Ulder Ravengard

Blaze Ulder Ravengard

Blaze Ulder Ravengard is the incarnation of militarism. The only beauty he appreciates is precision, and the only quality he values is utility. He believes that personal ornamentation other than military insignia is a waste. A meticulous man, he forgets nothing and forgives less. Ravengard has never married and has no interest in domestic matters. Everything about him is geared toward practicality. Someone might consider him handsome, if not for his constant scowl and many scars.

Blaze Ravengard is Marshal Abdel Adrian’s right-hand man. He is both the second-highest ranking officer in the Flaming Fist and the warden of Wyrm’s Rock. Ravengard’s soldiers do not love him. They do respect his leadership, however, and pay for it with their obedience, which is exactly how Ravengard prefers things.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Ravengard is the fourth son of a lowborn Lower City smith. Since he had no hope of inheriting his father’s property, he decided to join the Flaming Fist. His discipline and meticulous nature helped Ravengard prove himself in battle and when handling day-to-day details for Adrian.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Once he decides on a course of action, Ravengard is relentless in its pursuit. He believes the Flaming Fist is the Gate’s backbone and the key to the city’s strength and superiority over its competitors.

Even though his rigorous self-control masks the depth of his feelings, the mercenary soldier seethes over the eagerness of ill-doers to control others, steal the fruits of honest folk’s labor, and otherwise misuse hardworking people. Therefore, he is determined to ground the Guild into dust. Ravengard believes that the criminal organization is waging a war against Baldurians, and he is determined to win it for them. He knows as well as anyone else, though, that wars aren’t won without casualties or collateral damage.

Vices & Personality flaws

What Ravengard doesn’t realize, however, is that he has a subconscious blind spot: He excuses all actions taken for the public good while simultaneously deploring identical deeds that others carry out for less altruistic reasons.
