Marcus Serpimus

Marcus Serpimus is an aging former member of the Avenan Council of Regents. He is also an intiate of the Order of Illumination, and now a trusted advisor to the new Emperor. He was rescued from the collapse of the Anenanhma caer and a Finger assassination squad by the heroes of Anglesey. He was born into a wealthy merchant family, and became a member of the Council of Regents fairly early in his career. As a result of his placement on the Council, he was one of the only members of the Order of Illumination to discover the identity of the Worm that Walks, and the corruption permeating the council. Thanks to his rescue from Avenanhma, the Empire gained its first and most important clue that the Council of Regents was under the sway of something far worse than mere greed.
