Captain Scaffa
Captain Marlene Scaffa
Captain Marlene Scaffa was the highest-ranked member of the King's Glaive, only behind the commander-in-chief Adelard Flodfald. She was renowned for her no-nonsense behavior and utter devotion to ideals of truth and justice. Prior to her third death, she was a devout Paladin of Enaldir. Although her jurisdiction technically extends to everywhere in the city of Fenrir, Scaffa presides foremost over districts adjacent to the Palatial Square (the Hearthstone Shipyards, Riverside Walk, Bell Quarter, Candor Park, Fortborough, and Midtown).
Following the events of the Veil Gala on Ethereal Moon 25, CY 1699, Captain Scaffa's soul had been trapped in the Liminal Plane until her reincarnation by Amathea Achaeus on the final day of the year. Her body has been transformed into an Environs Tiefling with no oath and no faith in her missing god. While in Argoskardis, she joined a mercenary party who had leads on work in the Eastern Kingdom of Chaelwyth. She is currently in the Hilltop Bastion, awaiting the arrival of the green dragon Conspira.
