Field Marshal
Bio:
Originally a ranking member of the Korvosan Guard and part-time adventurer, Cressida was appointed Field Marshal by King Eodred Arabasti II in 4705 AR, after she foiled a plot to poison a grand feast by cultists of Norgorber, saving hundreds of lives and driving the entire cult away from Korvosa. Too occupied by her new position for adventuring but unwilling to abandon her duties, she started hiring adventurers to solve problems that the Guard cannot handle efficiently, and earned earned a reputation for being fair and supportive of them. She also began to work towards cleaning out the corruption within the guard. While her efforts have been somewhat successful the unfortunate side effect was the weeding out of large numbers of personnel leaving the guard overstretched.
