Aethyr (also known as Commander Aethyr) was a commander of Clearwater who led the evacuation efforts after the King of Clearwater in battle. He remained at Clearwater until he was forcibly evacuated himself and taken to the Great Continent.
Aethyr warned Prince Haldric of the orcs' arrival at the Great Continent, and helped clear the coastline of enemies for remaining refugees to make a safe landing. He also volunteered to have a forged document on his person, such that in death, he tricked the orcs and undead into believing that Haldric had given the Ruby of Fire to the elves.

Evacuation of Clearwater
| Until then, let us make those orcs pay dearly for every inch of our land. For our homes, for our people, for our fallen king! |
| —Commander Aethyr prepares Clearwater Port's defenses. |
Aethyr was a lieutenant and commander of Clearwater,[1] and had a wife and multiple daughters.[2] When the King of Clearwater died in battle against the orcs, most of the port's nobles fled to Southbay, leaving Aethyr in charge of the garrison. He ordered Clearwater's fishing fleet to evacuate its populace, while he and his men defended the port.[1]
Only days before the port froze over, refugees from Stormvale, led by Prince Haldric, arrived at Clearwater, accompanied by Wesfolk. Aethyr introduced himself and explained their predicament. He told Haldric that, though the people of Stormvale were free to evacuate as soon as the first ship came in, they would benefit from Haldric's help in defending the port. Haldric agreed, and reassured Aethyr that the Wesfolk were their friends.[1]
The port fell under siege from three orcish warlords, and Aethyr held out for as long as possible. Eventually, by the time the third ship came, Haldric and his refugees were forced to depart for Southbay by ship, leaving Aethyr and his remaining soldiers to defend what was left of the port.[1] When the port was eventually overrun, he made his last defense in the lighthouse when one of Haldric's ships returned. One of his men hit him on the head and when he came to, he was at sea.[3]
