Nation: Ascalon
Age: 61

King Adelbern is the old, brave, and sometimes stubborn, king of Ascalon. He was a warrior of great repute during the Guild Wars. He fought many glorious battles for his former guild Ascalon's Chosen including the famous Battle of Rin where legends were made of how he saved Ascalon that day. As king, he is loved by his citizens both for his demeanor and his integrity.

During the Guild Wars, the Royal Family (which had ruled Ascalon for centuries) was weak. They started to become puppets of the Guilds and almost allowed Ascalon to fall into ruin as a result of the infighting Guilds. Adelbern, supported by the people, rose as a champion to overthrow the corrupt family and bring order to the kingdom.

Even after the Searing, King Adelbern holds that the Ascalon Army and the Wall can hold back the Charr. This is a view that is contested by many among his people. Most prominent among them is his son, Prince Rurik. Rurik believes that Ascalon should strike back at the Charr. There are also others who believe the Charr will overpower the army.

Later on, in the quest "The Last Day Dawns," King Adelbern makes a final great stand in defense of his homeland.
