Victorus

Victorus is the king of Astor. While he has the appearance of a 10 year-old child, he has held the position of king for over 200 years.

The officially given reason for Victorus' longevity is that he has been blessed by the gods and given eternal youth. Victorus' father ensured this was a widespread belief before his death.

Possession and True Identity
The real reason for Victorus' eternal youthfulness is that the body is possessed by a faerie.

Victorus died when he was two years old. His father, Thactorus, approached the Cult of Skarg and demanded that they resurrect him. However, unbeknownst to the father, the Cult animated the child's corpse using the soul of a faerie child named Malkator. Malkator was given the mission by the First Faerie of finding the Whisper, a powerful artifact that was lost from the Rue during the Chaining.

Malkator, acting through Victorus' animated corpse, is currently using his position as king of Astor to track down the Whisper.

Policy
Victorus acts very imperialistically, prioritizing expanding the reaches of Astor.

One exception to this is his treatment of the elves. As Victorus sees the elves as kin of the faeries, his policies are generally accepting of them and their territory.

Personality
Victorus is a recluse. He often meets with a small team of representatives, whom he sends out to participate in running the kingdom.

When Victorus does venture out of his offices, he demands very fine ceremonies and indulgences. Only raw food is served at his banquets.
