4th Commander, Sir Septimous
Sir Septimus leads inumerous legions of undead through the kingdoms, tirelessly patrolling the lands both day and night. He leads almost exclusively skeletons, preferring them over many other undead because they work just as well in daylight as in the dark. He leads anywhere between 50 to none at all, all depending on how long it is between visits back to the capital to get replacement troops, and if he has any specific plans for where he is going and what he is doing (sometimes he decides to go on solitary missions). He is usually seen riding his skeletal warhorse, who is believed to have been his in life. While he technically is also in charge of several other groups of undead, he leaves the management of these to his Deputy Commander, (Mr. Mage). He also typically lets (Mr. Mage) attend any political business in his stead.
When he wants more skeletons, he simply goes to the ruins of the old senate building and calls them up from a giant sinkhole. It is public knowledge that corpses are brought to the city and dumped into that sinkhole, but it is unknown just how many bodies are down there. Spies have discovered that in addition to the wagons full of bodies carried through the city, there are many more which are carried in secret.
Few realize that Sir Septimus was the Paladin Sir Cosmas Von Mattian of Daven before he was turned by (Mr. Mage). Gifted to him in life by Seldorius, his axe “Vaeror”, or “Resist”, has an inscription on the blades: “Shor byr shi sajael”, “Thaedys os paer”; “Will not be taken”, “Freedom or death”. Sir Septimus is completely unaware of his former loyalties, so despite (Mr. Mage)’s desire to keep it a secret who Sir Septimus used to be, the irony was for to potent to NOT let him keep the perpetually gleaming and easily identifiable axe. He also rides the skeleton of his old horse.
