Garlthik One-eye
Garlthik maintains a very careful balancing act between his life as a Master Thief, and his role as Magistrate of Travar. As a Thief, he believes in freedom and cynical self-interest, yet as magistrate he must enforce order and subjugate other peoples’ interests to his own, limiting their freedom.
He negotiates this contradiction in a few ways. First, he only enforces the bare minimum of law that is necessary to keep the city from falling apart, such as not bothering the farmers. Second, his continual fight against slavery and those that would limit his idea of greater freedom.
Finally, Garlthik justifies all of his efforts to improve Kratas and protect its residents, at least those loyal to him, as being a ploy to protect himself. As a young thief he would not allow himself to get tied down to any one place, person, or possession. Now in his old age he tells himself that he only stays in Travar as long as it is in his interest to do so. Despite the hundreds of loyal followers, his great hordes of treasure, and the years spent protecting his city, he would leave it all in an instant if it became a burden. At least, that’s what he tells himself.
