Cooper, Captain of the Griffin Cavaliers

Cooper was raised among Torman outriders and joined the defense of Hollow Valley after raiders burned several remote settlements. Though only twenty-four years old, he earned command by leading a doomed rescue mission through a winter storm and returning with every civilian alive. General Adrina appointed him captain of the cavalier platoon at Wayward Keep, a decision some veteran officers questioned until Cooper saved the keep's eastern gate during the Red Ravine assault. He has sworn that no enemy will pass the griffin standard while he still draws breath.

Griffin Guard. When an adjacent ally is targeted by a melee attack, Cooper makes a melee attack against the attacker if the attacker is within his reach. If the attack hits, the ally gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against that attack.
