Everett Fulgure
Strength through malice
Fulgure has an obviously twisted worldview, which unfolds layer after rotten layer to anyone who speaks with him. Even his worst enemies may not take him seriously: his hatefulness seems to screw up his judgment, and he simplifies every situation beyond the point of usefulness. But Fulgure's combative outlook gives him his own flavor of cunning, power, and vindication. He's neglectful to those beneath him and aggressively withholds any sort of praise. So he's very good at conserving favors: people across the continent feel like they owe him something, and he has a dozen cards in his hand at all times. He expresses a hatred for people who are overtly meek and compassionate, and tries to find a hidden malice beneath their sugary personalities. So he's very good at recognizing people whose villainy is more subtle than his. He has a vast personal life, with plenty of family and friends to visit after work. So he knows what his enemies are fighting for, and he knows the threats he can make to keep them in line.A fascination with Imbre
He used to move around Ornity quite a bit, but Fulgure wanted to settle in Imbre for years, even before it was captured. He loved the idea of bardic magic, a distinct set of powers that served to put his noble musical training to work. The sequences he plays on his lute kept getting stranger, with frenetic melodies and esoteric structures, as he devoted his practice entirely to the abilities it unlocked. He loves to show off his newfound mysticism through spells like Friends and Countercharm. Fulgure led the effort to transform Imbre into a cornerstone of magic, supporting the Duumvirate and developing new devices to penetrate the Stakes. While he's usually apathetic and takes losses in stride, his project in Imbre is one he won't compromise. He has one of the greatest castles on the continent; nobody will take his city away.
