Grand Duke Atrophus Maron

Atrophus Maron is the current Grand Duke of the Duchies of Lybeck and Everdim. He is a member of House Maron, the house which has been leading Lybeck for over one hundred years. Atrophus Maron was the one who commissioned Lysanthir Brightshield to assist the party in the crypt of Yaroslav and also the one who rewarded the party.

He has been relativity essential to the party's ability to function, providing them with information and asking them to complete tasks occasionally.

He is also considered the most powerful vassal of King Ale, as he holds the most military power in the kingdom (behind the king), thus some of the other dukes envy his position.

Personality
Atrophus is a clam and confidant leader and has remained distinguished and poised when in the presence of the party. He is congenial and has been shown to be rather helpful towards the party in terms of facilitating their investigation of Yorileth and the ravings of Icus the Necromancer.

Appearance
He is a human man of 51 years. He is rather tall with sharp features and usually found with a rather neutral expression on his face. He has close cropped hair that is beginning to grey and remains clean shaven.
