The Captain

Dan Kelly designed Captain. The captain was once celebrated in the Imperial army for Szygmünd. During a visit by a powerful neighboring diplomat, the Emperor held a grand banquet to honor them and welcome them into the Empire. The Imperial guard watched over the event, but officers were invited to attend as guests and representatives of the Empire. As the evening progressed and drinks began flowing, Szygmünd got into an argument with his commanding officer over pie filling preferences. The argument escalated rapidly, becoming heated beyond what a dispute over pies should ever be, and ultimately ended with the commander unconscious, his face conforming to the shape of a pie tin. In a moment of clarity, Szygmünd realized what he had done and made a swift dash for the window. He picked up a chair and hurled it through the glass before leaping behind it and sprinting towards freedom as his own troops pursued him to arrest him for assaulting an officer and causing public disturbance at a political feast. With military imprisonment looming, Szygmünd changed his appearance, removed all identifying marks from his armor and weapons, and fled, taking up a new life as a mercenary, seeking adventure, riches, and most importantly, keeping himself far away from the capital and out of an Imperial prison.
