Commander Braghaman Larethian

Back To Work

“And that is all, commander!” the priest said with a snarl before turning an storming away from the paladin. Braghaman stood quietly, as he had during the entire tirade, and waited until the priest had turned the corner in the hallway of the ship. Once the priest was out of sight, Bragh let out a quick sigh and shook his head.

“This man really does not like you, friend Braghaman.”

Bragh turned to see the large form of a Draenei walking towards him. His armor was clean, but dented, and he rested a massive polearm on his shoulder.

“I think he really doesn’t, Heradus.”

“What did you do, my friend, to earn that much enmity?”

“He didn’t like that I wasn’t in his chain of command.”

“That is all? Did you challenge his authority?”

“I’m sure he believes that I did,” Braghaman said with a quick sigh. “Some of my former students had gotten cut off during a patrol. He told me not to go after them, but I decided to anyway.”

“Your students, did you find them?”

“I did. A few friends and I tracked them down and brought them back.”

“But this war priest. He is upset that you did so without his blessing.”

“Pretty much,” Bragh answered, running his hand over his beard. “He thinks I’m a bad influence and had me removed as a trainer.”

“And he did not bring charges against you?”

“I’m sure he wanted to. But I worked for someone else, so I wasn’t in his chain of command. Only thing he could do was have me removed.”

“And now he does not wish you near the younger soldiers. For fear that you will influence their actions, too?”

“That appears to be the case.”

The Draenei frowned slightly and seemed lost in thought momentarily. “By your own account, you refused his wishes. But it turned out that you were correct in your assessment of the situation.”

“Perhaps. But there are some in my church who are very strict in their beliefs and do not let go of them easily.”

“Well, friend Braghaman, if he does not wish you to assist with his young paladins, that is his loss. I however, would greatly appreciate if you would help me. My men and I will soon return to the surface at Hope’s Landing.”

“He won’t be happy to see me down there again, Heradus,” Braghaman pointed out with a smirk.

“This may be true, friend Braghaman. But as you have said, I am not in his chain of command.”
