How should I play Drelev?

[Lee Hanna]

My campaign has gone off the rails long ago, which is fine. In my sandbox, the rulers are going to do some exploring/excavating (with permission) in the hills beyond Drelev's turf. I think he should want to accompany them.

Has anyone done some role-playing with Lord Drelev? Any suggestions how to play to his strengths?

I played him as an evil Thurston Howell. Looks down on the PCs due to their lack of pedigree, oblivious to the fact he's outmanoeuvred by Pitax, powerless against the barbarians and heedless of the people he's supposed to represent.

Drelev was a character my PCs really hated. I played his wife like Mallory Archer.

Wow, just might do that.

I wanted them to underestimate his wit and power so I played him like a drunken courtier, basically a slightly evil Cayden Caledin. High sense motive rolls would revela he wasn't intoxicated ect.
