Public Information: Khorson was born into Clan Khaznarok aboard a wagon during the time of the Zvarkglar, when his kin traveled from camp, to camp after the loss of their home. Khorson's youth consisted of learning the ways of war and defense amongst his people as well as some tutoring in the Overseers, especially Memnos and Luscient. While Khorson bore much respect for all of the Overseers for the most part, especially Memnos, he was not drawn to any in particular until he felt the calling of Lethe. In his youth he devoted his time between martial training, and learning the lore of the clans and his studies of Lethe and what tutoring he could find. He looked to the warriors known as paladins, who amongst the Haerkglar typically followed Memnos, and sought instruction from them, although tempered with the teachings and ways of Lethe. His fascination with the lore of his people, the remaining bloodlines, and those that were lost with Hrasqueel and the reality of life during the time of the Zvarkglar, as well as his overpowering sense of duty he felt meshed well with the ways of Lethe, and in his eyes, the demeanor of his own people. Despite the rediscovery of Skolden'fel Stand Fortress, Khorson still has a powerful desire to travel, not out of whimsy, but out of a need to root out the evils that plague Eramere, especially those that might one day threaten his people and their rediscovered home.
Khorson had at one time sought out Alexander Griffith to help form an order of Paladins that would answer to no government and seek to defend those that could not defend themselves and hunt evil wherever it may try to hide. The creation of Alexander's Eternal Sentinels was the beginning of such an idea until his fall in defense of Torica. The rebuilding of the Knights of the Shield was a second chance at a similar idea and Khorson felt called to offer his blade to their cause. Still a loyal and fervent defender of Skolden'fel Fortress, Khorson offered to train any that sought to fight as heavy infantry and be in charge of patrols that ranged far from Torica. He was given the rank of Marshal before the invasion of Halmor and Kalimvar forces and continues to server in that position today.
