Born and raised in Emberfield , Lord Byron is a product of the city's post-magical prosperity. His family, once minor nobles, were ruined by a miscast spell from a distant ancestor, instilling in Byron a deep-seated distrust for the arcane and a fervent belief in order, commerce, and military might. He rose through the ranks of the Emberfield Guard and the city council on the strength of his sharp intellect and even sharper tongue.
Lord Byron became the chief advocate for ceasing the expensive watch over Stonewatch Island. He publicly dismissed the warnings of mages like
Seraph Shadewraith
as paranoid superstition, arguing that the resources were better spent on strengthening trade routes and city infrastructure. His persuasive rhetoric, promising a new era of self-reliant prosperity, won over the council.
This decision, hailed at the time, led directly to Emberfield abandoning Archmage Ariel to centuries of torment and forgetting her sacrifice. Now, with Ariel's return as a lich and undead horrors creeping towards Emberfield , Byron's greatest political victory is poised to become his most catastrophic failure.
A portrait of stoic authority, Lord Byron is a tall, slender man in his early 50s with the rigid posture of a lifelong soldier. He has sharp, aristocratic features, with piercing grey eyes that assess everything with a cool, political detachment. His dark hair is neatly slicked back, with distinguished silver streaks at the temples. He is always impeccably dressed in the dark, tailored uniform of a general, adorned with the silver sigil of Emberfield. He carries himself with an air of unshakable confidence, often clasping his hands behind his back. Tucked beneath his uniform, hanging from a simple silver chain, is a polished locket that contains nothing.
