Watch Sergeant Varis Gondriu

Sergeant Varis Gondriu of the Westcrown City Watch is a fighter of no small repute and a career member of the Watch. He has been in various positions with the Watch for 16 years, including the last six as a sergeant.

He is genially corrupt, like most of the Watch, and disdains the politics of senior Watch leaders as they jockey for position and favor amongst the noble Houses. His subordinates consider him a fair if unforgiving superior, and he allows them to share in whatever graft he may obtain, which they enjoy. He has, like most of the City Watch, a hatred for Hellknights, whom he considers posturing bullies and pitiful fighters.

The adventuring party encountered Gondriu after being questioned by Constable Marat. Gondriu solicited from the party a 10 gp bribe, then informed them of the date and time that the Order of the Rack was to take possession of Arael and transport him to Citadel Rivas. The information proved to be good and the party later went on to retrieve Arael from the Hellknights.
