Sion Astal Husbando

Sion Astal, the "Hero King of Roland" and friend of Ryner Lute and a conflicted and troubled liege. Characterized by his excessive work ethic, humble attitude and noble goals, he is the most serious of the trio of protagonists often grouped together. Sion is well-loved by his people and his servants, and considers Ryner to be his best friend. Sion is a tactical genius and perfectly willing to make sacrifices so the greater good can be accomplished, even if the method is often extreme, though he is frequently troubled when forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. He once remarked that while he wished for the same end as Ryner, the means by which he intends to use to secure the end greatly differs from that of Ryner's ideals.
