    In English-speaking traditions that style people "Sir", it correctly precedes one's forename or full name, but not one's surname. For example, the actor Patrick Stewart is Sir Patrick or Sir Patrick Stewart, not Sir Stewart.

    The choice to use Sir Surname is even more baffling considering the NPC is addressed, presumably, by his forename, Sir Tolas. Why is he Sir Forename but I'm Sir Surname?
