Primarch Zadar

Primarch Zadar is a 61-year-old human, former cleric, and leader of the Church. He is famous throughout the Core Empires for his reforms and even-handedness.

History
Like many members of the Church, Zadar was born and raised in poverty. His childhood was spent on the streets, struggling to survive. He says to have been taken in by clerics before he was a teenager, and resolved to stay with the Church soon after.

Zadar noticed problems such as waste and corruption within Church leadership, and worked his way up its ranks in order to eliminate problems, eventually being voted Primarch by his peers.

Characteristics
The role of Primarch has alway been very official and formal, involving a great deal of ceremony. However, Primarch Zadar shuns these traditions in favor of a more modest and outright casual demeanor. He speaks freely with common folk- unthinkable for Primarchs past- and has done away with ostentatious religious rituals.

Zadar is usually laid back. He dresses for comfort unless he is entertaining nobility or holding a Council of Emperors in the Tanis Cathederal.

He labors tirelessly to stop the the Core Empire's infighting.
