Wilson King
Wilson King, President of the Firelands Stockgrower's Association
.The wealthiest man in the Firelands.
Wilson King is a mountain of a man—broad, towering, and impossibly composed. His hands are as large as spades, his voice smooth as aged whiskey, and when he speaks, men fall silent as though the air’s been claimed. He built the King Ranch into the wealthiest spread in the Firelands, an empire of cattle and contracts centered around his fortified manor—a structure part homestead, part fortress, and part throne room. Every deal in the Firelands, whether written or whispered, seems to pass his approval before it finds daylight.
He’s a figure of authority who moves between law and outlaw like a rancher traversing his fence line. Deputies dine at his table; outlaws take his coin. Yet, he keeps his affairs divided so neatly that no string ever seems tied back to his hand. Wilson’s eyes—green-gray and knowing—seem to weigh a man’s worth down to the secret he didn’t know he was keeping.
People murmur that he’s half ogre, or worse, but never loud enough for him to hear. Those who work for him sometimes swear that the shadows move strangely around his shape, that his breath carries the scent of rain on copper, or that his temper changes the very air in the room. Still, nobody doubts his mastery over the Firelands—because in a land ruled by hunger and ambition, Wilson King’s appetite is simply greater than anyone else’s.

Mannerisms
When Wilson listens, he steeples his thick fingers beneath his chin and fixes his gaze unblinking on the speaker, an unnerving stillness settling over him. Sometimes, those close enough swear they catch a faint glint in his eyes—green shot through with gold—like sunlight reflecting deep in a forest pool. When he finally speaks, it’s slow and deliberate, each word heavy with the sense that he’s already decided what comes next.
