Once a "Roofwalker", Edwin was called to rebuild the City of Stormwind because of the skills he acquired from his father, a master stonemason. Edwin offered his services like many others, and after rebuilding the city was refused pay from the House of Nobles.
This lead to a full scale riot which claimed the life of Tiffin Wrynn, angered they were banished from Stormwind. With the remaining artisans and stonemasons, Vancleef formed the Defias Brotherhood to seek revenge and destroy Stormwind.
This is still a work in progress. Any constructive feedback or criticism is welcome.
