History
Like the rest of the guards in her caravan, Balmeric was chosen directly by Zaranda. He was paid and treated well.

When the party reached a farm that had been raided by bandits, Zaranda ordered her sergeant to form his men into a defensive circle off the road to protect the merchandise and animals, while she and the other adventurers approached the burning farmhouse. She ordered him to use their crossbows to shoot any bandits who might approach. She similarly ordered him off the road when the party encountered the orog Shield of Innocence.

After Zaranda fled from the city of Zazesspur, Balmeric remained with her as a member of Star Protective Services, and he and his crossbowmen helped defend the village of Tweyar from bandits.
