'''Orthenon''' is the Steward of King [[Flos Reimarch]] of [[Reim]]. As the "Left Hand" of the King of Destruction, he is effectively second-in-command of the kingdom.
Orthenon is a tall and gaunt Human male with a slim build. He appears to be in his forties. He has black hair and a long, drooping mustache, which makes him look austere.<ref name="6.13 K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/04/6-13-k/ Chapter 6.13 K]</ref><ref>{{VERef|9.04}}</ref> He is described to walk like a cat when unguarded, hunching his shoulders, which gives the impression that he's always about to pounce.<ref>{{VERef|9.04}}</ref>He usually dresses like a [Butler] or [Chamberlain]. During battle or war, he wears a leather, that is form-fitting and enchanted and a single-edged sword at his belt.<ref name=":4.00 K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/06/4-00-k/ Chapter 4.00 K]</ref>
Orthenon is strict and demands perfect understanding. If one makes a mistake, he would go over it again with them in exacting detail, and question them on that very thing the next time they met.<ref name=":4.00 K" /> He is brisk and efficient, ranging from carrying out every day tasks or dining. While kind in his own way, with a quiet sense of humor, he is a terrifying figure to strangers and his King's enemies. He doesn't let his emotions show on his face, with seeing him be angry or laugh are rare events.<ref>{{VERef|6.14 K}}</ref> Orthenon insists on formality, always referring to Flos as 'my lord' or 'sire,' despite their close bond. He is dedicated to his [King], and was the only one of his vassals to remain during his slumber. Orthenon was raised in the [[Drath Archipelago]].<ref name="6.14 K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/07/6-14-k/ Chapter 6.14 K]</ref> He was a cultivator who committed serious crimes, including murder and theft in order to improve his cultivation. Fifty years ago, he was branded a [Traitor] and sentenced to death, but he escaped the Archipelago.<ref>{{VERef|Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 2)}}</ref> Soon afterwards, he became a mercenary. He entered Flos' service when he tried to meet Flos by fighting his way through everyone, and was dueling Mars when Flos came out to see what was going on.<ref>[[Chapter 7.10 K]]</ref> After entering Flos's service, he removed Orthenon's [Traitor] class.<ref name="4.06KM" />Orthenon and Gazi used to be in a relationship.
Orthenon is considered one of the top ten [Warriors] of Chandrar.

* '''Drathian Cultivation:''' Orthenon has undergone basic Drathian cultivation techniques, increasing his physical prowess. He can also impart his energy to his mount, increasing its capabilities. He claims his internal energy has not changed due to Chandrar being a "land without a drop of energy."<ref>{{VERef|10.12 H (Pt. 1)}}</ref> * '''Weapon Mastery''': He is described to be a "treacherous infighter with a sword" and is described to be one of the finest spearmasters in the world on horseback.
*He could have been a member of the [[Seven]] as well, but as the King’s Steward, he can't leave his side.<ref name=":4.04 K">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/20/4-04-k/ Chapter 4.04 K]</ref>
*He and Gazi have memorized how to build trebuchets from the first wars of conquest.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/04/interlude-trade-and-travel/ Interlude - Trade and Travel]</ref>
*He hates criminals of all kind, even former ones,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/23/7-09-k/ Chapter 7.09 K]</ref>
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/06/4-00-k/ To] [[Trey Atwood|the]] [[Teresa Atwood|Twins]]) “We are at war. But we must be prudent and sensible in a war of vengeance. We must gather our strength, and my lord Flos knows this.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/20/4-04-k/ To] [[Flos Reimarch|Flos]]) “I would hardly let myself get killed on the first battle since you awoke, my King. We shall return soon enough. Be ready for us.”
