Time to introduce our leading man. Rolard of DuskHaven also known as Rolard Grolgamon is the Captain of the Guard amongst the Silver Knights. His command was charged with defending the Grolgamon family and the lantern itself. The failure of his command weighs upon him at times but as there was nothing he could have done to prevent the fall he has set it aside.
Rolard was born thirty-two years before the fall of DuskHaven. He is the son of Rolstan and Dilera. His father was also Captain of the Guard before him. He fell in battle just a few months before the fall and Rolard was named as his successor. Young for the post Rolard was looked down upon by many but his skill in the light made him one of the only choices for the post.
Rolard stands roughly six feet tall and in his younger days had dark brown hair down to the middle of his back but as he's aged the hair had gotten shorter, grayer, and has started falling out, In the present time he is mostly bald on top of his head with slightly longer then shoulder length gray hair. His eyes are bright blue and some have said intimidating at times.
His armor and sword are both passed down to him from his father. The armor is actually from his grandfather and the sword is now in its fifth generation of silver knights. The blade is slightly over three feet long and double edged. A traditional European longsword in design. It has proven its worth in countless battles with the demons. While objects do not possess magic on their own this sword has been in the hands of a skilled practitioner of the light for so many decades and centuries that it respond almost instantly to commands. In battle against demons it is often illuminated with white fire. It had been known to burst into flames without it's wielders command when fighting demons, The armor is steel with embossed patterns and sigils covering the breastplate, guards, and gauntlets, His helm was a full plate helm with movable visor though it was lost in his flight from DuskHaven. He prefers to fight without a helm but when the situation calls for it he carries a plain steel helmet with a basic nose guard. His shield is embossed with the rampant lion of DuskHaven on an Argent background.
He is a fairly stubborn man and has had to fight his way out of several situations that could have been solved diplomatically. He has dedicated the last thirty years of his life to raising an army to lead to DuskHaven and retake the city. He hopes that he can relight the lantern and drive back the demon hordes. His skill in the Light may be sufficient though he expects that the act will cost him his life. He views this as an easy sacrifice though if it means the recovery of his city and home.
