Appearance and Backstory:
"A common mistake. I'm not an anarchist; I believe in laws and social order as long as those things are used in a way that furthers their true purpose: justice for and protection of those who need them. When the courts cease to be a shield and become a sword, the need arises to find that shield outside of the courts."
The Cobalt Sword is a minor nuisance in the minds of the gangs, merchant companies, and enforcers of the Magistrate of Commerce’s office alike, as he is an emerging leader in organizing attempts at forming new guilds for many workers. He isn’t against violence and crime to achieve these goals, recognizing that unionizing is something punishable by an extensive imprisonment in Korvosa, but he is always against killing, something he himself practices with his massive magical sword that he insists will never be used to kill anyone. He says that “the most important battleground in any attempt to change society is in the minds of the moderates. Deaths in the name of a cause makes it looks less like a moral revolution and more like a power grab. We can’t alienate the people who are not personally invested in our struggles.” The Sword organizes rallies and spreads educational material as well as stealing documents showing the great abuses heaped upon the middle and lower classes by the elites of the city.
His current focus is on food suppliers and dockworkers, as he believes that were the laborers in those two camps to cease work for as little as two weeks the economy of the city would grind to a halt and the city authorities would have to allow the laborers to unionize, which would raise the standard of living for many many people.
The Sword stands tall and proud, with his massive greatsword from which he derives his name strapped across his back. A silver fox fur lines his shoulders and a black cape hangs beneath it. His hands are hidden underneath leather gloves and a grey iron helmet hides his face. Nobody ever knows exactly when he will show up to a meeting but he usually does by leaping from the nearest available building and landing several stories below unharmed, leading many to wonder if he is a student of the Acadamae. On the occasion a union-buster squad has forced him to fight, he weaves about swinging his namesake with surprising grace for a man so large wielding enough steel to make a small portcullis out of. The sword's blue glow trails behind it making his swings seem a constant stream of water flowing from foe to foe. His adversaries usually end up laid unconscious but unharmed near the nearest guard station and their gear delivered to a separate station.
