'''<span style="font-variant:small-caps">Chet Olmec</span>''', Templar of Draj ''
:(Human Bravura Warlord / Leader / Lawful Good)''

'''Catchphrase'''
:"Take 'em alive!"  

'''Voice'''
:John Wayne's diction meets late-night DJ's voice and a hint of Phil Hartman for enunciation, with staccato words and drawn out interjections. 

'''Backstory'''
:Falsely accused of cowardice in battle by a rival for advancement, Chet Olmec, Templar of Draj, has been cast down into the arena with the dregs. The proud warrior has sworn a horrible and violent revenge on this rival, beginning with multiple stab wounds and ending with a full-body plaster cast to decorate the ruins of his stately manor. First, though, Chet has to fight his way out of squalor, and he's taking the bloodiest route possible.  But, in the Draj tradition, he's going to do it with Showmanship, and by the gods that'll involve fight choreography and flashy sacrifices. 

''Traditionalists vs. Reformists''
:In court politics, the Templars of Draj are divided into the more numerous but disorganized Traditionalists associated with the Two-Moon Temples and the tight-knit Reformists associated with the Elemental Temples. Chet Olmec is (or was) a rising Traditionalist. His enemy, rival, accuser Lord Hueyibad is amongst the chief Reformists.

'''Description'''
:A tall man usually seen either in ostentatious scale armor or the equally ostentatious clothes of Draj nobility, with the large green gem of his Templar status set between the jaws of the jaguar's head at the apex of his feathered warrior headdress. A cahulak, the double pair of four bone blades connected by a long length of rope, is wrapped around his waist ready to be flung far to smash into an approaching foe or held near to tear the flesh of a melee combatant. An obsidian blade hangs at his belt for more...ceremonial...occasions.

'''Personality''' 
:Chet Olmec is the quintessential warrior of Draj: a stalwart believer in the divinity of his god-king and an imaginatively violent fighter. His habit of leaving his defeated opponents alive is not a mercy but rather an acknowledgement that a ritual sacrifice is more intimidating than a death in combat. He is a man of passions: rich loyalty to his friend and ally Matalihutl, dark rage toward his enemies, vibrant zest for dancing the interface between life and death. These passions all combine to fuel a roiling and explosive anger at the sight of Injustice. Not for his personal experience (for that is his honor to avenge) but accompanying his belief that though some may be born slaves, any who stands and fights with honor is a slave no longer, even in death. A radical anger indeed in a slave-holding society, but it is a philosophy derived of that society's violence: If you're willing to fight, you're free. But Chet neither promises nor expects a fair fight.
