Mycroft Stapleton
Ser Mycroft Percival Stapleton
The enigmatic owner of the independent investigative organization that existed in the years leading up to the Blight. Mycroft was a pragmatic individual that was known for being more aligned with truth than any national sense of duty to his home nation. A factor that not only brought him significant amounts of trouble from existing law enforcement and royal agents of the Sovereign, but from other nations as well. Thanks to his efforts and the efforts of the agents under his direction, the conspiracy that led to the Blight was uncovered and nearly stopped, but sadly their efforts were too late.

Personal history
Mycroft was born from a wealthy family in the city of Belarian , a second son of many. His early years were spent in and out of various educational facilities, but he never could seem to fit in, no matter where his family's money would send him. In the end, though well versed in many sciences and crafts, he was given a stipend by his father and sent on his way to find his own path and hopefully, make his own fortune as far away from the family reputation as possible. From there, Mycroft traveled extensively, his Becht heritage allowing him access to nearly ever civilized part of the world, and some that were less so. His natural charisma and personable demeanor allowing him to easily move through society. Over the years, he began to build quite the reputation for himself as trustworthy, dependable, and able to get certain takes done that others would have struggled with, either morally or politically. It was a short matter of time before he became known as one of the preeminent fixers in the realm, and was sought out by many. Through this, his knowledge of the goings on of the world became vast, unlocking for him a wide array of informants and contacts in every corner of the world, and he used it to amass a considerable fortune of his own, using some of that capital to found the Stapleton Investigative Services , an organization that held no allegiance but to the truth and to its own. His cultural heritage allowed him a great deal of license to come and go and work with whomever he pleased, drawing very little attention in any light but positive for a time, but as the tensions between the Becht Empire and the Seanchaisians escalated, his dealings with them, and his long standing friendship with the Royal family if the Isle of Seanchai began to draw suspicion and even contempt from the house of Daimus. Stapleton remained undeterred, holding to his standards for truth and neutrality.
He and his team's investigative work began to unravel the conspiracy that had leveled itself against the Sovereign and the Seanachaisians over a series of strange occurrences and happenings within the Empire, and while Stapleton himself had a great deal of insight, it seems his hands were tied without definitive proof of the conspirators involvement and overarching plans. It was not until a direct move against Queen Bridgid Íonachta was made that he was able to order his team into action, leading to a daring rescue and escape aboard the infamous Fettered Cloud. It was aboard that craft that they tried to get the Queen and her daughter, Phoebe Íonachta to safety, but were unable to escape the initial impact of the Blight, and perished in the crash that followed.
