Onslaught
Franklin Gloeckner was among the unremarkable rank and file soldier during the first expedition of the Scarlet Onslaught. Whether it was circumstance or sheer grit that allowed him to scrape by to this day and during the assaults on Onslaught Base Camp, Gloeckner's hard-boiled discipline was strong even as mere grunt. Despite fighting a losing battle and having many opportunities to defect, he was far too stubborn to abandon his post, and the Crusade was the only life he has ever known. Oddly enough, Gloeckner did not suffer much of the delusion that his comrades did, as he was well aware of the corruption seeding its way into the Onslaught's ranks, but he has professed a fairly matter-of-fact indifference regarding the matter.

Among the splintered remnants of the Onslaught, Gloeckner was eventually thrust into a position of command. The similarly minded crusaders remained fiercely loyal to their newly appointed captain, where they continued to hold their ground within the frozen wastes.

Truthful
When the Truthful began to prepare for the Dragonblight Offensive, Ostrick negotiated an alliance with Gloeckner and his men. Though the Onslaught captain remained wary of his command being usurped, the High Cleric gave him and his men the ostensibly prestigious role of 'Kingdom Defender' within the united ranks. Sent to watch over the Scarlet Watchtower near Frostmourne Cavern, Gloeckner was to man the final point of assault for the encroaching Alliance forces. Time passed, and he had yet to see battle during the campaign. Word eventually fell upon Scarlet Point that the the Truthful abandoned the garrison of New Hearthglen.

Current
Feeling betrayed and forgotten, Gloeckner would not remain near a haunted cavern indefinitely. With New Hearthglen once again occupied solely by the Onslaught, he and his men merged with the remaining ranks of the faction. He has sworn himself to the Raven Conclave.
