The Bureaucrat's Guide to Heroism: Audio Book
Agathar for The Governor
The Governor — Male, indeterminate older age
Role: Supporting — recurring
The Governor is the nominal head of Big Splinter's civic administration — enthusiastic, well-meaning, and almost completely useless in any situation that requires practical action. He is not stupid. He is simply operating at a level of cheerful optimism that renders him constitutionally incapable of grasping the urgency of most situations. He means well, which is the kindest and most damning thing you can say about him.
He is the kind of official who generates paperwork where action is needed and goodwill where solutions are required. Everyone is fond of him in the way you're fond of a golden retriever that keeps knocking things off tables.
Voice: Warm, bumbling, and relentlessly cheerful. Enthusiastic to the point of mild absurdity. Think Jim Broadbent's particular gift for portraying well-meaning ineffectuality with complete sincerity.

(Gleeful, excited) "Three hundred and forty-seven years, A transferee! At last! This is wonderful! Simply wonderful! And what perfect timing! A hero has arrived just when we need one most!"
With this Demon Lord gathering power in the north, we've been desperate for a sign that the prophecies would be fulfilled.
"Oh! Yes, of course! Let's see… we must have… ah! Twenty-five silvers! For equipment and supplies and… heroic things!"
