Hiram Roze

An oddly aggressive man, and one of the founders of The Lyriad.

He lead the Lyriad in Saloria, acting as the city's mayor. He was old friends with Linea and Samson. Despite this, he attacked Minerva, drugging her with ale laced with truth serum despite them being of the same faction.

When the Children fought back to protect Minerva, he disappeared to a private shelter from a glyph hidden on his couch. There he revealed a well-armored group of soldiers at his beck and call. He explained that he was suspicious of the wellspring's destruction and the Children's involvement in it.

Despite orcs attacking the wellspring and monsters threatening to overrun the town, Hiram never once volunteered the help of himself or his army. Given that the other members of his chapter included the Barmaid, it is clear Hiram did not screen his members well.

The Children reported his treachery to Linea, who was horrified to hear of his cult. She vowed to attack his rogue faction, believing the words of the Children immediately despite Hiram being her old and loyal friend. This would undoubtedly destabilize the small resistance group even further and spread their resources even more thin.
