Imam Pringle IV

Imam Pringle IV is a fallen noble from the previously aristocratic House Geidi. The Imam is a scholar-mystic and a famous general, responsible for commanding the militiaries during the famous one-hundred-and-twelve victories of House Geidi during the golden years of of the Janishah Empire, west of Rathnir. He has sworn allegiance to the Free States of Tortuga and serves as a council member, diplomat, and general in the Archduchy of Lora.

Early Life and Background
Pringle IV was the youngest son of the Bashar of House Geidi, and enjoyed considerable influence at court. He was among the closest friends of the sixth Topaz Emperor, the Janishah Hieronymous XII, who sat on the Lapis Throne just before the collapse of the empire. House Geidi's bodyguards, shock troops who had sworn their life to Pringle IV escorted him out of the Janishah Empire following an invasion by the Balerians, sacrificing themselves along the way. Along the way, Pringle IV would suffer a blow to the head, becoming comatose.

He would awake in Rathnir next to the corpse of his last bodyguard, on a remote and destroyed castle on a bleak island known to its former inhabitants as the Isle of Man (located in southwestern Bardonia). Wandering around the several deserted keeps and castles in the surrounding area, the once noble Imam would survive off the scraps left behind in abandoned chests, making his way slowly across the length and breadth of Rathnir to Tortuga, a kingdom that he had heard stories of as a boy living far away from Rathnir. Upon arriving, he was welcomed and given asylum by the Archduchy of Lora, and would become a diplomat for Lora to other nations, as well as a general in the armies.
