Lord Melchior Greyblight III

Written by Agent Serro

As a small child his wealthy and influential parents were always traveling to far off kingdoms with urgent missions for the Empire. To keep himself amused while they were away, Melchior would play a little game with small animals, seeing how long he could keep them alive while ever so intricately removing their skin. Starting soon after being able to walk his game was not discovered until the age of 8, when a servant accidently stumbled across the hidden room he would use. This servant quickly became the first humanoid plaything for Melchior. Forcing her to write a letter stating that she was leaving due to a family emergency and would not be returning. Melchior spent weeks with his new plaything until finally she died of fear and the most extreme pain. During those weeks Melchior felt such intense pleasure and joy that he never went back to small animals, from that point on he focused on humanoids.
At age 12, his dear brother passed away by 'accidental' death, involving his brother tripping and then falling into a large nest of acid ants as Melchior stood by watching with an amused grin. This was officially declared an accidental death by officials.
At age 15, his dear sister went missing, involving his sister being kidnapped by members of the black moon syndicate. She was cruelly tortured while being asked if she would marry her brother. She or her remains were never found with no one ever knowing of the questioning. Official statement was the girl being kidnapped for ransom but was never heard from again
At age 16, his dear family signed over all rights and ownership to the family inheritance to Melchior explaining that it was time for them to retire. This came to a great surprise to some but was understandable with all the misfortune that has fallen upon them over the past 16 years. Days later as his parents were on a cruise ship, lamp oil accidentally was spilled with a faulty lock on the outer door failing to open… 64 people burned to death on the cursed night. Once again, officials ruled this as 'accidental'
At age 18, Melchior was legally pronounced ‘Lord’ in title and all legal rights during a huge celebration in Talsworth. He soon set out acquiring more power and wealth all while others thought of him as being a saint. He quickly amassed great influence among the political arena of Talsworth making him a very powerful figure indeed regardless of his young age.
Now at the age of 25, he has become one of the top ten most powerful figures in the region. Never stopping and always acquiring more wealth and power almost daily. He is just now learning of the warden watch as the recruits have recently interfered in some of his side projects. Finding this to be an irritating nuisance, he has already acquired information on them thanks to one of his inspectors on his payroll that went there under false pretenses of a building inspection.
During his 25 years of existence, he has been secretly responsible for countless people going missing and never being found. Including orphans, women, humans and non-humans alike. In deep secret he hired a dwarven team to come into his mansion and built a second basement level under the normal basement. Right after it was finished being built, he had the dwarves tied and buried under the floor alive just to make sure his playroom was kept secret. Within this secret lair he has different large playrooms set up for his amusement, each room being of a different style, different ways of torturing and fitting whatever sadist urges he may currently be having.
Possessing a genius level of intelligence, his perception of reality differs in all ways than that of normal people. Born without any conscience whatsoever, he quickly learned to mimic the behavior of others to his advantage to always get exactly what he wants. Those that know of him will quickly tell tales of this sweet innocent young man who is responsible for such great deeds of helping those in need. Those that are closer to him, know that if a single word is ever repeated, they would quickly find themselves in one of his many playrooms. Having the mental capacity to forge himself an alter ego for public appearances helps make it even easier to always obtain what he wants. Due to this, he is highly capable of saying whatever he desires without worry of his lies ever being detected.
Melchior is of the highest intelligence, born psychopath and embracing it without hesitation to fully take the greatest pleasures that it offers. He is well connected with the Black Moon Syndicate, has strong connections in the Imperial Military including black ops and intelligence. He has insured the majority of the politicians vote in his favor through bribes, threats and blackmail. He is smart enough to never get caught, never to leave evidence and to kill any that may find out his dark little secrets but if it ever did come to light, he would never even be arrested in the first place due to his connections making him completely untouchable.
His views of anyone under him to be that of insects and nothing more, he may uphold his sweet personality in the public eye but behind the scenes he kills, maims, tortures for the simple reason that it gives him pleasure. The last few years he has been working on a plan to promote his title higher than Lord but now new people to this region are starting to interfere with his plans while helping others. When he first heard of the news, the person that delivered the information was slowly skinned alive where it took over 2 weeks for the messenger to finally die, Melchior was not happy with the news of the wardens watch and his eyes have been set on them ever since, which was months ago.
