Carlon

Slu Carlon is the most powerful individual on the Council of Regents which rules the city of Bozisha-Dar. He lives in the mostexpensive of the seven premier palaces and has a following among the common folk of the city that is unrivaled. This loyalty remainsconstant, many say, largely because of his handsome features anda complexion of the lighter cast that marks him as a city man.Though such complexions are not common even in the Dar, it is taken by the city's commoners to set him firmly apart from the hillmen and the people of the deep desert. This, in addition to enormous wealth that has belonged to his family for generations,has secured him a high position in the Council. As the occupant of the Palace of The Wood, the role of Ambassador to Foreign Powers is his as well, with all the advantages that go with the position.Carlon is an man of imposing appearance. He is tall and solidly built, with the walk of a born warrior. He keeps himself impeccably groomed with a trim mustache and beard and close-cropped hair. His manners match his image. He is mild in speech, but under thewords one can feel that he is used to having his commands obeyed.He is a swordsman of great skill and has also gained renown for his merit as a tactician. His banner bears a silver scimitar against a field of crimson. Despite these merits, he has been blinded by his lust for power. Slu Carlon corresponds regularly with friends in Umbar, and his letters speak openly of plans to seize the crown of his land. He fails to realize that his own people would see him dead within an hour of hearing of his scheming. He has also been completely duped by his would-be allies, who have no intention of using him as more than an avenue for the insertion of their will into the region. Fortunately, perhaps, both Carlon and his northern friends under-estimate the power that would arise from the Bozishnarod if these plans were set in motion.
