Neolandus Dhoru is the Seneschal of Castle Manticore and an important member of the Royal Court of Gwynne.
Neolandus has held his prestigious post for nearly thirty years. As a principal adviser to King Garik II; he is considered the "Man Behind the Crimson Throne," and one of the most powerful figures in the both city of Ashara and the the Kingdom of Gwynne. Long ago, Neolandus was a senior Captain in the Gwynnish army and a childhood friend of Lady Myranda Hagen, who would later marry King Garik.
When King Garrett died in the year 1218/6 and Garik ascended the Crimson Throne, Neolandus was named Seneschal; mostly, at the urging of the the newly-crowned Queen Myranda. A former soldier-turned-diplomat, Neolandus has long been well-liked and respected at Court for both his integrity and unfaltering sense of fairness. For the last thirty years Neolandus has whispered in King Garik's ear; offering sage advice, suggestions, and gentle dissuasion when necessary.
Among the common folk of Ashara, there are several rumors circulating about Neolandus. First; that he objected strongly against King Garik's second marriage to Queen Ileosa, but the King refused to listen, second; that he and Dr. Davalos; the Royal Physician, despise each other, and third; that as a result of these disagreements, Neolandus' influence has now been greatly diminished at Court.
At court, Neolandus still has several allies. He remains close friends with Marcus Ezrin; commander of the Sable Company.
