Brandon Lightstone
In Northshire Abbey, Brandon Lightstone kneels to receive the blessing. He grips the haft of his hammer, murmurs a prayer to the Light, and puts memories of his farm and family behind him.
A lesser man might crumble into drink and depression and oblivion with that memory behind him. A lesser man might have tried to follow his wife and daughters into their graves. A lesser man might have ridden blindly off in search of vengeance against the orc raiders who brought that pain upon him.
A man like Brandon Lightstone used to be. Before he found his calling.
Standing, Brandon towers over the priest before him. He lifts his hammer over his shoulder, turns, and leaves the Abbey. The farmer, father, husband he used to be is gone. Now he is a servant of the Light, and he is bringing Justice, Righteousness, and Vengeance with him to Lordaeron.
Brandon Lightstone is the Alliance Paladin (no, there is no Horde Paladin). As a mail-wearing, hammer-wielding, servant of the Holy Light, Brandon is able to both dish out and withstand a considerable amount of damage. Although almost none of his abilities provide him with blue ranged-strike dice, the copious amounts of red and green dice he rolls, combined with his respectable amounts of Reroll and Attrition, ensure that the Paladin will survive long enough to put his enemy in the ground. The fact that he has a reuseable healing power doesn't hurt, either.
