Zespire, Orlundo

Count Orlundo Zespire

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Although he learned the fundamentals of governance from his parents and uncles, as the third-born son of his family, Orlundo stood little chance of inheriting much more than a title. He joined Taldor’s military and traveled widely, first as an ambassador’s guard and later as the leader of a pirate-hunting unit along the Jagged Saw Coast, the most treacherous stretch of Taldor’s coastline. His orders to track and capture a particularly nefarious pirate led him all the way into the River Kingdoms in pursuit, and it was there that his tenacity and sheer skill on the rivers earned him his nickname, “the Iron Gar.” The expedition made him a minor hero back home, and Grand Prince Stavian III appointed him to a vacant seat in the senate, where he represents central Tandak’s interests.

Employment

Orlundo is widely seen as one of the nation’s more capable administrators, though he suffers from a lack of both resources and cooperation from Earl Calhadion Vernisant. The earl’s apparent negligence has allowed piracy to thrive in the canals of southern Tandak. Much to Orlundo’s chagrin, the raw material he sends to Ridonport for export often falls prey to these pirates, only to resurface in Ridonport’s markets for sale. The count believes Vernisant is to blame at least for poor maintenance of the canals, even if he’s not outright complicit in the raids.
