Callias

“A civilization forever within easy reach of a blade had little to boast about.”
-Callias
== History ==
Previously the Colonel of the Night Crows, Callias was considered a strategist capable of operating deep behind enemy lines. His troops were well-trained for nighttime raids and reconnaissance, and could survive off the land for years at a time. 
== Personality ==
A disciplined and resourceful man, Callias expects total loyalty from his troops, and does not suffer fools lightly. He lacks charisma, prefering to lead by example. He is often frustrated by troops who question him or do not meet his expectations. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
Upon the death of Commander Volkan at the hands the dragons of Aurum, Callias is appointed by Padishah Rick to lead the war front against the Final Empire. He attempts to overhaul the Aglazderan strategy, believing it to be too static and reliant on air support. He faces pushback from the troops, and circumstances have already become too entrenched for him to change much. The sack of Al Mandera stripped him of manpower and resources, leaving him toothless. He leads the Janissaries against the Hobgoblins of Darguzze, where he earns a worthy victory. After the fall of Padishah Rick, the Janissaries split into three factions; those who recognize Finley MacClellan as Padishah, those who desert, and those who recognize Callias as their highest authority. Callias takes those Janissaries who are loyal to him, and establishes himself as a neutral warlord, determined to eek out a life for himself and his men. 
== After the War ==
Decades later, the Bouldercloaks, commanded by Ayondra, would be hired by Emperor Kuldeep of Shangare to defeat the surviving Janissaries, kill Callias, and bring his head back to Rasure. An old man by now, with the majority of his troops being elderly veterans, Callias fought well and fought hard, but succumbed. Some of his men joined the Bouldercloaks after his defeat.
