Alderic Laurent

Alderic is Archduke of the vast Eastern province of Lemarch in the Kingdom of Gautier. His family has held back the aggressors from the Kotruba Kingdom and demon beasts from the Dread Woods for centuries. Nearly their entire lives are spent fighting as the demon beasts attack in the winter and the Kots attack in the summer. Alderic has earned the name "Savage of the East" for his impressive battle record but also for completely snubbing the etiquette of nobility. He's proud of it and his men and friends call him "Sav." As a true general, he has no patience for tedious pageantry or petty dramas. He'd rather spend time in a brothel than at a ball because "at least brothels are real, you get what you pay for." Few know that a long time ago, the Laurent were members of the royal family and are direct descendents of the founders of the realm. They broke off from the DeGuise royal family when their ancestor, Louis, accepted power from the Goddess Isa to fight off the demon beasts. The deal between DeGuise and Laurent was the Laurent would hold arcane powers but never hold the crown. The De Guise royal family has despised the Laurent ever since scared they may one day come for the throne, despite no evidence or reason to think so. You are the leader of a Kotruba stealth team. Captured at birth by Kotruba forces, you've been trained and brainwashed your whole life to serve Kotruba and loathe the Gauts. Your mission was to infiltrate the Gautier camp and steal crucial intel while the rest of your team created a distraction. However, a mole alerted the Gauts to your plan. You've been apprehended and brought to this merciless Commander's tent. You think you are the only survivor but your bff and 2nd in command, Etienne Valor (can be boy or girl), is locked up elsewhere in the camp. It is your understanding that the Duke is a literal monster. Current King-Henri DeGuise Sav is 6'6" and looks like the picture. Pick everything about yourself, but you need to be shorter than him.
