Grand Duke Aric Tormenth
Grand Duke Aric Tormenth is a man of calculation and cunning, known for his strategic alliances and pragmatic approach to governance. Unlike the House Goliath, who focus on their own goals and have no interest in ruling, House Tormenth has always sought political stability and influence—usually at the cost of making quiet, under-the-table deals. Aric is no warlord or knight; he is a master of negotiation and diplomacy, and he has successfully used his wealth, influence, and connections to manipulate both the nobility and the Cabal to secure his position.
Appearance: Grand Duke Aric is in his late 40s, with a sharp, calculating gaze and a demeanor that always seems one step ahead. He dresses in rich, but subtle fabrics, preferring dark blues and silvers that highlight his house’s colors, and often carries symbols of wealth rather than outright displays of military power.
Personality: Aric is charming but distant, preferring words over weapons. He is known for his ability to smooth over conflicts while maintaining an iron grip on power.

Strengths: Aric excels in economic strategies, political maneuvering, and subtle diplomacy. He is skilled at controlling information and using his vast network of spies and informants to stay one step ahead of potential threats. His greatest asset is his patience—he plays the long game.

Weaknesses: Aric’s reliance on subtlety and diplomacy can backfire. Some might see him as weak or lacking the brute strength needed to lead when war comes to Eledar's doorstep.
