Dunfield

Captain Dunfield was a mercenary officer who operated throughout the Sword Coast region of the North during the late 15 century DR.

Personality
Dunfield was considered a hardened and distrusting man who was somehow able to remain honorable during the difficult times in which he lived. He always did his best by the soldiers under his command and strived to serve the community at large.

Relationships
He had a long-standing relationship with Dagult Neverember, Lord Protector of Neverwinter.

History
After Lord Neverember started the New Neverember movement and rose to power in Neverwinter during the 1470s DR, he appointed Dunfield as captain of the town guard of Helm's Hold and made the official decree of Protector's Law, stating that all spellscarred residents of the city would be sent to the Hold for treatment. While Captain Dunfield kept the peace in the Helmite city a new prophet of the Watcher named Rohini rose to great acclaim for her treatment of the unfortunate spellscarred. Some time before the, Rohini revealed herself as a succubus and the leader of the devil-worshipping Ashmadai. She gathered her cultist followers and drove Dunfield and his soldiers out from the city, forcing them to regroup elsewhere.

Captain Dunfield rallied what soldiers and mercenaries he had at a small camp outside Helm's Hold, known as the Last Redoubt. They built siege weapons and marched on the city, beginning the Siege of Helm's Hold. Although they were rebuffed by Rohini and the devils she summoned from the Nine Hells, Dunfield and his soldiers continued the assault and gathered more allies. Among these individuals were members of the Neverwinter Watch, civic leaders like Alisara Callum, Helmite clergy that served under Brother Satarin, and numerous adventurers including the Hero of Sleeping Dragon Bridge.
