Zeeke
Zeeke is a new member of the Morenar and the son of the captain of the city guard of Vansreik.1
Ambition
Zeeke always wanted to take his father's place as head of the city guard, a well-paid post that controls the goods coming into the city. Yet he never did as well in the militia as he wished; compared with most other cadets he was weak and egotistical.2
When the chance came he joined the Morenar without a second thought, sure that membership meant power and would carry him to the top of the ladder in the city.2
Zeeke usually takes missions within the city after his day shift.2
In battle
Zeeke fights on the front line, holding enemies at bay while trying to flank them. He is trained with the longsword and prefers to wield it one-handed so that he can stay behind his shield, and he takes up a crossbow when ranged support is needed. He understands that his role is to keep the enemy's front line away from his allies who fight at range. His training covers only humanoid threats, however, and faced with monsters or magic users it may fail him and set off his urge to fight or flee.2
