Maestro Lucius Papinius Cyricus

Maestro Lucius Papinius Cyricus

  This is Bakkus father. In his youth, he was a bohemian musicien going from villages to villages. He has many illegitimate children. In his later years, he was recruited by the emperor, he learned of the blood ritual and is now the one performing it. He devised a couple of variation using his own blood, but unfortunately everyone that has his blood is immune to these powerfull effects. He has spent a lot of ressources trying to find all his illegitimate children and get rid of them so they don't compromise his plans with the Emperor (he also gets rid of the women he had a child with. He killed Bakkus mother with poisons, he does this to try and not raise suspition and bring spotlight unto them).   His relation with the Orcs is something recent. They needed an armed force to riot the villages at the edge of the empire and try to destabilize the merchants that control the edge of the empire or a distraction for those not at the edge. He trains orc bards to become his apprentices so they can influence the warchiefs into doing what he needs to. He sent the Iron fairy Orcs to destroy Mettelinum on order of the emperor. The Iron Fairy Orcs are their contact with the Empress via her Lieutenant (Ignis Ancestor)
