Beryl

Senior Councilor Beryl is the Guardian factions pride and joy, he's a former Keeper of the Flame, from the Order of the Star. He turned to the political scene some fifteen years back, after resigning as the regional Captain of the Order in Seattle.

Political leanings
Beryl is not only a representative of the Guardian faction on the Council, but also the leader of the Guardians for all of North America. He strongly opposes pro-Dark mage policies and is re-actively fighting any Resolution or case that speak in the favor of the Dark Mages.

While sympathetic to the ADR, he is still enough of a traditionalist that he wouldn't see them take that Junior seat that they're after. He, however, advocates for more effective enforcement of the National Laws and harsher punishments for those that break them. A case that has him wildly popular with the Adept and Sensitive masses.

Personality
Beryl is calm and collected man, he speaks in a low monotone voice and never seems to raise his tone no matter the situation.

He carries himself in a deliberate manner, moving extremely little unless absolutely necessary. He seems possessed of an inner calm, unmatched by any of his peers. It is rumored that Beryl has never flinched once, not even during his tenure as a Keeper.
