Marshal Oliver Arlote

Twenty-two year old son of Vavrin Arlote and cousin to the King. Oliver has been groomed for his current position most of his life. Early on, his father did try to direct him to follow in his own footsteps and join the priesthood, but once he understood his son's absolute lack of interest in that life, compared to his fascination with and talent for ranging, he was quick to have him tutored by Lote's greatest rangers and soldiers. Though in truth, Oliver owes his becoming marshal at such a young age to the death of so many of Lote's best military leaders alongside their count, in addition to blatant nepotism, few criticisms can be made of his skill as a ranger and his dedication to directing what remains of Lote's forces. Still, many older members of Lotes venerated ranger order doubt the young marshals abilities, for his age if nothing else, and all who look for it can feel a pressure building up under him, waiting for some mistake to crack his authority so that it may erupt.

Oliver was born human, and thus is not in line for Lote's throne. If he feels any inadequacy due to not inheriting the celestial traits of most of his family, he has never shown it. Oliver and Veselin grew up together and, though cousins, are as close as any brothers.
