King Alfonso de Borgiac

King of Sairland

Bio:
King Alfonso is fifty five-year-old scion of an old but weak human family. Nobody’s first pick for the throne, Alfonso came to power 12 years ago as a compromise candidate that all factions hoped to manipulate. Seen as weak willed and indecisive, Alfonso’s rule has been marked by struggles between the real power brokers in the Closed Council. For the most part, Alfonso is content to let the Closed Council do most of the actual ruling, choosing to focus on the more ceremonial parts of the Monarchy. Alfonso particularly enjoys knighting heroes, hosting galas, and presiding over the yearly offerings to the gods. Occasionally a council member can convince him to personally make a ruling one way or another on an important matter. This is usually seen as a large victory for the persuader’s faction and starts furious new scheming and plotting from those not currently in favor.
