King Baird Cathor II,
“The Bandit King”
King Baird Cathor II (male Tordoran Ari5/Ftr5/
Rog8): Baird Cathor II is the eldest ruler of the Iron
Kingdoms. The Cathors of Tordor managed to
survive the ravages of the Orgoth and have
retained a measure of power over the past
thousand years, traditionally relying on
the support of the castellan noble
families to govern land,
collect taxes, and

armed levies. Though the inherent power of the
monarchs has waxed and waned throughout Ordic
history, King Baird Cathor II is viewed as a likeable
lout but a strong king despite himself.
King Baird II has sat on the throne of Ord for
over three decades. As the third son of a robust
father, he never expected to be king and showed no
aspirations toward leadership. In this regard he bears
some superficial resemblance to Cygnar’s King Leto.
However, where Leto turned to religion, Baird spent
most of his youth in debauchery indulging heavily
in gambling, drinking, and women. Likely he would
have happily spent the rest of his life in such pursuits.
However, his oldest brother King Alvor V was lost at
sea during a storm just three months after assuming
the throne and was never found. Baird’s
remaining brother Brogan was
killed two months after
Alvor when a large
