Lord Commander Elias Drexel

The leader of the Hooded Lanterns is Lord Commander Elias Drexel. He is a large, gruff man in his early fifties. He is well-built and imposing, with a grim frown on his wide, angular face. His harsh features are framed with a thick mustache, side chops, and a mane of long braided brown hair. He is often garbed in chainmail with heavy leather gloves and boots, worn under a fur-lined dark green cloak and iron pauldrons, upon which is firmly clasped the Lord Commander’s Badge.

Elias Drexel leads the Hooded Lanterns’ mission to reclaim Drakkenheim and uncover a worthy successor to the throne of Westemär. He would love to have the financial support of House von Baden, but has a complicated relationship with Ludwig von Fritz, as the two were bitter foes during the Civil War. The Lord Commander receives moderate support from House Kleinkessel and the rulers of Geldstadt and Altbruke in his mission.
