Edler Gantor
Archedler Gantor Otterman (a.k.a. Glow)
"Gantor had been Yickalo's right hand man for years. There have always been whispers that he did the old man in, but I've seen them together. If Gantor had the option, he'd have taken the place of whatever fate befell Yickalo. He's a selfless man, and his ambition is service."
~Margrave Arronax Skinner, Elector of Cambreath

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Gantor was born on a ship bound for the Gantor Islands, from which he draws his name. His mother was the bosun and his father was the quartermaster. The pregnancy was a surprise, and the sailors and marines of the Foamspinner shunned the boy initially.
When they loaded up on trade from the Gantor Islands, the Foamspinner turned back to the ocean and made for their home port. On the way, they came across a goblin fleet. It was simply by the luck of a stiff and unexpected wind that they were able to outrun the enemy, and they began calling him Glow after an old sailors' tale.
His Becoming involved another voyage, and by the time he embarked on it he was already an officer on the Nightglove. He was to deliver a sealed diplomatic letter to the chieftain of a small island halfway to Shelor. He never opened the letter, and the chieftain gave him a notched stick in exchanged. When he delivered the notched stick to Edler Yickalo, he immediately became a trusted lieutenant of the older man.
He went on many such voyages through the years after rapidly attaining command of a ship, the Hatchetcrow. He failed in none of these missions, and slowly went from a trusted lieutenant to being a right-hand-man. He enjoyed this favor until his mentor disappeared.
Gantor never considered a bid for Archedler until he saw the next most likely candidate, the notorious Jarl Velgian. The Elector Council agreed with Gantor that Jarl Velgian was too ambitious and calloused to be trusted with the Archedlership, and Gantor has been leading Maecodia ever since.
