Amuli Funatus

High Commander of the Cyrdian Army

The most powerful member of the Cyrdian Army, answering only to the Emperor himself, Amuli Funatus is a strategical mastermind and a skilled warrior in his own right.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

As a wight, Amuli's body appears to be rotten and decayed, but in reality his strength has grown beyond what it was in life.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Amuli joined the Cyrdian Army as an ambitious young man, and quickly proved himself to be a powerful fighter and a strong leader. He served for over 20 years and rose to the rank of Marshal before dying to an enemy assassin. Such was his love of war, however, that he rose again as a wight so that he could continue to fight. Rising through the more static upper ranks took much longer, and he became a General after roughly 150 years. In this high rank, Amuli had the opportunity to frequently meet with Emperor Cyrdin, who respected his single-minded drive to win. Feeling that the High Commander of the time was unworthy of the position, Amuli had him assassinated, a fact which is something of an open secret. Cyrdin knew what had happened, but didn't mind, as he believed that Amuli would indeed make a great leader of the army. He was promoted in the year 328 B.C., and has held the position ever since.

During his time as High Commander, Amuli sought to experiment with novel assets that could make the army much more formidable. While new spells and strategies have been tested and often successful under him, the most influential investment he made was into firearms. Amuli saw the potential of these new weapons when most of the world thought they were slow, inaccurate, and inferior alternatives to crossbows. This early investment yielded results, and guns now serve as an integral part of the Cyrdian armory, alongside the more traditional bows and crossbows.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Anything else Amuli once cared about has long since faded. Now his only priority is war. Development, strategy, and the rage of battle are what brings him purpose. Unlike the Emperor, Amuli doesn't wish for total world domination, as he would then have no opponents to do battle with.

Amuli's Fighting Style

Amuli's favored weapon has always been the greatsword, which he wields in one hand, seemingly with ease. He has a strange, lurching and sweeping attack style, which can often confuse and disorient his opponents. Recently, he has taken to using a pistol in his other hand, and often trains both in accuracy and reloading.
