General Raathnar (ra-th-nar)

Grand General Of The Imperium

Raathnar is the Grand General of the Draconic Imperium's army. He is intensly dedicated to serving the Imperium and wishes to win the war at any cost.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Raathnar is a tall, muscullar intimidating dragonborn who looks as though he could rip off limbs with his bare hands.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

Raathnar is a cold and calculated man. He seldom acts with malice, but rather pragmatically. For example, when faced with high casulty figures rather than bleeding his reserves of manpower dry or let up on attacks, he ordered the conscription of the population in occupied areas. When conscription didn't work, he turned to enthrallment to force the populace to the frontlines.   While he is aware that this action was morally wrong, it served his purposes well and brought him closer to his goal, so he belives it was justified.

History

When Raathnar killed general Omar Jurai during a duel, he thought he had defeated the Republic's best tactican. When the young and seemingly inexperienced Bishop took command of the Republican Army Raathnar initally paid no mind. After all, what could this dumb human do?   After witnessing Bishop's scorched earth tactics and the defense of Whitesburg his perspective changed.   When Bishop arrived on Iyass, he knew of Raathnar and how he led the Imperial army. Bishop's stategy was to bleed Raathnar dry in a war of attrition before retaking lost territory. When Raathnar resorted to increasingly brutal meathods to keep the war going, Bishop lost what little respect he had for his foe.

Relationship Reasoning

To Raathnar, Bishop is the perfect rival. A truly equal foe who is to be respected.   To Bishop, Raathnar is a psycopathic bigot who will stop at nothing to end as many lives as possible.

History

As preperations for the Fourth Crusade were underway, Gatha selected Raathnar due to his charismatic nature and creative stratagies. The two have a grat deal of respect for the other, with Gatha having absoloute trust that Raathnat can run the Imperial military effectivley and Raathnar trusting that she will let him do his work without interfering.  

Show spoiler
The two had a breif affair before the war began, and Gatha seems interested in resuming it once the war is over.

History

When Raathnar was given an order by Gatha to hunt down her child, he was suprised, but complied without asking questions. However, he has never really seen the Hatchling as a priority and thus hasn't dedicated many resources to finding him exept for when Gatha pesters him about it. He is more or less indifferent about the Hatchling's existance. He is just another objective to complete.   For the Hatchling, Raathnar is an ever looming threat who always seems to be on his tail.
