Chaplain Tol Amar is the quintessential Word Bearer. Charismatic, skilled, and cunning. Brave in battle, skilled as a leader. Ambitious, but loyal to his master. Contemplative and visionary at the same time. Tol Amar may be among the most ambitious of Castor's acolytes, but he's also one of the few that show real promise. If Castor wanted someone (which he don't) to forge a Host of their own - or succeed him - Tol Amar might be such a one.

Tol Amar hails from Sicarus, but he lacks the pure Colchisian blood that is so popular among the upper echelons. Instead he's an orphan of dubious parentage, a survivor that clung to life and climbed up the temple stairs, one painful step at the time.
