The bald, burly man escorted in by Tom and David was none other than the leader of the Laren Association.
Although he wasn't injured during his capture that morning, after being escorted back to the port and interrogated by Wally Knight, he looked utterly dispirited. His body was covered in bloody marks, a clear sign he had been whipped.
Ronin walked to a chair and sat down, sizing the man up.
Although this bald man was a Bronze Knight, with Power ranking him among the top few on Rapids Island, his courage left much to be desired.
Upon seeing this great noble, Ronin, Laren's knees gave out, and he collapsed to the floor.
"My lord, spare me! Spare my life!"
"It was all Marcelo's doing! He incited me! He said we had strength in numbers and didn't need to fear Wally Knight or his men. I... I foolishly believed his lies, and that's why I kept trying to negotiate with Wally Knight, demanding more supplies."
