Kingpin of Torchline
Region: Torchline
Guild: The Grey Road
Alignment: Chaotic Evil or Lawful Evil
Race: Attuned, Level 5
Concept
Torchline does not stay empty for long.
With Jack Barclay gone, the criminal underbelly of the region has shifted—and this character has risen to fill the space left behind. Whether through intimidation, clever negotiation, or sheer ruthlessness, they have become a known figure within Torchline’s shadow economy.
They are not a rumour. They are not subtle to those who know what to look for. The government knows their name. Long-term residents recognise them. And whether they are attempting to formalise their operations through a deal with Flora or simply daring her to stop them is up to you!
