No picture is available for Head Slayer Caldar, leader of the Council of Elders of the village of Darceth, and interpreter for the mountain goddess. From what I've learned of his personality, the lack of either portrait or statue is not from lack of interest on Caldar's part. Rather no one with the appropriate skill lives in Darceth. Word spread throughout the caravans that Caldar would not pay for services rendered, but would instead confiscate the portrait. And if the artist complained, the village elder would consign the poor wight to the Goddess' chamber of justice.
Physically, Caldar is not an impressive example of manhood. He is short, portly and gray-bearded. As far as personality, he exudes righteousness and struts with arrogance. Although he is the head slayer, he makes no attempt to achieve the conditioning he requires of others. Of course, he is used to bullying people to get what he wants rather than earning it.
