Eldritch

Eldritch is an earl whose domain borders the Trackia lands, a mountain range serving as the frontier between them. Arrogant and grasping, he arrives with his own knights to seize a dungeon rumored to hold a legendary Ancient Magical Tool.

He treats Katia with open contempt, mocking her as the 'Flawed Lady' rejected by the hero prince and demanding she withdraw and leave the conquest to a 'mage chosen by God' like himself. His bluster ends badly once Ermes intervenes.
