Lord Vladek Verilus

== Summary ==
Lord Vladek is one of Morcia's greatest enemies. He fought against King Matthias's army for long years desiring the throne of Morcia. When thedude arrived in Militiregnum, Vladek seized the opportunity and aligned himself with him, offering whatever was left of his army to add to thedude's army of Paradox Rogues and Red Mythrans, hoping that this alliance would finally lead him to success. In the end, it turned out he was right, for together with thedude they managed to take over Matthias's castle and consequently defeat whatever resistance was left (in the form of the Knights of the Olde Speech). This led to thedude's fifteen-year reign of Morcia (and other lands). Vladek remained thedude's henchman and advisor during that time.

=== QUOTES: ===
"There were many types of kings. There were the ones who were very good strategists, always doing well in military affairs and such. There were kings who strived on the financial field.  There were even tyrants, cruel, but effective. Matthias was none of these. He was mediocre, mellow-tempered and
one of those stupid people-lovers who thought that they should do their best to serve their people. He was not fit for a King. Vladek, on the other hand, was much better."-Vladek's thought process during the funeral of King Marcus III
