Ramos Stormforged

Ramos Stormforged was an exceptionally large boy, born to two Human soldiers in Emblem. As a child, he followed his family to a posting in the military enclave of Fort Verdane. He grew up heading stories of the Unholy Siege Of Fort Verdane, learning to regard the Elthysi Sovereign with fear. Surrounded by soldiers, Warriors, and strategists, he eventually became an accomplished warrior. His reputation was built on his performance during raids into the Howling Hollowland, where his physical strength and leadership impressed his superiors.

After this posting, Ramos returned to Emblem. He became a member of the Torchwarden for many years, never failing in his duty and developing a keen understanding of how to blend Spellcraft with martial prowess. After years of spotless service, he was appointed the Warden of Bleak End, Commona's high security prison on Aone Island. He managed the prison with the same diligence he applied to his time in the infantry; he viewed Bleak End as a final guard post against the Elthysi enemy, a fort less prepared than the one he grew up in, and constantly scanned the Sound of Silveril for unexpected threats.

Ramos oversaw the administrative center in the central tower and monitored the complex logistics of the remote outpost. While he was a serious leader who demanded order, he possessed a kinder and more generous nature than typical military officers. This temperament made him a popular figure among the guards who lived under his command, though he developed a reputation of constantly disappearing outside for smoke breaks.

Ramos knew his prison's guards as well as he did its inmates, and had a particularly strong relationship with the mainstay chef of Bleak End, Tiny Tulvrak. He later learned to rely heavily on guard Captain Placidia Liepina to execute his orders to run the prison, while he focused on the broader mandates of the Council of Commonlight.
