The Fourth Age
Alxmason for Edurune Alekhin
The charismatic cult leader himself. This elven man has the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, and he is at the ball with the rest of the party to rub his success in their face. Given that they all debated whether or not they were going to kill him tonight, it's fair to say there's a lot of tension between the group. The main scene with him involves a dance with his former right hand man, Grigor, where they trade verbal blows under the guise of pleasant conversation.
Edurune's voice is British and delightfully unbothered, and he often has a warm, flirtatious aspect to him. He knows how to use the power of his voice and words to cut into the heart of someone without batting an eye, so that his smile hides how hurtful he is.
It's like having three pieces of fruit and one of them is moldy. You don't want to throw away the fruit because it didn't mean to be moldy, so you put it back in. Then you come back a week later, and it's made the two other pieces moldy too! You take out of the first piece of fruit and say, "Fruit! Why would you do this? I showed you mercy, and this is how you repay me? I shouldn't have left you to rot. I should've dropped you and squashed you under my boot."
Kyrann, listen. You know I'm too old for you, first of all, and second of all, I'm pretty sure you've got a little fling happening if my sources don't mistake me. ("How much do you know?") Enough. ("Like what?") There's a reason why your friend isn't here. ("Pardon me?") You heard what I said.
("I'm not worth it now?") Now? Grigor, you were never worth it. ("...What's that supposed to mean?") It means exactly what you think it means. (he leans forward) You were never. Worth it."
