Canus

==Grand-Vizier to Argus V==
Little is known of Canus, the Vizier to the King of Ardadain, save that he has served more than seven generations of Kings, giving wise and productive advice. In truth, he is centuries old, having walked Gaiana since the fourth age. Along with his brother, Galen the Great, he was one of the founding members of the Anna Sila. Canus has kept most of his identity secret, save for the royal family. Unlike Galen, Canus preferred to take a more observant role, advising and suggesting, rather than taking direct action. That was the main reason he advises the King, to have a less hands-on role in the affairs of mankind. This has changed since his brother died, however, and he has recently begun to take a more direct approach, offering assistance to the Wraith- slayers. 
Canus resembles an elderly man, appearing more infirmed than he actually he is. He has a long grey beard, and leans heavily on his staff. In truth, he is agile and his magic and combat are unrivalled. Around court he plays the role of a wise old man, cranky and slightly senile, but gentle to children. The youngest Princess, Elora, is always spending time in his company and listening to his stories, and she calls him 'gramps'. The King finds his advise invaluable, though he rarely interferes in domestic affairs. 
There is not enough space here to detail Canus's long past and deeds; needless to say, he has been an influential figure throughout the entire fifth age. His progeny is strong- his brother Galen the Great helped bring along the downfall of the Death Queen . And his son, Borath (sired upon Kalla Palesbane), is currently raising the heir to the Rhutalathian throne.
