Aspida

Aspida, (pronouced /ɑːspiːdɑː/) was the well respected polemarch of the Order of the Vallotis, however he tragically died at the end of the Heliotym civil war and with his death the civil war was ended with the Faen reigning victorious and disbanding the Vallotis, executing it's higher ups and exiling the rest, including the paladin Leoven. His death shocked the entire continent as he was widely known to be one of the most powerful paladins in history and arguably the most powerful alive at the time. He was an incredibly well respected leader of the order and was close with one of the lower ranks Lycas.
Unbeknownst though, his allegiances did not lie with Apollo or the city of Dexicos, he was a part of a cult called The Twelve who had dedicated themselves to the worship and re-emergence of the Titan Hyperion. So dedicated to this he was willing to die having faith in the prophecy of his return and their victory. He was correct and was ressurected upon the Grey Flood, but found himself quite a distance from Heliotym with no way of travelling quickly without being arrested and with no way to discreetly contacting his cult or it's status. Because of this he is also unaware of the importance of Leoven.
The first time he appears he confronts Soúro basically asserting the Faen as the villains of this conflict and showing he is capable enough of competing with Soúro. He then rode away flanked by a number of the Vallotis. The party later meet the former Polemarch leading a camp of the Vallotis with absolute authority unaware that the people entering know of his betrayal. He greets Lycas warmly (upsetting him greatly) and talks with Leoven, he defeats all her attempts at accusations and assuages her fears by swearing on the River Styx not to intentionally harm her. With this seemingly massive mistake on Aspida's half of this the party are fine with him continuing. They later see him at the ritual to bring back Hyperion and bestow him to the body of Soúro, there when the ritual is complete he is knocked unconscious.
In the aftermath of the battle his body was recovered and he was imprisoned awaiting public execution. Leoven had a conversation with him in the prison where he seemed rather unperturbed by his situation to which Leoven was incredibly suspicious. Later having not attended the execution, the party found out that something had happened and the person who had been at the stage hadn't been Aspida, but most likely a shapeshifter called Deacon, who had since escaped the scene. The whereabouts and status of Aspida are currently unknown.
