Commander Saarus is the third son of General Tordner, and one of Commander Lynerius' younger brothers. He commands the 9th Regiment.

 Personality 

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

Serious and stoic, though not quite to the level of his elder brother. Among his siblings, Saarus takes the most after their father.

Similarly to his patriarch, Saarus is a known womanizer - though perhaps erroneously so. Saarus is known for being seen with a new woman every few weeks, but he commits to exclusive and romantic relationships with them. They just don't work out, despite his efforts to develop a long term relationship. Stormbringer stoicism proves ill-suited for romance. He is also arguably naive, as he engages with women more interested in his status than himself.

History

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

Saarus was the first child born to Tordner outside his union to Levina; an arrangement pushed by then-Matriarch Lyneris due to concerns raised over Styrmer's mental capacity. This fundemental difference in his immediate family was the first thing he remembered of his life; that he was different. Though raised by Levina, he knew she was not his mother. She did not treat him the same as she did his older half-siblings, and neither did Lynerius and Tordena treat him with the same love they did Styrmer. As such, Saarus maintained a certain distance.

His full sister, Lynis, was born a year after him, but they did not develop an especially close bond. Lynis seemed content with solitude and distant relationships, while Saarus only desired what he could not have.

During his flight years, Saarus was bullied by other leading clan children for his half dark markings, attributing to him the nickname 'half-blood Stormbringer'.

Like the rest of his family, Saarus enlisted in the Army after his Temple education, and has remained in this profession since.
