

After this event George abandon the light and the idea of ever becoming a paladin. He believed the light had betrayed him and wanted nothing more to do with it. In order to start a new life he migrated south to Stormwind where he enlisted in the military. From there he received good sword training and became a warrior of sword and shield. He was almost sent to Northrend when the war started there but he became deathly ill and was not able to go. He eventually was sent to Lakeshire, a small human town to the east that was quiet and peaceful. He spent many years working there as a guard until he eventually became sheriff. He held strong values of Chivalry and politeness he recieved from being a paladins son. But he also grew a great hatred for undead and had no more faith in the light. From there he adopted fishing to pass the time and lived his days peacefully as sheriff in lakeshire.
