The First

No one knows the First's real name, the First is an alias he took while gathering his armies and few still remain alive from that time.
He is a highly charismatic leader who believes in the rule of law, he is hard but fair in his dealings.
In recent years he has become more moody and introspective, possibly due to his inability to father a child to whom he would leave the Free Isles. He believes he has been cursed possibly by the Priest Princes of Doralin or one of his other enemies.
His closest allies are Lord Kesryk, General Montella and Castellan Dalyor

He is seen here, in a painting by Thaddius Le'Strange, carrying "Daemon Blade'. Shaped like a bolt of lightning this blade was captured from a tanar'ri lord in battle. It is said to have several magical powers though the First has neither confirmed nor denied this.
