>>5853198>Hermann Bell, a man whose ambition is unbounded. Son of a distiller, you snuck your way into the library to learn what you could and try to educate yourself, and eventually found a book written by a man called Machiavelli. Upon reading that and several other books, you blackmailed a dreadguard into taking you as an apprentice and had been weaving a web of intrigues ever since. You were the first to realize the former Warlord wasn’t long for this world, and decided to take advantage before someone else could; you poisoned him and then proceeded to challenge him, winning handily. (You are a master at intrigue and reading people. You have a solid grasp on governing, having read up in anticipation for your takeover. You hold little respect from most people, but your web of intrigue and friendships, true or false, holds them at bay. As well, your web of informants stretches far and wide, even into other houses.)But change his surname to House because the House always wins baby.
