Ladislav Hightor

Ladislav was over two hundred years old when the Last War began. The scion of a dwarf merchant family dwelling in Thrane, he fled from that nation when the Church of the Silver Flame embarked upon its crusade against lycanthropes. For many decades he dwelt in Cyre, keeping his secret and working as a jeweler and metalsmith. In that time, he came to love the cultured soul of that nation, and he was as enraged as any native-born Cyran when Mishann was denied her ascension to the throne. Ladislav enlisted in the Cyran military, where he fought for several years until his unit perished. From that point on, Ladislav battled alone. His favored targets were spies and double agents, and he was more than once hunted by Cyran officials for murder, until it was revealed that his victim had in fact been an operative of Karrnath or Thrane, rather than the loyal citizen he or she seemed to be. His fame spread, thanks in part to a Cyran bard who witnessed his activities, and he grew to become one of the nation’s most beloved folk heroes.
