Sometime during the Long Night Captain Lykos went 'missing', apparently disappearing without word or trace to the Defenders who then kept his disappearance quiet. Citizens of the City of the Free Peoples began to grow suspicious and rumors spread about the disappearance of the city's unofficial leader, with some rumors even leading to suspicions that he was responsible for the attack on Krimnos. Panic over the Captain's absence began to spread and the Defenders declare martial law to keep the city in order as stability and control over the population grows shaky. The city began preparing for a revolt and the Defenders upped their visible search efforts for the missing captain.
During this rising confusion and concern a group of awakened began looking into the captain's disappearance starting with the individuals Daud and Rocket. They questioned the Defenders on where Lykos was last seen and whether or not the Defenders suspected foul play was involved. During Daud's questioning Rocket searched the warcamp for clues and eavesdropped on conversations between the defenders.
The Defenders were dodgy about answering Daud's questions, their responses were short and often limited to when he was last seen: the Long Night, however one guard was more helpful and offered a short summary of what she knew:
He was headed for one of the Southern bonfires. They found no evidence of a struggle or blood on the path he would have taken so they assumed something interrupted him before he made it to the bonfire. She added that she was certain something or someone was keeping Captain Lykos from returning because he loved the city too much to abandon it by choice. She grew too nervous to say much more and excused herself to get back to her duties of keeping the peace.
During Rocket's infiltration of the camp he overheard some of the defenders complaining about the pair of orcs who took charge after Lykos' disappearance, a large red orc named Koroc and a slightly smaller blue orc named Dervish. In his searching, he caught sight of two orcs who matched their descriptions and followed them to a large tent. There he overheard the pair discussing plans to forcible reign the city in and take back control. He also caught sight of some of Captain Lykos' belongings (his familiar hooded cloak at the top) and a large metal cage with a large gray wolf chained inside.
The pair kept an eye on the camp's activities for the next few days, catching glimpses of Koroc intervening in discussions of Lykos and occasional groups or individuals from the warcamp being sent to the South.
