Personality:
It might be that Oropher is the most honest and direct person that you might encounter in your life. People often ask him for his opinion, because they know they will get a true answer from him. He is a well-trained and great warrior that has gained a lot of respect during his life. He has a lot of patience and gentleness in his heart. He lives to serve the people of the realm, to finish the purification that his ancestors started years and years ago. Some might misunderstand his passion and determination and see him as cold and heartless. But they are wrong. Oropher has a great amount of love in his heart that he is willing to give to those around him. But because of his dream to fulfill the purification, he often forgets to show it to the outside world. Sometimes he is so driven to better the life from others, protect them from harm and save them from danger, that he forgets to take care of himself. He lives his life without really living it.

But once you pierce through his layers of seriousness, you can stumble upon an elf that has a great sense of humor. That loves to laugh, having careless fun, drink and eat his belly full. You will see that his hands are not only able for merciless killing, but also warm and soft loving. But never forget that he will always strive to live his life like his ancestors would’ve wanted it. Some might call him old-fashioned, but he is just true to that what the Brotherhood sees as important. The only way to have and keep Oropher in your life is to stick to those terms also. Because he will notice if you fake it, he will see right through your mask and show your true face to the brotherhood. After all, he is the Master of The Brotherhood.

History:
Oropher is born as the first son of Gondien Manwë, a descendant from the first elves who inhabited Forlindon. This position made him the official heir to the legacy from Forlindon, since his father was the Master of The Brotherhood. It was a position he already grew very fond of as a young elf. Not because of the power that was behind that rank, no, just because of the responsibility and the respect that came along with it. When he was only a child, people already could see that the purest of elfish blood streamed through his veins. Oropher was a quick learner, serious and determined, which made him an eyecatcher for the public. It was no surprised that he got the power of shapeshifter and was able to turn into a golden eagle. He was one of the few Tso’ok that lived among the elves in Forlindon, another indication that there was a lot to be expected from him.  He made his parents proud, just like one day he would make the elves from Forlindon proud.

And that day appeared to come quicker than he had thought. A few days after his 22th name day, his father and sister went out on a mission, Náriels first mission. A mission that turned out to be the most catastrophic mission in centuries. Náriel took a wrong step, revealing both her and her father’s position. They were spotted by their target, which immediately called for backup. Both Náriel and Gondien were surrounded and outnumbered by enemies, and had to fight their way out. A plan that didn’t worked out like planned. Náriel was struck down by a spear, and Gondien gave his own life to protect his one and only daughter. His sacrifice helped Náriel escape into the surrounding. Even though she was struck down by her wounds and grieve, she managed to reach Forlindon again. But before she could tell where Gondien gave his life, she died from her wounds. Nobody ever knew where the former Master of The Brotherhood found his grave, since missions were individual and secret to everybody who did not take part in it, even other elves.

Oropher gave himself no moment to cry over his father’s death. He mourned, but in silence. It made him even stronger, even more responsible than before. After all he was the youngest Master The Brotherhood had ever had. There was no way he could let The Brotherhood down. He had to be there for them like his father was before him.
