Garrus Ketanthius, the Boy King of Celdin

Garrus is the youngest monarch in all of recorded history of the seven kingdoms, having been crowned at the tender age of 12. Having virtually no grasp of what it takes to bear the crown almost all of the major decisions are influenced by his two advisors, Ventus Mantrake and Talasa Forenger. Despite his lack of knowledge about economy and politics, Garrus is a well-beloved figure of importance in Celdin, known for his bright smile and golden heart. Garrus likes to believe that his people are happy under his rule and strives so that Celdin is a shining example of prosperity and order. However, underneath this happy facade a world of deceit and espionage festers worse than Mortus's swamps. A guild of thieves known as the Masked Legion has their hands in everything, the guard included. They are the true rulers of this prosperous kingdom and are the puppeteers of the nobelmen and merchant's guild. As a result, many people who are indebted to the Legion are either killed or thrown into the massive slums that grow within the walls of Oinmoor and other well-off cities.
