==Backstory== Ledaal Endar (born Iselsi Radu) was integrated into House Ledaal under an invented identity with the help of another Iselsi hiding within the other house. This happened after Radu's early exaltation and after the boy was properly conditioned to never reveal his secret and to stay faithful to the Iselsi and the Scarlet Throne. Radu, now Endar, studied in the Spiral Academy, but didn't find the bureaucratic life right for him. So he went to tour the Threshold after graduating, doing some soul-searching, he claimed. Actually, he went to a satrapy secretly ruled by the Iselsi to discuss where the future would take him. There, Endar received an intensive combat training with promises that he was on his way to become a magistrate once they would orchestrate an incident that brings him to the Scarlett Empress' attention in a good way. This incident took place ten years later, when Endar exposed a traitor to the Empire in the presence of the Empress. In fact, the Empress might have been playing along in the plot, wanting a good reason to appoint a young magistrate who would be loyal to her and the Scarlet Throne in the way only an Iselsi can. Even this day, Endar doesn't know the truth behind this intrigue. However, Endar became a magistrate, most often traveling alone and rooting out corruption and keeping his eyes open for dangers to the Realm. During his years, Endar revealed a conspiracy of dynasts selling information to Lookshy, investigated many corrupt officials (often finding guilt if there was any) and uncovered evidence that enabled the Empire to subdue the Bloodied Scythe Uprising before it grew too large. His success earned Endar jade and fame, and he eventually married an Air-aspected dynast from House Ragara. Endar's wife, Ragara Sera, is a sorceress, and while they later had one Exalted and one un-Exalted child, there isn't really actual love between the couple, but some genuine affection nonetheless. Still continuing his tasks as a magistrate, Endar had the misfortune of confronting a Lunar Anathema while traveling in the Northern Threshold. The beast slew his few men, and the two fought fiercely. The battle ended when the Anathema had gravely wounded Endar and severed his left leg above the knee, and Endar done the same to the Lunar's weapon arm with his daiklave. As Endar was lying in the ground, near death, the Anathema sneered and nearly instantly regenerated its missing arm back. It likely then made a remark of Endar's lost leg in Old Realm, but the Terrestrial didn't fully comprehend it. However, the way the Dragon-Blooded had fought had impressed the beast, and so it left him alive (though near death), leg amputated with a Grimcleaver. It took weeks of crawling and fighting wild animals, but Endar managed to drag himself close enough to Cherak to get help. However, the stump where his leg had been had remained untreated for so long that not even medical charms could restore the leg again. He returned to the Realm as a cripple who was no longer fit for a magistrate. After Sera claimed back a favor from an artificer she had studied with in the Heptagram, Endar was fitted with an artificial leg that allowed him to walk, even if this was slow. Then, the Scarlet Empress herself let Endar know that he would not be wasted in some pen-pusher job, but he would join the All-Seeing Eye on the administrative level. Whether it was the Empress herself deciding, or if this was a proposal from the Iselsi running the Eye, Endar was now in deep debt to both parties. This was fifty years from now. Endar has advanced far within the hierarchy of the Eye, becoming an operator and overseeing numerous spies and managing operatives of his own. Though much of his work is administrative, he still longs for to do field work himself even though he knows that his disability makes him unfit for such work. His loyalties still lie with the Scarlet Throne and his original house, the Iselsi, like they do with so many other members of the All-Seeing Eye. However, the years and his work have made him more paranoid than before. He knows the Eye has secret masters of its own, and he is not sure they share his own loyalties. Recently, the house elders have informed him that someone close to the Scarlet Empress is plotting an assassination or even a coup. Then, just afterwards, comes the mysterious invitation hinting of the Bound Devil Chambers Conspiracy. Is it a coincidence? Even if not, it could offer the chance of finding out the potential assassin and counter-assassinate the traitor, no matter the cost to Endar.
