Llewellyn Griffith

High Protector Llewellyn Griffith is the current and first leader of the Commonwealth of Lorenthal. Prior to the Lorenthalian Civil War, he was a decorated and beloved war hero who achieved the rank of Marshal for exceptional leadership in battles against the Kingdom of Almeron. Bearing much empathy for the lower classes, the famine and disease caused by the failures of King Aderyn VIII's reign led him to denounce the monarchy entirely. Listening to the clamor of the people demanding new leadership, he quickly became the figurehead of the movement and was one of the main reasons the rebellion managed to stay together, let alone find victory. Griffith was at the head of the rebel army during every single victory throughout the war, and though he was despised by the royalists he often tried to prevent the excess rape and looting of the angered populace in victory.

Since becoming High Protector, he has done what he can to rule fairly over the Commonwealth while also establishing a stable government. The threat of outside intervention and the surge of popularity for Lorenthalian traditionalists makes his work difficult, though he is determined that the revolution not be for nothing. He is ever aware that the King's sister, Cerys, awaits in the New Lands, biding her time and preparing to one day retake her throne.
