About

Ser Marcus Redholt is a name etched into the annals of Directionland’s history—not by bloodline, but by duty. Born in Ironwood and raised through the military ranks, Marcus now serves as the Commander of the Knights of the Four Lions, the oldest and most honored military order in the Empire. Founded in the age of Saint Stylinson, the order was established to defend the first crowned king—and has guarded the throne ever since.

For much of his life, Marcus served as the Emperor’s adjutant, a position of profound trust. When Emperor Alexander XVII disappeared during the Crowley crisis, Marcus did not retreat—he stepped forward, taking on the monumental task of guiding the nation through its darkest hour. He now leads the Regency Council, which governs in the name of the ailing Prince Ethian.

Though rarely seen outside the palace, Marcus remains a commanding figure. He is not known for speeches or grand gestures, but for unwavering discipline and an unshakable sense of purpose. His decisions are often quiet—and final.

The Knights of the Four Lions

Rumors

Some say Ser Marcus knows more than he lets on about the Emperor’s disappearance. Others believe he carries with him the last sealed orders of Alexander XVII, to be opened only in the event of the Empire’s final hour.
