Captain Gordian
Captain Gordian Jalcyiri
The lawful, stubborn, and determined leader of the Tyris Ren Guard, Gordian is a recent citizen of the 'shit heap of Asrinheim' but has already made his mark in his steady reforms of the deeply corrupt and ill-disciplined militia force. Gordian is a sore thumb within Tyris Ren, a man of his word, honest, and honourable - their actions to reform the guard and uproot its rotten apples have earned him plentiful enemies, but so far he remains in control of the faction and a key citizen of the town.
Gordian has persued the Summerfrost Syndicate and Corvis Crime Family and also had a few altercations with The Phantom. Despite nearly coming to blows in their first encounter, Gordian has come to trust Doomed 2 Die due to their affiliation with Fr. Tomos Siegfried.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born in the mountain town of Skalanren, Gordian made their name and modest fortune as a soldier in the town guard and later as man-at-arms for House Moonbow during the 40 Year War. Coming from a military family, Gordian has a modest background and when the position as Captain of the Guard came up at Tyris Ren after the previous captain, Losath, became a councillor, they were hired by Mayor Baltion as part of a 'push on crime.'
Expected to fail, Gordian has done much to uproot the corrupt nature of the guard where he can. The Militia is no longer openly taking bribes as readily, and police brutality has decreased under his watch. They have managed to clamp down on crime, but this has largely been aided by the implosion of the Summerfrosts and the appearance of The Phantom. Gordian is actively pursuing the Phantom, at least publically.
The Long Halloween Arc
Gordian first met Doomed 2 Die when they came across an abandoned hunting shack that Gordian was surrounding with some guard. Inside were Summerfrost renegades, who had recently captured and tortured the Mayor's pet Unicorn. Val gave an opening for a Summerfrost to nearly kill the captain, but this was foiled by the sudden appearance of The Phanton of Tyris Ren. Gordian did call for the Phantoms arrest, and a four way fight between the vigilante, summerfrosts, and guard began. Gordian's forces were initially attacked by the adventurers, with Shan stunning two of his militia, and Val openly calling for them to be killed. Once Shan saw the unicorn, the party began to actively help Gordian and Val convinced him to aid them. Gordian let them go, giving Shan 4 hours of community service for their role in stunning the guard. In the aftermath, the captain began to look for the unicorn (rescued and ridden off by The Phantom), but did invite Val to come visit him for information on 'missing people' in Tyris Ren. The party would visit Gordian the following day, and recieved a dossier of information assembled by Gordian and the deceased Guardsman Massey, and the party were 'deputised' by the captain. When the warning bells for a prison riot went off, Gordian allowed the party to help quash it.Employment
Gordian has been employed as Captain of the Tyris Ren militia since Axefall, 1052, 3e. Prior to this, they were a soldier and man-at-arms in Skalanren and for House Moonbow for their entire adult life.
