Factol Lhar

Lhar was born in the Hive, worst part of Sigil, to a blind human father and an orc mother. His parents came to the Cage seeking only acceptance: his mother's grotesque appearance made them outcasts on their Prime Material world. They found that appearance, but it didn't put food on their table. To make matters worse, shortly after Lhar's twelfth birthday, his mother became pregnant again. the couple couldn't care for a newborn and a fast-growing adolescent, so they turned Lhar over to the orphanage at the Gatehouse, the establishment where family'd receive food and shelter in the past. Left at the entrance to the building. Lhar never saw his parents again. (Factol Lhar's sought his parents - to no avail - ever since.)   Even today, the Gatehouse is all that Lhar knows. He's intimately aware of every square foot of the structure, having spent many hourse as a child roaming the gray-slated halls. Aghast the growing sqalor of the Hive surrounding the Gatehouse, Lhar realizes the increasing need for expanded facilities and more faction members to help run the headquarters. As such, he's planning to build an additional wing jutting out of the back of the Gatehouse to house more orphans and indigents. further, he's planning the potentially risky maneuver of increasing membership in the faction. History shows the strong possibility of triggering another Grim Retreat in the Cabal. but Lhar hopes to stagger the influxes and somehow avoid the traume of past increase.   Lhar's set up soup kitchens in the other wards (all of which are considerably richer than the Hive) in the hope of gaining donations, for the proposed wing will cost considerably more than what's in the Bleakers' coffers. Likewise, he's creating his network of Madmen to understand more of the political nature of Sigil: too often in the past, bleakers've turned a blind eye to events influencing the other factions. Lhar wants to be prepared for any event, and he wants to understand the forces moving throughout the Cage. He's struggling to keep his faculties together long enough to raise the jink necessary for the wing's construction. Once it's finished, Lhar plans to succumb to the Grim Retreat.   Unlike his predecessors, however, Lhar intends on returning to his position as factol - something never before accomplished in Madman history. To that end, he's promoted four  bloods in his faction, in the hopes that they'll help see him through his coming madness.
