Chryses of Xilos

The bastard son of Archon Athanasios of Xilos born to an unknown Human mother, whom historians agree was likely a castle servant; Chryses was secreted away to be raised in the relative comfort afforded to Demialtarae during the reign of the Mystrae Primacists in the Altarae Archonate. However, he still suffered many injustices as a youth due to his unknown parentage, and came to resent the Archonate, eventually joining the rebellion against it. In working with the rebellion, however, his inherited penchant for magic eventually exposed his true parentage; causing a schism in the rebellion between those who believed the Archonate needed to be destroyed entirely, and those who believed it could be reformed by installing Chryses as a new, non-primacist monarch. The latter side eventually won, and engaged a long campaign of guerilla operations to weaken the position of Athanasios and the other primacists. 
Eventually, the rebellion was successful, and Chryses was able to challenge his father to an arcane duel for the throne, in which he triumphed. The newly crowned Chryses immediately began to see his promises through, striking down laws that discriminated against non-elven citizens of the Archonate, and drafting a plan to separate the Archonate and Court of Winter. This new golden era was cut short by the assassination of Chryses' fiance, Syntyche the Blessed, causing him to retreat from public life and slow the progress of his plans for the Archonate. Soon after, the Cataclysm would occur, destroying the Archonate and seeing Chryses become the Hadean aspect Imperator.
