Caradoc Rookwood

The Right Honorable Count Caradoc Rookwood is an industrialist and the Patriarch of the House of Rookwood in 1086AE. He is the Member of Parliament for Shadowwatch and Shadowwood West, and a central member of the Aradian Industrialist Worker's Party. He is also the head of Blackthorne-Rookwood industries, a vastly powerful coglomerate corporation that holds stakes in a number of emerging industries such as fossil fuels, firearms, media and rail. These positions of power has amassed him a vast personal fortune and his admirers call him the "Richest Man Alive." Few others, rare detractors, know of the dark and underhanded machinations through which he acquired this fortune, and they call him "Puppetmaster,"
Caradoc married Crown-Princess Valoria Blackthorne in 1052AE at the end of the Pirate War, following a long flirtation between them that had been ongoing since they were both children. Through her he has one son, the evil "Dark Prince" Edmund Blackthorne. He also had two siblings; Talia, the "Pale Raven," died in 1070AE fighting in the Brecilidian Rebellion, and Wolfgang went 5 years later as part of the Red Death. Through the latter he has a nephew named Klaus Rookwood and a niece named Sofia Rookwood. As Caradoc's son has been missing for years, he has promised the inheritance of his companies and fortune to either Klaus or Sofi, and delights in playing them against each other, while dodging his venomous ex-wife. Through his work he keeps a close but combative relationship to Prime Minister Fabian Moon, and a friendship with one with his fellow Industrialists Odysseus Knox.
In 1086AE, Caradoc rarely takes either his seat in parliament or his seat in his office, and spends most of his time sailing the Sorrows in his enormous pleasure Yacht with a handful of young elven concubines. He is known to keep a close eye on affairs, however, and often acts to influence events through surrogates and servants.

Caradoc's monopolistic control of industry resembles that of real life figure John D Rockefeller, but is more influenced by modern-day American and Russian Oligarchs including Elon Musk and Roman Abramovich.
