Mastiff

Mastiff was a half-elven warrior who founded the Peril Contingency, and is credited with saving the world through it.
==Description==
===Appearance===
Mastiff's skin was shown to be caramel-colored, he was blind in one eye, appeared to be middle-aged, and was bald without facial hair save for eyebrows. Mastiff's build was athletic, however, and he wore black scaled armor, a large cloak, and carried a pair of shotels as weapons.
===Personality===
In his sole portrayal, Mastiff appeared very stern, serious, and direct. He was described to have hoped for peace through the Contingency, which did not happen, evidently. Mastiff also appeared to be at the very least not proud of the more violent nature of the Contingency, despite believing in it, as evidenced by dialogue given to the Chaptersires.
==Biography==
===Before the Final Days of the Contingency===
At some point before the Fire of Myrmidon, Mastiff founded the Peril Contingency, and at some point afterwards conducted the attack on Myrmidon for the city's violation of the Contingency, namely through its lord Gottard Yelver breaking its statutes to protect his daughter Yefritta. The ensuing massacre saw everyone that lived in Myrmidon, to include the members of the Yelver family, die in the carnage. The attack, while gruesome, was considered a success that preserved untold lives.
After the Fire of Myrmidon, Mastiff drenched cloths in blood and draped the Chaptersires with one each, and ordered them to divide and start chapters to enforce the Contingency across Sûndanse, an act which is considered equal in magnitude to the significance of the Fire of Myrmidon, if not greater, as it ensured the Contingency's longevity.
===The Final Days of the Contingency===
Mastiff has only appeared in the flashback Burn which closed Final Days of the Contingency's first chapter, and it is unknown if he is even still alive in the present day.
==Relationships==
===Chaptersires===
The four Chaptersires were said to be Mastiff's most trusted warriors, and following the Fire of Myrmidon he sent them out to ensure the Contingency survived, implying he placed great trust in each of them and faith in their abilities to lead. It is also implied there was a great deal of mutual respect between both the Chaptersires and Mastiff.
===Contingent Dutifuls===
Mastiff appeared to lead the warriors of various tribes and city-states that participated in the Fire of Myrmidon, presumably owing largely to his founding of the Contingency.
==Quotations==
*“You have seen what happens when nothing is done. What happens to everyone. There is no glory or heroics in what we do today, but if we don’t do it, you know what will happen. For hundreds to die to preserve tens of thousands is necessity. Think of your families. Of the agonizing fates awaiting everyone you know if we do not do this. Be swift. Let me see her head before we burn it. At my signal, the hunt is yours.”
*“Those who rape will be crossed, those who pillage will be burned, they who linger shall be banished, and clean swords are to be fallen upon. This is no raid. This is survival. Ash preserve us. Ash preserve the Contingency.”
