The Marquis Rekyavik Locatus
City Elder and Grand Architect of Cauldron
Male Human Aristocrat 7
The Marquis Locatus is the chief city planer of Cauldron. This title has remained in his family for over two hundred years. He has spent his life developing his expertise with the structural peculiarities of maintaining a city built inside of a dormant volcano, above vast caverns that stretch deep into the world below, and out of the unique rock of the area, volcanic or otherwise. All new construction must pass through his office for approval. He lives in a stunning manor on the Southwest bend of Obsidian avenue built from exotic varieties of stone that most Cauldronites do not recognize (Knowledge (Stonemasonry) DC 20). He lives there with his wife Liduvina (Ari 2) and Daughter Chrysolia (Ari 1). His main office is two doors down from the Town Hall on Obsidian Avenue which he rarely visits. The Marquis is constantly working on projects but on ones that fire his imagination. If there is a major architectural project in the city he is on the site every day conferring with even the lowliest stonecutter. If there are only commonplace enterprises in the city he invents a more stimulating way to spend his time, usually visiting quarries and researching innovating building techniques. The more mundane tasks of his office are overseen by his son Renald Locatus (Ari 3/Exp 2) the Officer of Plans, and his Dwarven Construction Chief Ord Slatemaster (Exp 4).

EDIT: Sorry I didn't do alot of proofing. I am using him in a side quest where he is being escorted back to Cauldron, with his wife and daughter, and they are gonna be waylaid by a troop of those new bugbear minis and a Formorian Huge pull. I gotta find a way to use all these minis I have.
oh yeah, so I'm reading Istivin now and the main character there is a marquis.
so it's like I'm biteing off them
I'm changing all uses of the word "Marquis" to "Viscount"
Viscount Rekyavik Locatus

Good write-up. So how does this character figure into your campaign? How are the PC's likely to interact with him?
