History
In the early 1360s DR, Sir Glar Chelenov issued the warrant for the arrest of Kosef Demsk after the latter was witnessed slaying Mivar Greyman and leaving his signature weapon in the body. He explained as much to Pavel Shemov, a novice, when the latter came to plead for the gangster.

The next day, Pavel Shemov was found next to a dead guard, Iref Marsk; though the novice claimed to have seen a barghest perform the deed, the magistrate deemed it the actions of a mad dog. He extracted a promise from the Temple of the Dawn to expel Pavel if he was seen pressing the issue any further.

When Pavel Shemov was found at the scene of a fire after killing Dor Stavask in aid of Tana Farag, Glar offered him exile instead of death if he agreed to it. Rather than accept, Pavel threatened to go public with his suspicions that Glar was in fact an accomplice to Dor Stavask. Glar relented, and agreed to intercede to have him reinstated, all but confirming Pavel's suspicions, though they were never proven.

Rumors & Legends
Though Pavel never truly proved as much, he reasoned that Kosef Demsk was framed by a conspiracy between Dor Stavask and Sir Glar Chelenov, in which Dor Stavask would replace Kosef's signature weapon with a fake and leave the real one at a murder in which the killer would be seen to wear Kosef's likeness, while providing a man selected by Glar Chelenov with a trinket carrying the counterspell to unmake the fake with Kosef at the exact moment he was raided. Glar in turn would have selected the man to carry the counterspell, making sure he participated in the raid. In turn, once promoted over Kosef, Dor would provide more and better aid to conspiracies against the king.
