Once again, I would like to submit Zacharias Payne von Ouch for an increase in rank. This season, von Ouch not only survived an assassination attempt, but overcame the disabilities with which it left him. Despite being incapacitated for the rest of the season, made to remain under the watch of healers until his injuries had mended, von Ouch continued to act as a diplomatic figure through his younger sister, Zoe Agoni von Ouch. I believe his extraordinary devotion to diplomacy and the pursuit of peace (despite the atrocious acts against him) despite the barriers set before him exemplifies true greatness.
Further, I would also like to submit the aforementioned Zoe Agoni von Ouch. While she did not make her appearance until late in the season, she was the medium through which Zacharias was able to continue his efforts to maintain order in Rengoria. She wrote the letter requesting the aid of the Judges and, in her brother's place, went to oversee the investigations personally as Zacharias would have undoubtedly done. |
