Sortinous Bael

A former noble whose family has been eliminated for suspected (but not confirmed) dark magic practices. His home was left in ruin and he the sole survivor of his family, now Count Bael, nicknamed the Lord of Ruin. He travels the world in search of artifacts and tomes both new to him and some that once belonged to his family. His dark secret, though, constantly looms over him and everything he does, sealed away behind his stony exterior and bright charm to those around him.
