Harold Marthas
Male, 51, Aretan-born.
Parents, deceased.
No living family.
A man that'd make any mage nervous.
Harold has spent a lifetime ferreting out the dangerous elements of society; those who practice magic, and those complicit in their activities. Though he has spent the last eight years in the village of Udny Mill, he spent much of his professional career employed as a royal inquisitor for Aretan magistrates. Although now semi-retired, he has not lost any of his fervour for bringing his judgement upon the evil and the corrupt, and still carries some authority for enacting the sovereign will of the Aretan state.
When he worked for the military he had many duties but now that he has more time to enjoy life, he finds that he only really truly finds peace in punishing magic users. This has led to a spike in mage executions, at least as far as his personal tally goes.
A more troubling development of late is that some of those who met their demise at the tail-end of a Marthas trial were simply detractors; those who disagreed with his work, or were critical of his methods. A recent scandal left his reputation hanging from a thread. The man once known as Mage-Scourge now finds himself at a crossroads, a point at which he must restore his name, or face being discredited. A consequence of which could mean execution.
