=====Baronet Duranis Cicato ===== {{:game_systems:pathfinder:crown:npcs:duranis_cicato.png|Duranis Cicato}} Duranis Cicato is a battle-tested military man, having fought insurgents and threats all throughout the lands south of Cassomir. He earned a vicious scar across his face while fighting a group of Urgathoan cultists operating near Taldor’s southernmost shores in a battle that ended with the cultists’ defeat and several years of prosperity in the region. Upon his return to his familial holdings after that battle, Duranis found his elderly mother on her deathbed. Following his mother’s death, he procured an honorable discharge from the military and assumed his mother’s former seat in the senate. Cicato is a dogged proponent for revitalizing Taldor’s military, which he sees as languishing despite its ample funding. He specifically champions updating a military that he fears lags behind the innovations of other nations. While these beliefs were somewhat shared with Maxillar Pythareus, the two often disagreed about the best way to implement military reform. Cicato has shown willingness to accept Eutropia as his future empress even before the death of the High Strategos Duranis has been approached by the agent of Detahs, [[game_systems:pathfinder:crown:npcs:Didia_Petroni_Varima|Didia Petroni Varima]] in the hope of creating a romantic relationship.
