Constantine

Constantine "The Eleri" is a mercenary captain and member of the Council of Shankuru. Originally from Elerus, his family sided with the pretender Cyrenicus in his revolt; subsequently, Constantine was exiled as a young man to the Great Steppe with little to his name. Working as a mercenary, Constantine proved a skillful captain and his fortunes quickly improved. The Emperor, who viewed the charismatic captain as a threat, dispatched assassins, who, although failing to kill Constantine, convinced the captain to head south, where he was less a conspicuous reminder of the failed revolt.
