Chaeron Leonipardes
Archon of Poros (a.k.a. The Right Hand of the Emperor)
Chaeron Leonipardes is the Archon of Poros, and head of the House Leonipardes. He had ruled the plainslands and herdsfolk of his territory by being a heavy-handed but neutral instrument, through which peace is achieved by not interfering in the affairs of the local houses and clans. However, when he is forced to intervene, all will defer to him, as he is well known as a mighty warrior and cunning tactician.
Chaeron is a war hero too, having led the legions of The Eastern Calradian empire to victory in the 6th battle of The Corridor of Blood And Tears, when a western army almost breached the area and was marching to beseige the capital at Amitatys. It was only the intervention of Chaeron's legions, which having having extensive herding knowledge, managed to harass the Westerners in travelling down a single dry road towards the city, where they were subsequently trapped, encircled, and destroyed utterly by the notoriously violent legionnaires of Poros.
In recognition of this victory, Chaeron was presented a massive sum of money as a gift from Emperor Lucon Osticos, and a position as his Head Military Advisor. This, his military achievements, and natural gravitas have earned him the moniker "The Right Hand of the Emperor"
The man himself is gruff and coarse to those who do not know him, owing to the reputation he must maintain. Though callous, none can argue that he is fair and level headed. Even the independent minded people of his region still respect him, even if they do not like him.
