Several forum friends gather to discuss
their excitement for the upcoming MMO
shown during 2004's E3 for Everyone
titled Guild Wars, they decide to name
themselves the Charter Vanguard.

29th Oct 2004
Charter Vanguard [CV] the guild, which
had grown significantly since its
first ad, is first created in-game
with Astral Deathseer as its leader.
About this time, the guild also finds
a new home in official fansite Guild
Wars Ogaming where its members begin
to host several forum role-plays that
they might participate in in-between
alpha and beta tryouts.
28th Apr 2005
Guild Wars is launched, and CV emerges
with Uthar Lanx in the forefront as
its guild leader, and a website designed
by officer Vlad Money. Unfortunately,
a portion of CV had grown to expect
a larger emphasis on role-play vs
linear gameplay, and thus decide not
to purchase the game.

About this time leadership is handed
to CV's 3rd leader Uber X. Officers
at this point are Halftoe, Fezz, Vlad
Money, Harith, and Tool Oiad.
Aug 2005
An argument breaks out between several
officers and members that ends in
a split into a second guild, The Covenant
[CoV]. Disheartened at the then ailing
guild of slightly more than ten, Uber
disappears leaving a surprise for
PvP officer Fezz, who logs in one
day to find himself the 4th leader
of CV.
Being a generally quiet person, Fezz
finds little faith in his leadership
from the guild. But he strives nonetheless
to save his beloved guild.
