Shaw Denetheros
Faces In Time · by Historian Airen Mirelle
It was in the southwestern city of Ofcol where Shaw Denetheros, fourth Arbiter of Justice, was born and raised. Though both of his parents were respectable people within the community, Shaw still considers himself to have been "a country bumpkin" while growing up. His father, Jakob Denetheros, was deputy to the Marshall Diana and served the law well as a stern but loving individual. Shaw's mother, Sharla Denetheros, was the city's midwife and well versed in the way of medicine. It was her gentle healing ways that persuaded Shaw to join the guild of the healers. Upon turning seventeen, Shaw left Ofcol and wandered the forests of Drkshtyre for many weeks, eventually coming upon the city of Val Miran. It was here that he met an Elder of Justice by the name of Athorn. He and the stone giant became fast friends and it was mainly through his influence that Shaw followed in his father's footsteps and became a lawman upon reaching his pinnacle. "If there is one thing I've learned is that we need the law" Some years later, Lord Mhalador descended to Shaw, now the Arbiter, while he patrolled the streets of Val Miran. It was here that the Lord gathered several passersby to reenact a battle scene. During the course of the reenactment, Lord Mhalador falsely accused Shaw of hiding children within his watchtower. The joke became widely known and Shaw was thereafter nicknamed the "Evil Overlord of the Tower".
