Klú-Relortín

Of the remaining two Regent-councilors of Bozisha-Dar, the wealthier was Klu Relortin. Like Del Imat, Relortin was a shipping mogul and, in recent years, had been only slightly less successful. It was probably only this area of competitive friction that had kept Relortin out of Imat's camp, since the two held very similar views on both political and religious issues. In any case, his vote was rarely set against that of the four. A further similarity to Imat existed in the fact that Relortin derived most of his support from the people of outlying areas. This endorsement came mainly from the bandit clansmen of the hills, which offered some explanation for the come-from-behind success that his firm had displayed; the caravans headed for his ships often avoided the land-pirates that plagued the rest. Dark and spare, Relortin was another man with the look of the desert about him. Bright black eyes peered over his hawkish nose with a commanding stare. Of all the Regent-councilors, he had the greatest gifts as a military commander and could tell of more than a dozen victorious battles from his years of leading armies forth from his home in the House of Warcraft. His favored weapon was an ornately worked, broad-bladed ax that stood nearly five feet high. His personal battle skills were less formidable than his leadership, but still Relortin was a respectable warrior. He wore clothing only of orange and blue and was never seen without his breastplate of shining steel. His troops marched under a banner bearing a silver sword against a field of bloody red.
