Father Garma Rummel is a 3rd Class Sentinel and the acting Headmaster of the Sentinel Academy in Ovyliax. As a devout Cleric of Xalin, he is a central figure in the academy's leadership, responsible for both the administrative well-being of the institution and the moral and tactical education of its candidates.

Role at Sentinel Academy

Leadership: As the Acting Headmaster, Garma oversees the orientation of new candidates, makes official academy-wide announcements, and is the primary authority figure in charge.

Instruction: Father Garma personally teaches the "History of Team Tactics and Leadership" course. While he is a profound expert in military history, his lecturing style is noted by students as being particularly "dry," often causing them to struggle to remain attentive.

Mentorship: He is a key member of the panel that interviews new initiates, using the opportunity to gauge their character and potential. He has a private office next to the academy chapel where he holds office hours, offering students supplemental academic materials and guidance.

Personality and Traits

Father Garma presents a warm, pleasant, and professional demeanor, embodying the role of a kindly headmaster. He is deeply devoted to his faith and the principles of the Sentinels, believing strongly in the importance of order, history, and protocol.

Beneath his formal exterior, however, lies a more jovial and passionate individual. His primary hobby is brewing, and he is an enthusiastic and competitive mead-maker. He created his own brand, "Tyrane's Tipple," which he enters into the annual Crafters' Conclave, a religious competition. This passion extends to him keeping his own beehives, much to the chagrin of some of his colleagues. He has a friendly and humorous side, as seen in his participation in the academy's "tea vs. coffee" debate, where he firmly declares himself "team coffee."

Abilities and Skills

Historical & Tactical Expertise: As the instructor for Team Tactics, Garma possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Mistorian military history and strategy.

Clerical Magic: As a Cleric of Xalin, he is a capable combatant when necessary. He can channel the "righteous fury of his faith" through his staff, projecting powerful blasts of divine energy and casting support spells to bolster his allies.

Medical & Forensic Knowledge: Garma has sufficient medical training to conduct initial examinations of the deceased, as he did with Koli, taking samples and identifying surface-level trauma.

Brewing: He is an accomplished brewer, specializing in honey mead.
