Riordan

Riordan is the Deputy Commander of the Royal Army, Viscount of Rocheste and headmaster of the Royal Academy. He is a role model of a soldier that believes in the idea of being a knight and commanding from above.

Like Gwynn, Riordan strictly follows the rules of the Royal Army, and has no regrets about his actions. For instance, Riordan was willing to destroy all of Hoarfrost Hollow just to retrieve a Holy Artifact.

He holds a firm belief that all good soldiers must absolutely follow orders to the letter, without any kind of emotions getting in the way. This idea always led to a conflict with the current commander of the Royal Army, Keaghan.

Apparently, Riordan seems to dislike the mercenary "rookie". For instance, he tested them to craft the Cadet Ring and the Royal Cadet Set, which Gwynn claims these are "near-impossible" tasks.

Riordan has a wife named Nel, who occasionally brags to him or other cadets.

Just like his brother, who is the current lord of Rocheste, Riordan isn’t naturally a bad person, but he is too stubborn and his words tend to hurt more than he was intending to.

"I am Deputy Commander Riordan. I trust no further introduction is needed."
