Matias Rios

Baron Matias Rios, former head of the minor Rios noble house, cultivated his position in Carmina's political game through shrewd deals and his own martial prowess. Though his body was frail of constitution, the man was a martial artist of no small skill - he was a master of the well-known Shadow Hand and Setting Sun martial disciplines, as well as the formerly rare and underestimated Lor Tur discipline Dancing Leaf. With his martial ability, he handily won many tournaments sponsored by the other noble families.
Somehow, Baron Rios became involved with the royal family, and though the two were never wed, he had a daughter with Empress Drakos -- Dolce Drakos, the Heir of Carmina. The most persistent rumor explaining his relationship with the Empress is that he saved her life from an assassin, but no evidence has been found to support this claim, and the Empress is clearly capable of taking care of herself.
Baron Rios passed away in his sleep on 1/0/1000 from influenza complications.
