Robilar leads Rary’s armies againstrecalcitrant nomads or centaur tribes, though healso has been at the head of such high-profile militaryactions as the sacking of both Otiluke’s andTenser’s citadels.Robilar began his career as an adventurer,and still has a soft spot for thosewho seek thrills and gold withcourage (and a touch of brashness)in their hearts. He sought his fortunein the company of such luminariesas Mordenkainen,Bigby, Serten,and Rary the Mage. Later, hebetrayed them all except Rary, andeventually was named Lord of Greyhawk(though his titles are now Marshalof the Bright Lands and Warden of theBrass Hills).
