Marshal

When "Swampy" joined Clan Balmoral from a clan in the far reaches of Nature's lush gardens, it was by far the furthest from home he had ever been. It was Unity who chose him, who picked him up and carried him halfway across the world to meet his new clan.

So little did "Swampy" know.

His adventure was only just beginning, and the future held more than his wide green eyes could imagine...

For he was destined to become the General of the clan, ferocious and proud as his mentors taught him, as sharp and cunning as the Serthis he commanded.

Changing his name to Marshal (and enjoying the double meaning of it), the big Guardian also chose his familiar from the ranks of assembled Serthis. The one who came to his side was the sharpest of both mind and tongue, swiftest in attack and slowest in retreat.

Ashkasa was his name, a leader among his people and a ferocious warrior. He did not believe in peaceful revolutions, seeing all too well the damage wreaked on his people by dragonkind. For now, he was a friendly face. Tomorrow, he could well stab them in the back.

Marshal's recruits have drawn some very silly graffiti of him on the barracks wall. He is not impressed. Majestas is, though - he was (foolishly) unaware of a Serthis' skill with a charcoal stick.
