Padraig "Puck" Maoilriain

Dead
Crown Prince of the Fae and Commander in Chief of the Kingsguard

The eldest son of King Oberon I Maoilriain and his former wife Titania Farnan, Padraig, known by the nickname "Puck" to his siblings and friends, was the Crown Prince of the Fae and heir apparent to the Imperial Protectorate of the Kingdom of the Faerie Isle; as heir apparent he was also the Commander in Chief of the Kingsguard. He was noted as being quite popular with the masses, as well as his half-sister Shayla Fitzreine's followers due to his being one of the few members of the Royal Family to vocally oppose her being struck from the line of succession.

He and his half-sister shared a very close relationship, despite his being considerably older than her, with him being the first noble of any station or standing to congratulate Shayla on her being given the title of Countess of T'Kashire, something that their younger brother Alroy V Maoilriain took months to do. While he has his father's compassion and oratory skills, he also has unfortunately has his stubbornness combined with his mother's temper, as shown when he threw a book at Duke Erwen de'Valice of Balla during a Council meeting he sat in on after the Duke insulted Shayla.

During Nox’s invasion, Padraig organised the Fae fishing fleet to evacuate Tiran civilians from Réiltín's Dynamo Beach. His father had seen no need to intervene, but Padraig acted against his orders to bring the refugees to safety. Padraig rushed to the beaches where the evacuation boats were expected to land, taking the Kingsguard with him. There he spent time giving speeches. Undead followed the boats across the sea and began coming ashore, and the Kingsguard broke and fled. Padraig was killed on the receiving beaches fighting a Death Knight, but managed to also kill it as it killed him. His mobilisation of the fishing fleet had brought help to the Tiran civilians, but the defence of their landing place collapsed around him.
