Lord Vencel Mourncrest - The Noble
"Power is not inherited. It is remembered. And I have not forgotten what waits below."
Name: Lord Vencel Mourncrest
Race: Human (Veridyan)
Class/Role: Level 8 Warlock (Pact of the Chain – Great Old One)
Appearance: Vencel is lean and elegant, his presence refined but unnerving. Pale skin contrasts with shoulder-length ink-black hair streaked with silver, and his dark violet eyes never blink quite when they should. He wears velvet and obsidian-threaded formalwear, tailored in Duskhaven’s finest style — always adorned with an antique mourning brooch. His voice is smooth, confident, and hollowed by secrets. A strange silver ring glows subtly when he speaks in languages long forgotten.
Backstory
The Mourncrest family ruled Duskhaven’s western estates for generations, their crest a weeping willow over black waters. When Vencel's father went mad — raving about "the dream beneath the soil" — Vencel buried the scandal with gold and silence. In truth, his bloodline has long maintained an ancient pact with a Great Old One slumbering beneath the hills of Duskhaven, and Vencel has fully embraced it. He poses as a civic-minded noble, but secretly manipulates the court and local economy to prepare for a reawakening… and a reclamation of ancestral power.
