Cassius Du'Crion

Cassius Du'Crion

Lawful Neutral Half-Elf Male Fighter 10

Appearance: Cassius Du'Crion is an extraordinarily pretty man with elfin features and long golden hair but the muscular broad shoulders of a human male. His face is deadened and cold with the wear and tear of the Last War having stripped away most of his enjoyment from society. His voice is thick and deep unlike one might expect from a Half-Elf.

Cassius still wears his Karrnath military uniform despite the fact its been removed of most regalia. Most notably is his Order of Rekkenmark ring and sword that many Karrns are shocked by.

Personality: Cassius is an overly serious man that doesn't suffer fools gladly. He is irritated tremendously by the Last War as a subject and seems more than a little bloodthirsty at the prospect of any combat to continue improving his status as a soldier of the Kingdom. His stuffy Karrnathian mannerisms prevent him from allowing anyone in his charge to come under harm and he is an especial defenders of the ladies and small.

Background: Cassius Du'Crion is the product of King Kaius the First with an elfish Handmaiden before he chose to marry an elfish woman. The bastard half-elf enrolled in the army when he was twenty years of age and proceeded to serve with distinction in the Last War for the better part of seventy five years.

Now approaching middle age for a Half-Elf, Cassius Du'Crion took his unit to the edge of Cyrean space and slaughtered the remaining defenders to escape the Mourning. Discovering they were to surrender and appalled by the terms of the treaty, he declared himself Lord of the Castle even as he found himself the master of a large number of Mourners mixed with various other sorts of refugees.

Roughly half of the defenders of the Castle are former members of Cassius' unit and many have brought their families from Karrnath to make their lives here. He is tremendously well respected amongst them but not a terribly inspiring leader. Most believe that he's just waiting for the peace to end so he can do something useful with his life since he has no experience as anything but a soldier.

The 'Colonel' as he is known to the majority of the inhabitants of Caer Shadowfast is the military governor of the town and enforces the Code of Kaius over the town as opposed to the Code of Gallifar. Many privately grumble about the draconian legal system of the town but few have any complaints about the fascist's effectiveness in protecting the town from frequent assault.

Cassius is a known heavy drinker on the weekends and is frequently on the look out for a new mistress since his 'relationships' rarely last long.
