Balor (Ba-Lor)
Balor the Great (a.k.a. The Goblin Warden)
Balor, a figure distinguished by his quirky demeanor and an air of intellectual eccentricity, embodied a unique physical presence with his tousled, eccentric brown hair and a distinctive curved horseshoe mustache, characteristic of his inquisitive nature. His contributions during the Dark War were marked by ingenuity and valor. Balor played an instrumental role in the liberation of Valtara and offered crucial support in the Trade Centre Siege, showcasing his strategic insight and innovative approaches. Notably, Balor's legacy resonated in the realm of magic, as he pioneered the creation of the Haste spell within the domain of Air Elemental Magic. This arcane creation bestowed the ability to accelerate the movements of friendly allies, marking a pivotal advancement in magical prowess. Despite his affiliation with Preton, Balor maintained an independent streak, garnering admiration and respect from the Smiwell Goblin Tribes, who were enamored by his scholarly pursuits and knowledge. As the younger son of Dargath and the younger brother of Anfal, Balor's inclinations leaned toward the realms of science and alchemy rather than the path of a warrior. He sought seclusion in Smiwell before the war to delve into his studies, only to return to Preton after the conflict erupted. Tragically, midway through the war, his promising contributions were cut short by a fatal encounter with Elcant, King Elliott's emissary, marking a poignant end to a life devoted to intellect and innovation.
