Orsander Covalt

Orsander Covalt is the eldest son of Arcturion Covalt. He is the twin brother of Auri Covalt. Orsander is a high ranking member of the Westlight Expedition, a paramilitary in Lian. He is of half Lianese and half Westric descent. Orsander is a Metal Conduit. In the religion of the High Church, Orsander is believed to be the reincarnation of the Conqueror, making him a deified figure.
Orsander is publicly beloved. Outwardly, he is the perfect son. His skills as a conduit, warrior, and leader, have made him a national hero for both Lian and Lordamere. Orsander is loyal and dutiful to his father, and he is seemingly unquestioning of his ambitions and cruelty. However, he is secretly conflicted about his father, and considers supplanting him.
Orsander is morally complicated. He seeks to do the right thing, but he is prone to anger and selfishness. He is confident and egotistical, with a personality bordering on a god complex. He has a love for the people, and will do anything to help them, but he believes himself to be above them. Orsander's dual heritage makes it difficult for him to relate to others. He is caught between a utilitarian orthodoxy and an honorable code. Orsander is highly ambitious, even ruthless.
