PIERGEIRON "the Paladinson"
Palace, all wards
14th (or greater?) level paladin
LG Tyr
Human male

Piergeiron is the only openly-known Lord
of Waterdeep, and speaks for all the Lords.
He is also the City of Splendor?s chief diplomat
to foreign powers and its chief
defender, being both Commander of the
Watch and Warden (commander) of the
Guard. As Overmaster of the Guilds, he has
clear authority to override Guild law, and
his decree is the only absolute law in this
city of interpretation and subtle evasion. As
such, he is very safe from Waterdhavians?
and his life is threatened by foreign powers,
such as Amn, Calimshan, and Luskan, for
the same reason: he is so above reproach,
and so able in his administration and justice,
that the City flourishes. Waterdhavians
could not conceive of a better man to fill the
offices Piergeiron discharges; those wishing
the City ill want to remove him if at all possible.
Piergeiron speaks seldom, and slowly;
as a result, he is sometimes snidely known
as ?the Thickskull,? though never to his face.
He is not stupid, but often pretends to be, to
draw others out into verbal admissions they
might otherwise not make. His grander
nickname is due to the fact that his father
Athar, ?The Shining Knight,? The Arm of
Tyr, was a very famous paladin adventurer 
of the North.
