Kannar Atokis never wanted to come to the west, but as an agent of the Scriptorium assigned to the Draconic Legions she never had a choice.  Assigned to General Pretek’s staff, she was meant to act as an advisor on arcane matters, but she was largely ignored.  She was the one dissenting voice among Pretek’s advisors when he announced his intent to summon the tarasque. Afterwards, General Pretek ordered Kannar to secure the city of Calhorne.  Calhorne had been conquered and raised months ago; the order was basically Pretek’s way of getting Kannar out of his presence.  She knew this, as did everyone else, and her status among the Legions was lowered even further by this order.  Nevertheless, Kannar obeyed.

Ironically, Pretek’s order probably saved her life. When the tarasque ritual was disrupted, Kannar became one of the few imperial spellcasters to survive.  Pretek did not survive and command of the imperial forces fell to General Ramar Zenn.

A pragmatist, Zenn has consolidated the imperial forces, establishing his headquarters in Calhorne and elevating Kannar to his personal circle. Unlike Pretek, Zenn is receptive to Kannar’s advice and the Draconic Legions have prospered for it.

Kannar’s status has risen considerably since Zenn assumed command. This has earned her the ire of some members of Zenn’s staff who served under Pretek. The imperial wizard, Arkag Redeye, is particularly irritated that a mere sorcerer has risen so high.  He is quietly working to turn Zenn’s spymaster, Semor Ilreg, against Kannar.

Kannar is well-aware of Redeye’s plots and is considering eliminating the old wizard. The only thing staying her hand is the fact that Redeye’s magical accumen may be their best hope to restore contact with the Empire.  Still, if he continues to work against her, Kannar may just kill the old man and let the pieces fall where they may.
