Cestellan Drimbel

Cestellan Drimbel, the stern Castellan, fiercely loyal to Lord Velor, and protector of his lands.

Name: Cestellan Drimbel
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Appearance: A tall, imposing man with a shaved head and a long scar across his face. He wears a black cloak over his chain mail armor and carries a heavy sword at his side.
Voice/Mannerisms: The Castellan speaks in a deep, gruff voice. He is always serious and to the point. His posture is rigid, and his gaze is unwavering. He rarely smiles and prefers to communicate with direct commands.
Ideal: Duty - The Castellan is fiercely loyal to Lord Velor and will do whatever it takes to protect him and his lands.
Flaw: Arrogance - The Castellan believes that he is always right and that his word is law. He is often dismissive of others, especially those who are not as powerful as him.
Bond: Lord Velor - The Castellan would die for Lord Velor. He sees him as more than just his liege lord; he sees him as a father figure and a friend.
