Captain Lamisten is the Guard Captain no-one wants to run astray of. He refuses compromise, flaunts his authority against even the Nobles who would resist the laws, and will ruthlessly punish lawbreakers. He proudly wears his black-and-white armour, given to him as a veteran of a war that ended twenty years ago, and deliberately shows the limp from a thug that broke his knee a decade earlier. He was healed, and arrested the thug within the week. Physical: Captain Burt Lamisten is a hardline, confrontative Captain in the city Guard. He is gruff, protective of his own staff, and constantly seems angry about a great many things. He wears his white beard bushy, and is pushing sixty, but not letting it slow him down. He ignores attempts at humour, subtlety, and irreverence, crashing through most social situations like a wrecking ball. His only perceptible weakness is his family- his wife, a talented singer, and two teenaged daughters. It is well known in the criminal underworld that any action relating to his family is truly not worth the trouble which he would visit on anyone even tangentially related to the matter. Complications/Hooks: * The PCs run afoul of the Guard while dealing with other enemies, and the matter is escalated to Captain Lamisten to deal with. While he will not be forgiving, he will consider their story, and may accompany them with a squad of guards, ready to aid them or execute them, as needed. * The Captain is struggling against some sort of conspiracy, and is being frustrated with interference by members of the City Council. In desperation, he turns to hiring the PCs, who can avoid the politics. * The Captain has made a move against a powerful lord in the criminal world, and they have responded against his family. The Captain implores the PCs to safeguard them against whatever assassins are sent for his family, while he defends his precinct. His family are no shrinking violets, and several of them would rather take the fight to their enemies. Statistics: Captain Lamisten is a simple man with fine physical characteristics despite his advancing age, and retains his combat effectiveness (6th-level Fighter). His strengths are in endurance and durability, and he has survived through injuries which had crippled some of his contemporaries.
