Garlin Torrd

Garlin Torrd (1700- ?) was a knight of the Order of the Black Dragon who was degraded in absentia in reaction to a scandalous relationship with Princess Imperial Alexandria of the Empire of Trynser. 
In 1726, when the princess was fifteen, Garlin was a knight serving as a guard in the Imperial Palace. Alexandria's education was sorely lacking in matters of love-making and she was left helplessly naïve. Sir Garlin noticed and seduced the princess, eventually using her to extract valuable gifts and favors. Sir Garlin was indiscreet about his conquest, leading to a scandal that the Imperial Court could not suppress. Eventually, in early 1727, Lady Mairam Linteris, one of the princess' ladies-in-waiting, took it upon herself to prove Sir Garlin's devotion to the princess by seducing him. This was easily done, proved that he was a cad. Sir Garlin knew that the game was up, and by methods still not clear, made his escape from the palace. 
In the weeks that followed, Sir Garlin was degraded from his knighthood in the Order of the Black Dragon and declared a fugitive criminal. Many other knights swore dire vengeance upon him.
As of 1742, there existed no current trace of the cad that either powerful arcane or divine magic could find, not even a corpse. This indicated that either he was annihilated or protected by something very powerful. At any rate, there remained a large reward for him, and the Black Dragon knights considered apprehending him to be unfinished business.
