The First Elder showed why he had held one of the most prominent positions in the guild and remained in his post longer than anyone else in the guild's history.
Juma was absolutely excellent!
The man adapted to the circumstances he was in, learning about the situation on the continent, the guild, and the force's already developing plans. He began giving orders in the same direction as Minos, making internal corrections at headquarters and at the post in Hilltop City.
Minos liked what he saw, sensing a freshness coming from a mind that was new to them, but very experienced and knowledgeable, competent enough to show them some interesting strategies for getting to their goals faster, without too many detours along the way.
This gave Minos more confidence to go ahead with his plans and leave the post in Uzira permanently in Juma's hands.
