Captain Welland

"Our enemy is one Captain Welland, a Forge-long who has fought under many names in many wars. He has demonstrated allegiance to both the Lionsmith and the Forge of Days. He has a preference for direct assault, but he is no simple soldier."

- After uncovering Welland's identity

Captain Welland is a Long of the aspect.

Apostle Aestuant Legacy
In the Apostle Aestuant Legacy, Captain Welland is one of the possible Long enemies who seek to prevent the ascension of a new Name. In a Starlight confrontation, he cannot be harmed by Caligines.

When defeated, he leaves behind a letter urging the player to betray their Shaper: "'SIR - (It does not seem to have occurred to Welland that he might have been defeated by anyone but a 'sir') I am the most dangerous enemy you will ever face, and I have defeated far greater than you. You deserve better than to be pyre-fuel. I urge you to shatter your chains, as the Lionsmith did so long ago, and rise to take your own place as Long. I attach the secret that Darius told Alexander at Issus. Use it wisely. Regards, W. ' [The secret is attached. You can use it to break free of your Mentor.]"

Studying the secret removes the Mentor card, but enables a standard Forge victory.
