Nerva

Nerva is your average elf guard, who has fought mad cultists in the past, will likely fight fire elementals in the future, and in the meantime, eats as many fine cuts of steak as possible while dealing with Cassia and the rest of the rebellion. Nerva is young, and holds out little hope for the future, deciding to enjoy himself when he can. He is not disciplined, being the child of a noble family on the route to an unearned officership, but has survived where others have not and knows when the situation calls for humor and when it is time to be serious. The former include when he showed Cassia around Needle Springs, and the latter include when she found the sword of the Hero Carl and started a riot, ignoring Nerva's orders to return to Janus with him.
