Dorro Senna
Lecto of Eastwatch
Lecto Dorro Senna
Mercenary, explorer, gladiator, slave, merchant, adventurer. Very little can't be said about Dorro Senna.
Originally from Eastwatch, then called "Doreus", he left as part of a mercenary company, Black Banners, on escorting caravans back and forth across the Great Long Way. After he gained the coin from that he started a merchant company himself with a few friends. Being their own guards didn't suit them as they quickly broke down on money, leading them to take up other jobs to keep the firm going.
While exploring and mapping mountains bordering the Great Ash Waste to the east, he is said to have encountered a sphinx, which withered his left eye away with just its gaze after Dorro failed to answer its riddles. When returned from that adventure he was informed by his last remaining member of the Black Banners that he knew of that their fortune had fallen, along with all their remaining accounts in a shipping raid by pirates along the southern coast of the continent. They still had debts to pay, so they took up adventuring as a job together to keep the debtors off their back.
It didn't last long as his last remaining friend was soon killed after he failed to recover from mummy rot, leaving Dorro alone in the world with enough debts to sink a guild. He was thrown into slavery and sold to the fighting pits of the newly formed Mar'Galdo, where he was technically a free man. What he saw there is very rarely discussed, but he mentioned that he picked up his last name from his tutor in combat, Senna. He became "Haken Ancient Eye", a popular in the duels in the arenas. With help from his tutor, he managed by buy his way out of the pits and returned to his home.
The recent occupant of the post of Lecto had gone missing, after he went to follow a caravan over debts that they owed. Dorro's reputation went before him and, not being the impulsive young man he once was, he considered the opportunity thoroughly. He decided to stand for election when the time came, no one else standing in the election against him.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Verging on 50, he still holds all the physical faculties that any man of 30 could expect, such that his use of a cane is thought to be merely a false flag to lure in his enemies. It wouldn't be past him, according to some people.
Some speak though of his supposed encounter with the sphinx having deeper scars than what is seen in his eye. Often, during situations of great stress, he places his arm behind his back, though nobody has seen why he does so.

Tanned skin. Burns around his wrists and neck, due to lack of coverage in the harsh sun.

Moves with a cane, though his limp isn't that pronounced.
