Character
Lord Hargrave
Created by Rosalyn the SeerLord Hargrave was born the seventh son of a minor noble house, a position that guaranteed him nothing but the bitter taste of irrelevance in his father's shadow. As a youth, he witnessed a traveling merchant display an ancient tapestry depicting the God-King seated upon a throne of starlight, and something within him fractured and reformed—an obsession that would consume his every waking moment. Through decades of cunning manipulation, blackmail, and strategic marriages, he clawed his way from obscurity to command of the eastern territories, yet the crown remained maddeningly beyond his grasp, held by distant relatives with stronger claims. When whispers reached him of a hidden artifact—a key or map or prophecy that could legitimize his ascension—Hargrave saw his singular chance, and he dispatched his most expendable scout on a quest through cursed lands and forgotten kingdoms with orders that seemed to guarantee failure. The scout's impossible mission was never truly about retrieval; rather, Hargrave needed a scapegoat whose death would explain away his desperate measures to the court, while he orchestrated his final move toward the throne. In the dead of night, he began gathering mercenaries and speaking in hushed tones with discontented lords, all the while composing elaborate eulogies for the scout he'd sent to die in the wastes.
