Thaddeus the Great

Thaddeus the Great was a Human Akythan general and conqueror from the city of Massicos of the Akythan League. Thaddeus was the first and only person to manage to conquer (virtually) all of the Inner Sea under one banner.

Thaddeus pioneered the use of Sarissas and tight phalanx formations supported by cavalry, a style of warfare that became the norm in the latter years of the Akythan League.
