Garrius Septim

The ancient Tribune, Garrius Septim, was one of the most famous and grizzled of Stromgarde's veterans. Having led incursions against the Hesperian city states, such as Andriano, in his youth, and having led campaigns against the Hinterland trolls, Garrius Septim had practical experience to affirm his reputation.
As a young soldier, he was part of a force that slew a detachment of Witherbark trolls. Amongst the ruins of their camp he found the shaman Onuava, who had been blinded for refusing her tribe's warmongering ways. When she was scheduled to be executed, Garrius secretly rescued her and found a secret home for her in the Highlands. He then returned to serve Stromgarde once more.
A friend of Eralas Trollbane, he supported his friend and king without a second thought. Septim led his forces past the Thoradin Wall to defend Stromgarde when Arlith Brightmore brought news that the Hesperian Alliance was mobilizing. Septim met with General Tiberius Leo of Hesperia, and war did not break out when Eralas Trollbane ordered Stromgarde to be a neutral state in the Great War.
When Eralas abdicated, Dorath Trollbane became king and declared war on Hesperia. Tribune Septim swiftly took Cattana and Tornio and subsequently Seashire. His forces prepared to advance over the river that divided Hesperia to invade its heartland, but Tiberius Leo and Dictator Javali drove back his forces. Meanwhile, Mallick Vitalian carried out a coup in the capital in which Dorath Trollbane was killed.
With his chain of command broken and Seashire and Cattana reclaimed by the Hesperians, Tribune Septim attempted to negotiate the release of Anderas and peace with Tiberius Leo. However, this gesture proved fruitless when Javali decided to take the war to Stromgarde. His armies were crushed, and Septim disappeared.
He found his old friend Onuava once more and decided to live out the rest of his days with her. Together they saved the life of Brutus Armaggon. Septim sent Brutus off to Strom's Hand with two packages to deliver. One was his Tribunal Blade, to be delivered to his grandchildren. The other was a package containing maps, notes and plans on the Arathi Highlands and the cities of Stromgarde, to be delivered to Eldengar Trollbane to assist him in defeating Vitalian's usurper regime.
