   I'm going to have to wait until the council is over,if I'm to bring in Zhan. Given that fact that he's a wanted man,it might not be a good idea for him to show up.

   Well, not so much that as a linchpin character, kind of like Sternflucht in Coldforged (though he won't be your commander, just a member at the group campfire)

    Original caste: Caste-warrior (posing as caste-beggar)
    Occupation: Foot-soldier
    Age: 29
    Real name: Llayarsh tl Maitan
    
    Background:
    Llayarsh tl Maitan is a man filled with self-loathing. It is possible that no other person hates themself as much as Llayarsh tl Maitan, who for 10 years has not slept more than 5 hours in a week, who frequently balls his right hand into a fist so tightly that his nails make bloody marks in his palm, who has failed at every attempt at suicide only because he considers himself too cowardly to truly do the deed.
    In other words, Llayarsh tl Maitan is a broken man, a ghost among ghosts, who wanders in a daze through the streets of Biaxif. In the districts which he frequents there are many who know him simply as Maitan ateikaau, "sad Maitan", and there are many who wish only to comfort him and who consider themselves his friends, but Llayarsh tl Maitan does not understand any of this; he sees their sympathies as masked jeers, and thinks that his friends hate him and wish he would simply leave. He can often be seen sitting, nearly sprawled, in the caste-menial places, staring blankly into space, and responding vaguely and quietly to the words and questions of passers-by. He never laughs, rarely smiles, and then only swiftly, as if his sorrow seeps back in as quickly as a smile escapes. He sometimes stares at the palm of his right hand, at the red scars which his nails have carved into it. He is kind and polite, and unfailingly aware of caste. He never has a harsh word for anyone. He is always extremely kind to animals, and many street dogs and stray house-serpents know him as a fine way to get a meal. At times, though the climate in Biaxif be blazing hot (as is its wont), Maitan can be seen shaking and shivering intensely, and sometimes clutching his arms about him, as if to be warm.
    Maitan rises every morning and attends an extra three hours of morning temple, the extra three hours mandatory only to priests, because he cannot sleep more than two hours a night. He then generally goes to the House of Charity where he recieves a loaf of bread from the priests there, many of whom deeply care for him, and wish he would stay sometimes and talk of what it is that gnaws at him so deeply.
    One day, four months ago, Maitan did not come to morning temple early, and after prayers, he did not arrive at the House of Charity, nor did he go to the Street of Rythms where he usually sits and stares into space. Instead, he went northward up the Way of the Aspects until he came to the tall pillar where the emissary of the armies awaited. And there, after washing his face in a public fountain, he went to the levy-officer, and in noble Jahi-calligraphy, signed his name to the list. Very soon afterward, he bid adieu to all those he had known, saying that he was "going to the north to die".
    [OOC: Yes, I am leaving very much unknown about the character, but it suits my purposes]
    
    Description:
    Llayarsh tl Maitan is unusually tall for a caste-beggar, and despite being somewhat thin in appearance, is clearly, or once was, a fit man, though not incredibly muscular. He has the triangular face and full lips of a southerner (though those lips are habitually very chapped and dry), and hazel eyes which are at turns blank and staring or deeply, deeply sad. His hair is unusual in that it has a slight reddish tinge to it's mellow brown, and is less curly than that of most Mandutari. He typically wears a knee-length tunic of dull blue-grey, and battered reed sandals. On his right wrist he wears a bracelet of green malachite prayer-beads, which are always immaculate and clean despite the rest of his appearance. Though he has donned the proper military tunic since he started his service, he simply wears it over his general garb.

    Well, since it has been a while since Kostaan's daughter was killed, it might be possible that you could be there in disguise, possibly among the caste-menials.
    But it's up to you.

    Well, I'd love to post Po's intro - 'tis all written up and everything - but for some reason the topic isn't letting me. Says it's open only to those granted access or something along those lines...
