Cadamon Gardner is the junior commander of the Leaden Mace Society chapter in Castleton, subordinate and student of Alberic Ashmore. He is more or less the public face of the Leaden Mace, as he is often the first one to greet petitioners at the door and direct them to where they need to go. Perhaps this is for the best, as Cadamon is much more personable and tactful than the blunt, all-business Commander Ashmore. Cadamon is often the one conducting interviews and interrogations when a softer touch is required. However, he has been noted to be the type to "grow quills under pressure."
A member of the Cuthbertine clergy since an early age, Cadamon joined the Leaden Mace Society in his late teens, ascending through the ranks first as an inquisitor, then inquisitor/analyst. Shortly after reaching senior status, the younger cleric was selected by Ashmore to serve as his lieutenant, and has performed his duties admirably in that position ever since. Perhaps a bit too admirably, though; stories of the lieutenant commander accidentally entering a rapturous state while casting divine magic in rapid succession or when casting while tired can be heard every now and then around the Leaden Mace hostel in Castleton. To help lighten the lieutenant's workload a little, Ashmore hired a junior analyst, Leiden Frost, while Cadamon was assisting the Vigilant Guardians in the siege of Castle Osyluth.
Cadamon has a reputation as being a very lucky person, or perhaps just an astute and well-informed one. In either case, he seems to end up winning more than his fair share of bets around the hostel. His birthday is Peloron 7th.
