Galarion Senekos
Archon of Ortysia (a.k.a. Galarion The Old)
Galarian Senekos is the Archon of Ortysia, and one of the most prominent nobles of the realm. Despite the city's relatively small population compared to Lageta and Nazzareth, Ortysia remains one of the only trading ports remaining for The Western Calradian Empire, and the primary port through which goods from the South of The Perassic Sea can enter the country. Thus, House Senekos has grown wealthy from the trade in luxury goods from the south.
However, Galarion must constantly contend with the borderline rampant criminal elements within the city, and he has even semi-legitimized The Hidden Hands in order to keep the other criminal organizations in check.
It is this constant back and forth that has given Galarion himself a reputation as a less-than-honorable sort of ruler. Whether or not this is actually the case, he has trained all of his children well in the art of subterfuge, and even the military commanders of House Senekos are known for utuilizing the guile and deception over a straight confrontation. It is this trait that made Galarion famous, as he was the only Imperial commander in the war against The Battanian Confederacy to win against them, by using their own tricks and ambushes against them. Though they lost the war, this has given Galarion significant fame as a military commander, and at least the respect of the other Archons.
His advanced age is starting to catch up with him though, and over time he has been forced to stay in the castle keep more and more, delegating the running of his realm to his children. Many are warned to not dismiss him though. Despite seeming like his mind has begun to go, some have found that this is a mere ploy, to lull his enemies into a false sense of security.
