Camron Marz

“Aye.' It's a good word, I think. More a whole attitude than a word, really. With lots of meaning in it, too. A bit of 'yes' and a bit of 'well, fuck' and maybe some 'we're all in this mess together'. So, a word to sum up the Arendurians.” 
-Camron Marz
== History ==
A soldier and hero from Arendur's earliest days, Camron Marz fought during the city's darkest hours, when its people needed him most. He joined the army in campaigns against elementals and the undead, and led his men when they had no leader. After the the loss in the Arendur-Ragnarok War, Tolumvire promoted him to General of the Arendurian Army, entrusting him with the transition to peacetime. He had been unanimously recommended by his men, who considered him the greatest soldier among their ranks. Camron Marz presided over the Arendurian Army during a turbulent time. Morale was low due to the defeat, and rearmament was forbidden by Bolgar of Ragnarok, despite the many threats to Arendur. Nationalist sentiment was on the rise, with many in the army thinking that had they held the reigns of power, they would have won the war. Nonetheless, General Marz managed to maintain order and discipline, and was one of the first to pledge obedience to Tolumvire upon his return from exile. He remained firmly loyal until the end, unquestioningly enforcing Tolumvire's crackdown against internal dissent, and quashing a potential coup hatched between a number of junior officers. Camron Marz would survive the Demon Wars, but would perish alongside the rest of the Arendurian Army when Lord Perduke destroyed the city of Oranor. 
== Personality ==
A modest and unassuming man, Camron Marz was considered poised and graceful. He was plainly a combat veteran, and a steadfast and inspiring presence. He took his duties seriously, and showed no signs of the arrogance and naked ambition that plagued the officer corps in the Arendurian Army. One of the first Arendurians, and a native of the Final Empire, he was firmly loyal to Tolumvire and his ideals. This loyalty veered dangerous into loyalty to the man himself. When Tolumvrie needed a general to arrest dissidents without due process, General Marz was willing to obey orders without objection. When the junior officers considered a coup against Tolumvire following the surrender to Ragnarok - believing him either possessed or mind-controlled - it was General Marz who informed Tolumvire, and he who stamped out the coup at Tolumvire's command. Camron Marz was committed to Arendur, right or wrong, and he had decided that his country was embodied in the person of Tolumvire. It is likely that he never even considered otherwise.
