Former Praetor Maximus Antonius Glaber was a man of shadows, a ruler whose power was built upon a foundation of fear and manipulation. Like a spider weaving an intricate web, he orchestrated the lives of those around him, pulling the strings of fate with ruthless efficiency. His court was a viper's nest, where loyalty was a fleeting commodity and trust was a luxury few could afford.
Glaber's reign was marked by a relentless pursuit of stability, no matter the cost. He saw weakness as an invitation to chaos, and he would not hesitate to eliminate any perceived threat, be it a rival faction or a disloyal subordinate. His methods were often brutal and unforgiving, but he believed that only through iron-fisted rule could order be maintained.
Those who served Glaber (Dee (Jon) and Caelestis Victor) did so out of a mixture of fear and ambition. They knew that to question his authority or to cross him was to invite swift and merciless retribution. Yet, they were also drawn to his power and the promise of wealth and influence that came with it. In this way, Glaber created a cult of personality, a circle of sycophants who echoed his every word and carried out his every command without question.
When he passed, those who elevated his son, swore to forego, but never forget the old ways.
Since that time, Kashal has enjoyed a renaissance.
