Setep Mewtril

Setep Mewtril is a Maelstromyr in the Band of the Lion. Setep is a blonde leonin, the leader of the Band of the Lion. Bouts of impressive stoicism and sudden rage define the duality of Setep. He began as slave in Martyr's Market, he became a folk hero, but seeks to leave behind the ultimate legend. His dearest companion is his horse Maximus. Setep hits hard, often, intimidates his enemies, and valiantly commands his subordinates

## Appearances

### Appearance

Setep is a leonin, with a golden mane and fur. His face appears round and on the soft side, but his teeth and claws oppose this completely. He often wears leather armour and a cape, wielding polearms and his greatswords.

### Stadium

Setep first appeared in the Stadium arc, the people of Whetgreen eagerly awaited his scouting mission, investigating the tremors caused by Stadium. Setep was alarmed by the sights of the capital ablaze, but had to return to Whetgreen to warn the people he swore to protect. Returning there he met travellers, fellow Maelstromyr who would become the founding members of the Band of the Lion. Setep was unable to wake from the amnestic mist of Stadium until some time had passed, he joined the party on Stadium just before Fenfang was lost. He rallied them all together, and took the killing blow on Yoko Nox. During this time he became close with Flea, both encouraged and helped one another keep focus. When exiting Stadium, it was revealed that Setep and Maximus had been able to board Stadium by grapples and pulleys.

### Maiden Festival

Upon returning to Whetgreen, Samworthy chose a name that Setep would adopt for his mercenary band, the Band of the Lion. Afterwards, the party looked to Setep to formally lead, and he took them to Forlonde. In Forlonde Setep was unamused by the festivities, but spirited until a vendor hate-crimed Setep and he tore her face off. While everyone else ran away, Merut healed her, Alcain talked to the guards, and Setep was told he had done enough. He spent the rest of the night drinking and blacking out until he ran into Cad Vargale, Cabal Vargale, and Gundlin Gunderson. Setep offered the washed up veterans a place in the Band of the Lion and met with them and their peers the next morning. Setep had some trouble boarding his horse, but atleast bought himself a Dwarven Greatsword from Tartaryn Chainstoke. During the festival Alcain died, and Setep had worn his cape that fell being berated by a grieving Merut. The two fell out until leaving the cape, Alcain, and Forlonde behind.

### The Advent

Setep took the Band of the Lion to Forlonde where they met Relimund Gaque and began the process of becoming Martyrs. He chose a guildhall location in Rhondarshalar. After settling in, he and some band members went for drinks at the Clowder Minora, where he brawled with Elu. Setep was then magically commanded into a frozen position. He heard Sweetsong talking with Elu, warning them to keep the noise down. Afterwards, Garfellow introduced himself as Sweetsong's aid and insisted that Setep join the Claws of the Clowder as he was a trained cavalier, and the Clowder desperately needed more cavaliers. Setep refused. Setep killed the bone devil in a basement under Ohtwic, where he found a foldable boat named The Bitchy Devil. After returning fromt he mission, the band was ambushed by Yin N'Gith and Daerith Dog-Ears, who were paid to kill Setep by Sweetsong for refusing him. Setep was knocked unconscious and teleported to safety in Sylfshire by Flea. For a time Setep believed the Band of the Lion were all dead and resented Flea. He by chance ran into an assassin called Phoebe Griff, whom he hired to get revenge on Sweetsong. Setep visited Forlonde on the way back into the capital where he learned about Nycaloths and Rakshasa. When he returned to the capital, he found the band in tatters after the siege of Lion's Den. He lead a mission to burn down the Clowder Minora, meanwhile Sweetsong was temporarily taken out. Setep then negotiated with Jeanbeck Lance to acquire the, no longer thralled, Claws of the Clowder soldiers. Setep and the band ventured into the portal at Clowder Minora to kill the Nycaloths in their home plane and recover their captives, but found this impossible. They did meet Nyca the doorman, and Vzarro. Vzaaro, the leader of Vyizm Wvimas offered Setep a deal in return for the captives, to kill a Ki Rin, atop the tallest mountain in Dorun, one summoned by the Old Crusaders. Setep accepted. Relimund Gaque took Setep on a mission to kill a Peryton so he could finish his initiation, after which a ceremony was held in Setep's honour, naming him the Slave Knight Setep Mewtril, and formally recognising his Band of the Lion.
