Captain Geth

Captain Geth came from a poor peasant family and was orphaned at 12. He joined the military as a private, and by the age of 22, through continued displays of courage and intelligent leadership, had risen to the rank of sergeant. Gaining further experience and proving his worth in several of the kingdom’s wars with its neighbors, Geth was promoted to lieutenant at 26 and to captain at 30. He was always beloved by the men who served under him, but always despised by his peers and superiors in the officer corps, except for the handful of powerful generals and colonels who saw his potential.

Two years ago (two years after becoming captain) his career was ruined by a military blunder for which he was scapegoated. It became too politically problematic for the generals who liked him to go on defending him after that, so he was discredited and reassigned to be in charge of a barracks in Drum, the capital of one of the outer provinces. That’s where Captain Geth met Apisney, an elf ranger who longs to return to the wilds, but has found himself working as an “underdark” consultant in the city.
