Lord Commander Elias Drexel
Lord Commander of the Hooded Lanterns
Biography
Elias Drexel is a man in his early fifties. He is stocky and imposing with a furrowed brow and a grim frown on his wide and angular face. His harsh features are framed with a thick mustache, side chops, and a mane of long braided brown hair. He is garbed in chainmail armor with heavy leather gloves and boots, worn under a fur-lined dark green cloak and iron pauldrons. He wears a pinned brooch - the Lord Commander’s Badge, the symbol of his office. A quiver, a longbow, and two longswords are strung on his back. Elias Drexel was appointed to the office of Lord Commander before the fall of Halarahh, and was outside the city leading training drills when the meteor fell. Afterward, he took part in three military expeditions to reclaim Halarahh and saw firsthand their horrors. He then went on to fight in the Halruaa Civil War alongside Mannfred von Kessel. However, a successful conspiracy led to the assassination of Mannfred von Kessel, and shortly thereafter, tragedy would soon befall Cecilia von Kessel. The loss of the von Kessel line has caused him considerable guilt, regret, and internal self-loathing since he was a guardian in service to the royal family directly long before the eldritch storm of falling stars devastated the city. He now serves as the Lord Commander of the Hooded Lanterns an irregular military force of patriotic warriors that desperately want to rebuild their former home. The rank-and-file soldiers fight a guerilla war to reclaim Halarahh street-by-street, slaying monsters, driving out outlaws, and arresting scavengers. Lord Commander Elias Drexel plans on establishing strongholds at key sites of strategic importance: the City Gates, Saint Selina’s Monastery, Saint Vitruvio’s Cathedral, the Clocktower, and eventually, Castle Halarahh. Thus far, the Hooded Lanterns have only succeeded in taking Shepherd’s Gate and the Halarahh Garrison.
