Uan Iscosqul
Gran Magnus
Uan Iscosqul is the current Gran Magnus of Gran Magna Cir'cori. Tall, skinny, and with a preference for black clothing, Iscosqul puts one in mind of a predatory flamingo.
As the tyrant of the largest, most cosmopolitan, and most unruly city in the Nineward Coalition, Iscosqul is under an enormous amount of pressure. Indeed, the stress of being an autocrat under such conditions has broken the psyche of pretty much every previous Gran Magnus to date, causing the position to be seen as somewhat of a sacrificial lamb and giving it the informal name "Mad Lord." However, Iscosqul has proven to have an incredibly sharp mind, an unnerving insight into the collective minds of his citizens, and exactly the right temperament to govern the city with calm, confidence, a remarkable lack of violence, and only minor abuses of power that the people of Gran Magna Cir'cori generally see as acceptable quirks.
This, of course, makes the other authority figures in the city extremely suspicious, but the Mad Lord has so far fended off all threats to his governance with an ease reminiscent of a cage fighter knocking over a five-year old with an inner-ear problem. He has quite skillfully manuvered things so that the people of the city and his potential rivals to power judge that the city without him would be worse than the city with him, so on top of the pile he stays. It is also believed by the guild leaders that the grassroots movements opposing his rule have actually been organized by him, and they have been structured in such a way that they constantly bicker with each other and never get anything done.
It is generally agreed upon by the citizenry that very little happens in the city that he does not know about. Thus, when you stand in audience before the Gran Magnus, be assured that Iscosqul knows exactly why you are there, even if you do not.
