Grand Master of Erdeja

The Grand Master of Erdeja is known as the “Vice Mongrel”. This unhealthily obese man has 9 wives and 25 children (of those known), with presumably many more on their way. He is the poorest of the Tradelords and most despicable. Unlike the other Tradelords that seldom trade live specimens, the Vice Mongrel exclusively trades slaves. Many are just older than 6 years of age before they are taken in by the Grand Master’s servants. He recruits only the most savage and vile of individuals. He was known to have hired serial rapists and murderers to capture his beloved slaves. His recruits are told that they can have their way with what they capture before selling them off. Many orphans have been known to be born under his rule because of this. Also, his recruits actively torture slaves in hopes they reveal any hidden family heirlooms and treasure tucked away.

He owns five luscious mansions trimmed with gold and filled with whores ready to provide pleasure to the Grand Master. Few who have tried to escape this cruel task have described his masochistic tendencies and his lust for children. For this reason he is the lowest of the low and has shown that he is not ashamed as he has not denied any such claims. He is known to indulge in massive feasts of pheasant, whale and turkey and often throws away his food in front of his waiters to mock them. He is an outright hater of the Theocracy of Angelsk since he is anti-X-religion and believes he ascended through Divine Right of King. The Vice Mongrel is a very stubborn man and even refused the help of the Grand Steward during the Great Rebellion.

He has monopolised the trade of slaves and people to the point where no others dare attempt it under his watchful eye. He gathers the unsuspecting victims from anywhere and everywhere, reportedly having even sold his 4th wife, Igrid Silverkin, into slavery for the mere price of a goblet of Mermadon wine. He shows no remorse, no mercy and shockingly no regret in anything he does. It is believed that he used to be a pirate that ravaged Mauhur and Cahryst long ago before ascending to Tradelord. He appeared to have used his connections and blackmail to amass his fortune. His prior accountant, in an attempt to expose him, showed his vast dealings with the Black Hand Federation and even his purchase for construction of Lamashtu shrines in with his five mansions. This further added to the controversy surrounding the Vice Mongrel. The rumours that he kept most of his money instead of investing in his land were true. Poverty has plagued his land alongside many slums and even more discontent faces. Mermadon historians all agree that the Great Rebellion started in his lands and directly due to his lack of interest for his citizens.
