Wyrm Lords Council

The Wyrm Lords Council is both the close guard of the Obsidian Wyrms' Grand Wyrm and an advisory council that debates with their leader on all forms of matters of relevance. The council was founded following the secret meeting between the Dammerüng sisters in the depths of the Solace of Wisdom as one of the many reforms that began reshaping the Chapter into its current itteration. The Council has since then been a cornerstone of the decisions the Chapter takes and have also served as honored emissaries, being allowed to meet other Chapter Masters and other leaders in the Grand Wyrm's stead. Wyrm Lords have been selected from the most revered of the senior staff of the Chapter, usually Captains, and have the authority to commandeer any single company, or in most dire a Battalion, so long as their directives do not directly contradict those of the ruling Grand Wyrm. Another important factor in the selection of Wyrm Lords is a variety of visions. While the candidates' personalities need not conform to a specific pattern as was the case for the Mournival's four humors' system, diversity is still sought for, both in attitudes and in prefered methods of combat or strategic specialities.

Besides their abilities with leadership and diplomacy, the Wyrm Lords are also peerless combattants within the Chapter, all heroes among heroes in their own rights and veterans of a great many centuries. Each Wyrm Lord is a master in a specific tactical niche and at a specific combat style. As the council always numbers 6 members - save for transition periods when one of them falls in battle - this gathering of heavily armed specialists is a force to be reckonned with on the battlefield and that one would do best not to under-estimate. The Wyrm Lords' Tartaros armors may set for the Pulse Riders' method of short-burst teleportation.

He used to be a Lordknight and the Captain of the 2nd Company before being welcomed into the Council and his ability with blades extends from  massive relic blades to the dual-wielding of standard-sized power swords as well as the more classical sword and storm shield combination.
