Captain Lyra Steelheart
Captain of the City Guard, Defender of the Peace
Lyra is a no-nonsense, by-the-book kind of person. She takes her job seriously and expects her subordinates to do the same. She's tough but fair, and has a reputation for being one of the most efficient and effective guards in the city.
"I don't have time for your excuses." "Do your job or find another one." "We're here to serve and protect."
Lyra struggles with the corrupt politics of the city, and often finds herself at odds with city officials who would rather turn a blind eye to crime than risk their own power. She also clashes with some of her more lenient fellow guards, who she feels aren't doing enough to maintain order.
Lyra is motivated by a deep sense of duty to her city and its people. She takes pride in keeping the streets safe and ensuring that justice is served. She also hopes to one day rise through the ranks of the guard and become a commander.
Despite her tough exterior, Lyra can be quite stubborn and inflexible at times. She's also prone to taking on too much responsibility, which can lead to burnout.
Some whisper that Lyra is secretly a member of a secret society dedicated to rooting out corruption in the city. Others claim that she's been seen meeting with members of the city's criminal underworld, leading some to question her loyalties.
