History
In the years before the founding of the Grand Duchy, Hyraksos was a fighting captain of the Thyatian navy and, later, a mercenary officer. In that role, he became a friend of and teacher to the young Stefan Karameikos. When Duke Stefan came to this country, Hyraksos was only too happy to follow and help the young Duke build his military. It was Hyraksos who decided upon the critical sites for the building of Karameikan military fortresses and Hyraksos who set up the Karameikan navy. He was the guiding force behind the Karameikan military from the first and functioned informally as the Minister of War before that ministry was made official 25 years ago. Today, Hyraksos is the direct superior to the divisional commanders of the Karameikan Militia, Elvenguard, Ducal Guard, and Guard Phorsis (Specularum City Guard), and to the captains of the Karameikan Navy. Hyraksos’ wife of 20 years is Katarina, a famous Traladaran singer and entertainer, now retired
Personality
Hyraksos is a gruff, outgoing, outspoken man with no diplomatic ability but substantial military skill. He doesn’t care about a person’s financial or ethnic background but is nasty and intolerant toward incompetence and cowardice. He has been substantially aided in the founding of the Karameikan Navy by Baron Philip Vorloi and is a fast friend of the Baron and his family.
Appearance
Hyraksos is about 60 but in good condition. He of average height and is rather thick in the middle. His black hair is heavily grayed; his eyes are blue; his hair, mustache and beard are usually disarrayed. When away from his wife or left to his own devices, he doesn’t think about clothes and often appears in mismatched garments and clothing unsuited to the current affair. (When his wife or friends can help him, though, he appears in clothing suited to the occasion.)

GM Section
DMing Notes: Hyraksos is not likely to interact with the characters until they are at Name level and mingling with Karameikos society. If a character looks like a promising leader, Hyraksos will be inclined to try to commission him into the army or navy, perhaps (if he’s Lawful and of high Wisdom and Intelligence) grooming him as a replacement for Hyraksos.
