[@rivaan] My idea was for a Paladin, but that said I only played Cata for a year and a hunter; all my Warcraft knowledge comes from voraciously playing through the first three Warcraft RTS games bi-annually and reading whatever short stories and comics are free on the WoW website. Thus for spells, is it fine if I just kit him out with the WC3 Paladin set of spells? 

Beyond that, my char idea was for a guy who's family is from Gilneas but a Kul'Tiran father, he would have experienced the WC3 events fighting with the Kul'Tirans Marines for the Silver Hand in general until the point in time Admiral Daelin (who did nothing wrong) was killed. Then he would have returned to Gilneas where he would presumably become a Worgen.
