Background
"Hahaha! You got stabbed!" ~Balfor Balton
Balfor Balton is an aasimar of Vetrion, and general of the armies of Alivast. He is a jovial and boastful man, seemingly ill-fitted for the responsibility of leading the army. Yet when involved in military matters, he shows a quick mind, ample experience, and focused attention.
Balfor first met The Unexpectables when Avery's Gryphon Riders brought them to the war camp after the group fell from the sky. Though amiable to the group, he stated that the front lines were not a proper place for civilians. He instructed Remus Corbeau to escort the group back to Alivast, as well as deal with some ground reconnaissance and supply requests in the city along his way.
Relationships
Aila
Aila is Balfor's wife. Not much is known of the specifics of their relationship, though Aila claims he is a wonderful husband and Balfor seems very taken with Aila, going as far as entrusting Remy to deliver a personal letter to her during a reconnaissance and escort mission to Alivast.
Balfor loves Aila. A lot. He loves her so much he would punch a dragon if he had too. He would punch a dragon made of bees, really hard. If he had to he would punch bee dragons really hard even without any fire magic doohickies around.

To accommodate the wedding traditions of Vetrion, Aila and Balfor had a ritual contest of strength as part of their wedding. Since Aila’s strengths are mystical and not physical like Balfor’s, any regular contest would be woefully unbalanced in his favor. To provide a semblance of balance, and make light of a ritual that seemed unsuitable for their pairing, the pair satisfied the requirement by engaging in a thumb war. Balfor won.
Borky
When Balfor Balton heard that Borky's first encounter with Abacus Fleetfinger caused him to polymorph into a turtle, he exclaimed that Abacus turned him into a rabbit. Soon after, they became "Transformation Buddies".
Berotha
Berotha is Balfor's chief of staff. She handles the day to day paperwork and organizational aspects providing Balfor with the information and details he needs and recording and communicating his orders down the chain of command.
Brorc Bronze-Fang
In a letter to his wife, Balfor expounds at length how he is concerned about Brorc's stress and that he needs to find an appropriate way to release some of it. His suggestions include setting Brorc up with someone named Sariel as well as suggesting he could use a trip to the Romansion.
Trivia
- With the encounter with The Unexpectables, he was able to help them with delivering a message to Brorc Bronze-Fang as well as giving them a small job when returning to Alivast.
- He would totally punch a dragon made out of bees for Aila.
- Balton Village is named in honor of Balfor.
