Captain Elias Black, a figure of authority within the Silverbrook town guard, is known for his corrupt and opportunistic nature. He rules over his troops with an iron fist, but his command is marked by favoritism, exploitation, and a lack of discipline.
While tasked with maintaining law and order, Captain Elias often bends the rules to his advantage. He sees his position as an opportunity for personal gain, using his authority to extort money from merchants, turn a blind eye to criminal activities in exchange for bribes, and manipulate the justice system to his own benefit.
Under his command, the town guard has become a reflection of his own corrupt practices. The guard is a group of enforcers who prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the citizens they are meant to protect. Loyalty to Captain Elias is rewarded, while dissenters and those who refuse to participate in his schemes face harsh consequences.
The townspeople view Captain Elias with a mixture of fear and resentment. They have little trust in the guard, knowing that justice under his command is tainted and unfair. Many have suffered at the hands of his corrupt practices, their pleas for help falling on deaf ears as long as their pockets remain empty.
Despite his disregard for the well-being of the city and its inhabitants, Captain Elias manages to maintain his position of power through intimidation and manipulation. His position as Captain also grants him title of bailiff of the city meaning on most cases of crime he has claim to over see trails. Luckily for most he tends not to enforce this role and leaves the punishment and daily hearings to the mayor of the city. He surrounds himself with a select group of loyal followers, ensuring that dissent is swiftly silenced and any threats to his authority are neutralized.
Captain Elias Black serves as a stark reminder that corruption can infiltrate even the institutions meant to uphold justice. His actions not only undermine the trust of the people but also perpetuate a cycle of corruption and abuse within the ranks of the guard.
