Cardinal Gordon wears metallic green plate mail. He is a tall, robust figured man with a deep, commanding voice. He prefers to talk his way out of problems, but will gladly use his crossbow or 2-handed sword if provoked.

He can often be found reading in the archives. He is especially interested in old history. He casts magic spells from an ivory orb into which he has stored spells, thus he takes no penalty for a mage wearing armor.

Cardinal Gorton has a banshee scream attack which has the effect of deafening all within 50' (subject to saving throw vs. Petrification). All within the range must save vs Petrification or run in fear.
