Gary Gyravan

Gary Gyravan, chiefly referred to as "Lord Gyravan" or "Gyravan the Lame", is the ex-leader of Ralkeis, a prominent Netheran, and is a wanted criminal by multiple nations, including his former homeland Ralkeis and Akarv. Gyravan is considered chiefly responsible for the liberation of Ralkeis from Krolesk in the 45 AE for his connection to the Nether and his ability to summon an army of Blaze to defend Ralkeis' independence.
In year sixty-eight, a coup led by then Vizier John Vyros and the Magma Walkers, which Gyravan had formed, succeeded in forcing Gyravan to flee the nation. In the process, however, his Lirun ally Lao killed her master Ian Anabal, and the two fled to the open ocean in Anabal's former, mobile, home.
Several years later, it was revealed that Gyravan was recruited by the Void Devourer to create chaos when the Nether War began, and sent his forces and Lao into Akarv, where they temporarily succeeded in taking hostage their capitals hospital. Gyravan himself was not a part of this attack, and while Lao was captured, Gyravan himself was not discovered, despite his involvement being known. To modern times, his location is unknown.
Gyravan was born with clubfoot, earning him his name.
== Beliefs and Personality ==
Gyravan is not charismatic, but does have a sense of honor that originally endeared him to a large number of the Ralkish. Nowadays, only those of his home island, the capital Orumath, remember him at all fondly.
Gyravan has never been vocally for or against the Cascade faith, which allowed him to manage Berkict and Chothral without too much trouble (in contrast with Vyros, who has greatly antagonized followers of the Cascade faith).
Gyravan worked alongside the Void Devourer.
== Powers and Skills ==
Gyravan is quite old, and has lost a large amount of weight. Due to a lack of diverse nutritional choices over the years spent in hiding, Gyravan has developed Cane Sickness, an increasingly common type of of glucose resistance. His clubfoot gives him poor balance and makes him move slowly.
That said, Gyravan is still dangerous. He is a skilled negotiator, and has an unknown number of favors to call in with Nether Spirits he has spoken with. Gyravan has a large amount of potential power to bear when possessed, but does not engage in the Orbit, so he's also quite susceptible to losing control under such circumstances.
Gyravan is known to be a fast climber, and though his age has made him weaker, he is both surprisingly tough and surprisingly quick with a sword.
