Solomon Regis
Solomon Regis, The Absalon of Valenntenia, Leader of The Guardians of The Rune, The Ancient's oldest and wisest son. The Children of The Rune are comprised of many men and women of great power and influence, wielders of power older than civilization itself. None, however, are more powerful or important than the Absalon himself. It is he that guards the power of Life and Death, who maintains the last bastion of the Gods themselves, watching over the world they created from atop the great Valenntenia Tower.
Appearance
Solomon is a broad shouldered, tall and imposing figure despite his advancing age. While time has begun to weather his features, the piercing gaze as well as the fire behind it still strikes awe and respect into those who serve him. Regis wears white robes that match his long silver hair and thick beard, and wears the Symbol of The Absalon around his neck on a golden medallion.
Skills and Abilities
In his youth, Solomon was well trained with many weapons, and held the Stone of Passion. This Stone granted him magical abilities far beyond the norm. Now in his later years, Solomon's body is somewhat frailer, and his ability to effectively use the long polearms he once favored has deteriorated slightly. Even so, he is no pushover in battle, easily able to overcome the untrained or overconfident.
While age may have taken his physical prowess from him to an extent, his mastery of the arcane did not suffer the same fate. Solomon is adept with many forms of magic, both offensive and defensive. Use of the Stone of Life and Death is forbidden, but one could argue such use is unnecessary given the magical powerhouse that is Solomon Regis.

Personality
Solomon is famously stubborn, refusing to stand down to anyone when he feels he is in the right. Despite his bullheadedness, he is fair and kind to the people that he leads. Years of service have left him with a keen tactical mind and a strong sense of duty, and he expects the best from the Guardians and the Vanguard.
Biography & Lore
Acting as a leader to those of Ancient blood, Solomon has been serving the city of Valenntenia since the age of only fourteen years old, first as the youngest ever to enlist in the Vanguard, before being chosen as a Guardian of The Rune at twenty. Originally the Guardian of the Passion Stone, he furthered his reputation by spearheading the successful effort to locate the Stone of Dreams, long thought lost after the demise of it's protector on the distant island of Malakath.
It was during this time in Malakath that he met his eventual wife, Aurabella. Attracted to the infectiously passionate warrior from a mysterious land abroad, They wed in a great city of Dragons, before making the long journey back to the mainland together. Unfortunately, Aurabella found herself vulnerable to the maladies and diseases of her new foreign home and was ill and bedridden for most of the marriage. She blessed Solomon with one son, Villam, before passing from complications surrounding the birth.
It was the only defeat that Regis could not escape. It wounded him, but he did not allow it to break his spirit.
Eventually Solomon's incomparable force of will and decades of service eventually made him an obvious choice for Absalon, once the previous passed of natural causes. Now sixty-two and showing no signs of slowing down, Solomon has since passed the Passion Stone down to his only son Villam, who also has made a name for himself as an exceptional Guardian. Solomon now defends the Rune of Life and Death, leading the city of Valenntenia from its Tower.
