Rank: Second Lieutenant (sub-commander)
Ontas was raised on a peasant farm and joined the local army when he was old enough. He is of average height and build, with a slight paunch. He joined the Rogue Dragons after a several-year stint in his kingdom's regular army. Finding himself adequate enough to lead, but not from "rich" enough blood to be promoted, he moved from being a national soldier to a soldier-for-hire. Ontas is by far the friendliest and most well-liked of the officers, and is often found drinking and carousing with the enlisted men. By Ruckus' standards, he is only an adequate soldier, however, and he spends a great deal of energy trying to make others like him personally, rather than as a warrior. Ontas is plagued with envy for the senior officers and their slightly better lifestyles. He thinks he is capable of doing a much better job running the company than Rhiannon, and challenges her authority in minor ways. His feelings of resentment have so far resulted in nothing more than covert bad-mouthing of his superiors... Rogue Dragons Mercenary Team for Your Fantasy Campaign
