Tunon Archon of Justice

Tunon the Adjudicator is the Archon of Justice and creator of the Fatebinders. Eldest of the Archons in service to Kyros, he has served the Overlord for over 400 years. He came from humble beginnings, starting as a scribe decades before his country was absorbed by Kyros' empire and ending as the foremost expert on law, a widely respected arbiter and drafter of covenants. By the time Kyros' armies arrived, Tunon has already woven Kyros' Peace into his nation's legal code, making the annexation a formality. Tunon was hailed as an architect of peace and referred to as Tunon the Fair for a time. However, when Kyros learned of the part he played in the annexation, she bestowed the title of Adjudicator on him and declared him the Archon of Justice.
    His closest associate is Bleden Mark, the headsman of the Court. Their... Collaboration dates back centuries, sustained by immense respect between the two Archons. However, respect is not synonymous with friendship: Neither considers the other a friend and, in fact, it's not known if after the centuries Tunon is even capable of harboring human feelings. Or if there is even a man still under the mask and robes that seem to be ever-filled with smoke. Tunon doesn't like when the question is asked and others don't dare speculate.   Appearance   Tunon carries two masks:   1. The Silent Face is his silver-colored mask. It is a patient face - a face for listening as Tunon presides over all matters brought to the court, taking great pains to ensure all sides of an issue are heard."[5]
2. Face of Resolve is donned in war and during particularly challenging affairs. Tunon's last known donning of the Face of Resolve was the moment he judged the districts in the Bastard City. Since then, he has ruled the Northern Tier justly, calmly, and with efficient diplomacy.[6]
3. Tunon is said to have worn a third mask in eons past. The face is rumored to have displeased Kyros and thus was destroyed - as happens to all persons and objects that displease the Overlord.[7]   Tunon's robes are notably unwrinkled - likely the effect of time spent hanging midair. The material is stiff and harsh against the skin. Though he acquiesced to wearing fine garments for the execution of his authority, he eschewed all of the luxuries or comforts that his position would have afforded. Bracers are made of coarse, unforgiving material. The palms are stitched with the wording of obscure laws, though you doubt Tunon needed any help remembering them.
