Sir Silvershield
Sir James Silvershield (a.k.a. Sheriff of the Sewers)
Sir Silvershield, Sheriff of the Sewers, is the kind of paladin that everyone loves to hate. He is dutiful to an extreme. He is the epitome of the clueless cop. His uniform is perfect, but he has no clue on how to actually catch a criminal.

General Physical Condition
Sir Silvershield is well past his prime from the days of his youth. His hair is now white, his knees ache, and he is looking forward to retirement.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ser Silvershield rose to prominence defeating a scourge of dire rats in Heapside. After his victory, an anonymous benefactor recommended that he be appointed to the position Sherrif of the Sewers. Since that day, he has been the supreme, though not very appropriate, law enforcer of the sewers. (Neutral observers believe that Sir Silvershield was placed into this position by the Guild for his incompetence, to ensure that they could safely and effectively have free run of the sewer system.)
When Ser Silvershield took the position, he hired a young woman who he had rescued from the dire rats, Artemesia, and placed her into the position of Job's Clerk. The position is lowly, but Artemesia has come to effectively wield the power that Ser Silvershield is too incompetent to hold.
Ser Silvershield is infamously known for his conservative and hesitant leadership style. He often says, "We should take this problem to the authorities," when he himself is the exact proper authority that you should take a problem to. He epitomizes bad leadership. He sits on orders. He hesitates in moments of need. He never wishes to engage in any violence. When questioned, he speaks eloquently of the problem that must be over overcome, yet does nothing. The Guild picked the perfect candidate to neutralize law enforcement in the sewers.
