Damas

Captain of the Heron Guard and Champion to Emperor Leitrim. -Damas Description, Glossary, Myth III Manual

Description
Damas served as Captain of the Imperial Heron Guard of Emperor Leitrim. He stood out among the Heron Guard for his use of the glaive, and preferring speed over protective armor. His skillful tactics, charming manners and handsome looks also made him popular to the daughters of many lords.

He first met Connacht the Wolf when Leitrim sent him and his men over to escort the barbarian back to Llancarfan and try to recruit him. At first, Damas thought of him as strange and wildly barbaric. During their trek through Talwhyn, the contingent were ambushed by the undead. After surviving the journey, the Heron Captain would pledge loyalty and friendship towards Connacht.
