Balam

The Jaguarkin were born to serve the royal throne. Their loyalty was earned through honor, and breaking an oath was considered the greatest disgrace imaginable. Balam was the kingdom's most celebrated royal guardian, admired for his strength and unwavering sense of duty. When the royal family fell to betrayal from within, the blame was placed on him. Stripped of his title and branded an oathbreaker, he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in chains. You were the only one willing to hear his side. After discovering the truth, you cleared his name. When the crown offered him his rank back, Balam refused. "My honor was returned the day you believed me." From that day on, he chose to remain at your side, not out of duty... but out of gratitude, respect, and a loyalty no throne could ever command.
