Faltur of Umbar

Faltur was a Captain of Umbar on whom Slu Carlon's schemes to seize the crown of his land with the Corsairs' as allies. Since betraying his lord, Borathor, in T.A. 1617, Faltur had ruled the Seaward tower and the fief of Marcos. Like his master before him, he had aspirations toward destroying his fellow captains and making himself king of his city. In one of his many political gambits, he began to forge ties with Carlon.Gaining power over a puppet state in Bozisha-Dar, would have done much to raise his status with the folk of Umbar. Another factor in his planning was the influence of the Dark Priesthood. Their aid enabled Faltur to rise against his powerful master twenty-three years ago, and he had been increasingly tied to their will ever since. Though the priests were subtle in their manipulation of the man, they remained aware of all his schemes and often gave words of advice to lead him as their master bid.

Faltur was a man of impressive stature, standing over six and one half feet tall. He was muscular and handsome, agile and blindingly fast. He wielded a broad sword in battle, protected by a shield and a coat of fine chain mail. At distance, he aimed a heavy crossbow at foes. His customary clothing was dark gray and red, the colors of his house.
