Ector Brahms

The current Lord Regent of Phlan, Lord Ector Brahms began his service for Phlan decades ago as the Knight Commander of the Black Fist. When Lord Protector Anivar Daoran died and left no heirs, Lord Brahms seized the Cinnabar Throne for himself, ostensibly to prevent Phlan from falling into anarchy. He maintains his leadership role over the Black Fist, commanding them to maintain order and discipline in the streets.

An older, graying man, Lord Brahms is by most accounts a stubborn, honorable, coarse, and stoic man. For the most part, he remains behind the walls of Valjevo Castle; on the rare occasion where he himself ventures into town, he is seldom seen without his badge of office, an enchanted suit of black-enameled full plate armor, and the full-length crimson cape indicative of his position as the Lord Regent of the Cinnabar Throne.

Despite the Black Fist's reputation as a thoroughly corrupt and tyrannical organization, rumor has it that Lord Brahms deals with reports of bribery harshly. Supposedly, a guardsman seldom survives more than one verifiable complaint. Yet these stories are small comfort to the common people of Phlan, who cannot possibly hope to catch the ear of Lord Brahms himself.
