Bio:

Atarpas is one of the nemedian officers Barathus rescued from slavery. He’s young and had not yet finalized his education in the military academy before the war, but still a capable archery officer.

Unlike Mazare, Atarpas is somewhat well-read and educated, taking active part in discussion of house issues and politics. He understands basic psychology and has other means of affecting his subordinates besides punishing them.

This makes him somewhat unusual in the sense that against the general army mentality, Atarpas is mellow and not overly obsessed with authority. For this and his flexibility, he’s liked and respected by his men.
