Baron Elar is an enigmatic figure, driven and charismatic. It was Elar who ordered the extermination of the Paelion line, and who forced the Twelve to accept a new dragonmarked house. Always working to strengthen his line, Elar is willing to make great sacrifices to accomplish his goals, and he expects the same of those around him.
Elar’s connection to the Mark of Shadow is exceptionally strong. He is accompanied by two sword wraiths named Wrem and Wrek, who serve as bodyguards and advisors. The origin of these spirits remains a mystery; some say that they are embodiments of the Mark of Shadow itself, made manifest to guide the baron.
