The Lieutenants: 9th, Andarus

“See the calm with which he fights? The man will never make a mistake, you will have to be better than him to win.” –The Lieutenant Training Grounds, Islos

Andarus is the oldest, most experienced of The Eleven. Receiving the rank later than most who earn the title, he is in his late 50’s, in the last few years before the typical Aquari retirement. Like their rivals, the Aquari age slower than the common mainlanders. Their average lifespan is not that much longer, however, their ‘senior’ years just come later and do not last as long. In his fifties, Andarus may have some grey hairs, but he is still fully capable. He is not simply living out the rank until a probable death, by any means.

Andarus is one of his King’s ‘favourites’ because of his reliability in carrying out orders without question or deviation. His fighting style is simple and efficient, an all-around approach that gets the job done, using a combination of a sword and a mid-sized shield. His experience with so many combat situations over his long career, in combination with his wisdom, has created this efficiency. There are no style-points with Andarus, but you can be sure he has seen more than you have, and nothing you use against him will come as a surprise.

  1. I like this guy! Do you have a guy that specializes in defense, or is this him?

    1. There is a one who is very defensive minded. He’s further up the list. This old fella is more of a counter specialist.

      1. I love a defensive minded fighter. When I played D&D the GM always hated me because I was so hard to hit. I am enjoying the list. Keep em coming.
