Orland was a Keeper Elder that served as the First Keeper - the formal head of the Keeper Order - during the events of Thief: Deadly Shadows. Orland's leadership proved officious, bureaucratic and secretive, and he often found himself at odds with Garrett, whose pragmatic and straight-forward approach to things contrasted heavily with his own methods.
Orland first appears in Thief II: The Metal Age, albeit voiced by a different actor. Garrett and Orland seem to know each other, likely from Garrett's time with the Keepers. Orland doesn't seem to trust Garrett at all, and considers him to be unworthy to be accepted among the Keepers.[1] On more than one occasion, Orland puts serious obstacles in the master thief's way,[2] but towards the end of Thief: Deadly Shadows, he comes to realized that Garrett is not the threat he had taken him for.
He does not seem to have large support among the Keepers, and some even suspect him of abusing his position for personal interest.
Personality[]
He takes his position as First Keeper very seriously and appears quite pedantic about the Keeper Order's rules. He was very keen to point out his title of First Keeper which could be because he was very prideful of his position, was the result of his strict nature or he was just very pedantic about it.
A key trait of him was that he easily put trust in people that were close to him as he was easily manipulated by the hag to follow her orders by simply sending him notes signed with Caduca’s initial[3] while being distrustful of others namely Garrett.[1] He could also let his emotions lead him as he immediately accused Garrett of Caduca’s murder and sentenced him guilty in a sham trial while also ignoring the opinions of everyone else.[4] Even after it became apparent that the notes signed with Caduca's initial ware coming from someone else he ignored the possibility and still send the Keeper Enforcers after Garrett.[5][1] Besides these flaws he proved to be an arrogant man even at times of great peril.[3]
After Gamall was finally revealed he still chose to keep the purpose of the Final Glyph a secret and even hoped for it to be destroyed.[3][6] However, Artemus' words kept nagging at him and he eventually realize his mistakes and did what was required.[7]
Abilities[]

Orland seems to be adapt at scrying.
He, at least once, possessed the ability to hide in shadows but was unsure if he still possessed this ability at his time as first keeper.[1]
Orland's in-game appearance. Note the eyes and the glasses.
On close inspection, the reflection on Orland's glasses (in game) is actually the repeated image of a dark figure. This is best seen at the Keeper Library immediately after Gamall's attack.
