[h3]Strengths and Weaknesses[/h3]
[list]
Skills: Over a century of leadership and training with various weapons certainly does a lot for the Elgamann's military prowess. He's also open minded in his beliefs and prefers to promote his underlings based on ability and character instead of status. 
Weaknesses: Can't swim and his focus on neutrality in the interest of fighting the Blight may create his own enemies.

[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Kieran Dadithas was born after the rise of the Haltian Empire to a horselord family. As a teenager, he was sent east by his father in order for him to integrate himself within the developed area of the Empire and as a way to be familiar with eastern politics. In the East, Kieran was interested in the stories of the humans within the empire and read many books about the history of the Inburian Empire. The portion of the Blight was especially of great interest to him, which he believes another massive invasion by the Orcs could happen again, especially since the Blighted land is still there and only held off by the various armies. Politically, he's in the Reformist faction of the Empire, believing that the policies of Emperor Voron would only hasten the Empire's demise from within but went the way of military service instead of politics, placing much faith in Voron's eldest son in passing reforms within the empire. 

Kieran Dadithas found himself as the general of the largest military force in the Haltian Empire when he was appointed to lead the force at Grendell against the Blight. It was a job he took seriously and for the next century, drilled the soldiers and officers in Grendell almost daily, regardless of race and status. When civil war broke out within the empire, Kieran didn't send a detachment of the Grendell force to assist Voron II against Orrian. After all, it doesn't matter who becomes Emperor as long as the Blight is still there threatening the Empire's eastern border. Technically, Kieran pledges loyalty to Voron II as his Emperor, mainly due to the fact that Grendell is within the territories of the Eastern faction and of shared political sentiments for reforms. However, even Voron II understands Kieran's public declaration of neutrality in the conflict, that the general could not and would not spare men to fight and die for a throne when the Blight is already there and have already attacked many times. Of course, he has his preference of among the five factions. The Red Wyvern's force is especially brutal towards Elgafolks and he doubt that the Reds would be so kind to the Elgafolks in Grendell, he wouldn't mind the Reds being eliminated only so much that he fears that a Red victory would actually be detrimental to Grendell's military capability. Other factions, he believes, would have the threat of the Blight in their minds and would only ask for a token acknowledgement after their possible victories.
