Overview
Lord Belchaus has held Terandria against foreign fleets for over a decade and his presence alone ensures that the coast where his fleets patrol remains safe harbors even in wars.[2] Even [Pirates] fear his naval presence.[3]
He is an amazing strategist who communicated anonymously for a time with Niers, and, due to his perfumed letters, caused Niers to fall in love thinking he was a woman.[4]
He is known as one of the top five most powerful [Lords] in Innworld,[2] even the "best" [Lord] according to the list compiled by Krsysl Wordsmith. He is also considered "most eligible bachelor".[5]
Chronology
His dance-off against the Order of Savellia was telewizardized by Wistram but apparently cut short after homophobic viewers watched him dancing with a male partner. It became very clear in that show that Lord Belchaus studied Earth dancing styles.[5]
