The Weaponmaster. Renn is known to be one of the greatest swordsmen alive. Tales of his exploits have been heard for over fifty years so it is reasonable to assume that he is at least in his seventies. When he was young he worked for Emperor Thonum's father the Emperor Kentur. He is currently in semi-retirement in an expensive complex within the Capital where he and his trusted assistants train fighters. The Emperor's troops also train with Renn but do not pay the prohibitive cost most students face as the Emperor pays all the expenses of this valuable man.
The Betrayer. At one time the Lord Marquis Dithwin, son of Duchess Zalain, he was stripped of his title by Imperial decree after denouncing the legitimacy of His Majesty's rule. Dithwin now roams the Empire with his band of over 200 mercenaries and is no more than a common bandit. He attacks Imperial establishments and waylays caravans. He is responsible for the deaths of over 2,000 innocent citizens. The Emperor has dispatched a special contingent of mounted troops to catch this marauder. So far, Dithwin has evaded all such attempts as he and his men strike unexpectedly and quickly ride away from the scene on fast steeds. All caution should be exercised if their presence is discovered.
