Nils Sprecan

Nils Sprecan is one of the leaders of the Highlander rebellion. He served within the Chamber of Magistrates of the Empire, and is a shrewd diplomat. Ulf Greig, fellow leader of the rebellion, is considered one of his few true friends.

History
Born out of an elven mother, Nils always was a little different whilst growing. His family educated him in the arts of speech and politics since he was very young, and due to his elven appearance; a lean body and slim fit, he always had a knack for persuasion.

Not much is known about Nils upbringing, as he almost never speaks about his past. Most of what is known about him, comes from his time within the Chamber, where he was considered as a rational yet impractical individual. Nils never attempted to implement any new policies or helped any fellow magistrate to do so. He simply carried his duty in conversing and debating the decisions to be made by the Chamber.

Respected by all of his equals, he was never seen as a threat. Nils managed to become an approachable figure, trustworthy, and honest. After serving the Chamber for many years, Nils started coming in contact with a General from the Legion, Ulf Greig. At first their conversations were merely job-related. But as they began to share their opinions, more and more was discovered about their common traits and outlooks.

Nils eventually left the Empire, along with Ulf, to propagate his ideas behind the inefficiency and almost-uselessness of the Empire. They went away into Skáney, where a couple of months after their arrival, they founded the Highlanders. As of this day, Nils is said to be the main decision-maker when it comes to diplomatic issues.
