Ivan Beowulf

Ivan Beowulf is member of the council of Enthas, He is in charge of their military movements and decisions. He is both a hopeful man but a pragmatic leader. He does want the best for Enthas but he has little care for the people outside of Enthas and he is willing accept losses if he feels they are needed.

Personality
He is a patriotic man who loves his country and the people who live in it. He wishes to make Enthas a better place. And he has high hopes for it. But he is not naive and in fact is quite pragmatic, he will step on the toes of others for the greater good. He belongs to evil alignment due to the fact that he will actively hurt people and conquer without question for his country.

Appearance
He is an older man with a winkled pale face and graying black hair. He is an average height and a sturdy build. He is most often wearing his uniform which includes polished armor with a sun symbol on his chest piece. He has a cape with fur trimmings. There is a sword at his side at almost all times.

History
He came from a long line of military commanders and worked under his father, the prior military commander. As such he rose through the ranks faster than he should have.

When he was 22 he met Arathorn Beowulf, his future husband. They got along well and worked together even better. They became brothers in arms and Ivan requested to bring Arathorn with him if he was stationed elsewhere. His request was granted.

It took two years for them to realize that they were in love with eachother, Ivan was hesitant to begin courting Arathorn due to the power imbalance, but Arathorn made the first move and they both knew they could work on an even playing field even if Ivan out ranked him.

Four years later while he and Arathorn were traveling they came across a tiefling urchin named Ellington. They liked the kid and the kid quickly bonded with them and so they ended up adopting them. Ellington really enjoyed all the traveling and loved to draw the new scenery around them.

As of the past three years he's been planning for a war between Enthas and Acerbus. He could see it in the winds and wanted to be prepared. Recently as part of that he sent Arathorn to The Wildlands to talk with the tribe leaders about their support. It's been a month and they are just starting to get reports all of the tribe leaders are dead.
