Mardin of Chaztuk

Mardin of Chaztuk is the rider of the Gilded Preserver, and may only ride that golem.

''A Durani knight saved Mardin from the valley of Chatzuk when the Khan's army put it to the torch and annihilated the Urugal nomads who lived there. For her valor in routing the Gudanna at Chatzuk, that knight was promoted to the Gilded Band, and made young Mardin her squire. Though spurned as an outsider among the Durani nobility, he grew fiercely loyal to the Empire in the course of his education, and became adept with golems as he studied the lore of the Arcana. In time, Mardin was permitted to fight beside his master on a golem of his own. After years of fighting together, she fell in the Battle of Ru. In his grief, Mardin refused to be parted from her Winged Preserver, now riderless. Piqued by the unseemly stubbornness of a lowborn squire, the court instructed Sir Ramaka to personally set him in order. Unexpectedly, he did so by knighting Mardin, who inherited his master's place as knight of the Gilded Preserver. Zealously persistent in his devotion to the Hamazi Empire, Mardin yearns to avenge his mentor's death and the Empire's defeat by crushing the Gudanna.''
