Description
Cassius Marcus Luca is the majordomo, guardian, and trusted friend of Queen Lysandra Kvothe. If Lysandra is ever present, it is a near guarantee that Cassius is lurking somewhere nearby. His loyalty to his liege is unwavering, and most threats to Lysandra's safety are crushed in Cassius's stony grip.
Despite being short for a Teraki, Cassius doesn't let his smaller stature slow him down. Cassius is an expert martial artist, utilizing his stony body as a living battering ram, scattering foes as her tears through them like an earthquake. When Cassius attacks, his enemies yield or break upon his fists.
This statblock represents Cassius during his days at the Ringvale Academy of Sword and Sorcery, before his disenrollment to become Lysandra's chief advisor.
