Rondal

"Got to go, Marta. More of those creatures need killing on the lower walls." "I’m sure I heard it was the upper walls, dear." "That’s what I said! Look, there’s a chance I won’t come back this time." "You’ve been saying that for forty-four years. Go on, now."

- Rondal and Marta

Rondal was a soldier of Westmarch.

In 1241, he met or married Marta. He often stated that he might not come back from the field, despite beating the odds every time. At some point, Marta gifted Rondal with a locket.

In 1255, s kidnapped Marta. Rondal was frantic, but they returned her two hours later with an apology.

In 1285, he was at Bastion's Keep when it came under siege by Azmodan. As per usual, he warned his wife that he might not return from the field. They were still in the keep's stronghold when demons emerged from the lower levels, though the creatures were repelled by The Nephalem. Rondal stated that he'd ask if Marta was alright, but that he knew better.

The Nephalem was able to drive the demons from the keep itself, though the siege continued. Rondal commented that things were looking up. He was reluctant to take too much credit, as he pointed out there were other soldiers, but Marta stated that she hadn't noticed. She stated that he could get some rest, despite Rondal's protestations that he felt fine. When word reached them that The Nephalem had defeated Azmodan, they planned to leave the keep.

This didn't come to pass, as Adria betrayed the keep's defenders, killing many of them, including Rondal. Marta was consumed by grief, and refused comfort from The Nephalem.
