“The commoners need strong leaders to protect them—and to do what must be done even when it is distasteful. ” — Dagult Silverhearth
A capable and inspiring leader who is known to be both brave and stately in the face of opposition. He outwardly embodies the ideals of moderation, honesty, and responsibility. He always acts decisively and firmly, with a clear-eyed view of the costs and sacrifices that his decisions entailed, although his cunning and brutal pragmatism has earned him the nickname “Dagger” Silverhearth. He is also ambitious, proud, manipulative, and considered himself to be superior to everyone else—which makes him overconfident—and his quick temper is known to interfere with his judgment, making him boisterous and dangerous. However, his charisma, affability, flair for diplomacy, eloquence, and a general preference for straight dealings rather than intrigue all meant that people consider him easy to like, and he made a point of befriending nearly everyone he met.
While he does have Reyaan’s best interests at heart, he frequently attempts to personally profit from the people’s good fortune. In private, he is often disrespectful to his subordinates, although he is always diplomatic in public. He admires wit and strength in others, and he expects and rewards order and discipline.
While he take his role at King of Reyaan seriously, he has little interest in the day-to-day operations of his government, and delegates these tasks. Whenever something goes wrong, he is quick to pin the blame on one of his subordinates, and then try to position himself as a champion of the people as he made an example of that subordinate.
