Keld Norre

Keld Norre is the Falassian Empire's current Minister of War.

Appearance
Keld is a middle-aged half-elf with long black hair and a prominent widow's peak. He normally wears silver armor and a red cloak, limiting his armor to a pauldron when a full set isn't socially appropriate.

Personality
Keld is generally known to be even-tempered and cool-headed. However, he has his "moments," such as his anger at Emperor Karseidon's funeral. In spite of this, he seems to have developed a fearsome reputation, intimidating some, such as Kain Thessos and Grinlief Dartson. He can also be quite boisterous at social functions. Keld is also reserved about the details of his most famous accomplishment, his defense of Twin Gods Pass. He's passionate about armor and its upkeep. He disdains formal attire otherwise and has been looking for ways around the restrictions on wearing armor to Falassian formal functions.

Background
While Keld makes a show of being from the Falassian Empire due to seats on the Falassian council being restricted to those born in the Empire, rumors circulate that he's from elsewhere. He's a cousin of Count Corvus from Port Valor, although the two appear not to be close. Keld served some years in the Falassian army and accrued a number of war stories. His most famous one occurred some time before the birth of Emperor Eurystheos XIV. During a skirmish caused by Villane's attempts to annex Falassian territory, Keld's unit was almost wiped out by Villane's forces. Keld was the sole survivor and managed to fend off the opposing army by himself. His victory was instrumental in causing Villane to surrender and led to Keld becoming known as the Demon of Twin Gods Pass. Partially on the strength of this reputation, Keld campaigned and was elected by the people to be the Falassian council's Minister of War, a position he held at the time of Emperor Karseidon II's assassination. He was visibly angry at Karseidon's funeral. In the early years of Eurystheos's reign, he pursued an expanisonist agenda alongside Chancellor Horus Fornathrius, pushing the Falassian Empire to annex Blackpool away from Seaton's control. While it involved a battle with Seaton, the initiative was successful.

Return to Falas
The party learned from Kain that Keld was one of the five people suspected of possibly being the mole in Falas's court and would be attending Karseidon's remembrance ceremony.
