Isadore Juillard

== Overview ==
Isadore Juillard was a male member of House Juillard of the Chaestlands and Senior Advisor to the King of the Continent between 176 AG and 202 AG on the Royal Council; during his tenure of 26 years serving three Kings - Rickon II, Hellius and Barren II. Isadore had a wife, Clarice, and two sons, Antoni and Stefon, the former of whom died fighting during the Uprootings. Juillard was a man of poor health (which he kept secret throughout his career) and suffered greatly due to stress towards the end of his life in 202 AG.
While understated by presence and subsequent history, his role in the conflict is one of significance. Generally perceived to be a sycophant and enabler to King Barren II, he however held a strong influence over the young king - to whom he was considered a guide and personal confidant. Juillard was instrumental in the prelude to the Uprootings, being a strong advocate for Duke Harolde Silversmith's counsel relating to Barren's dissatisfaction with the Floralys Agreement, which stipulated an emancipation of the kingdom of Helmont's trade prospects. He often went out of his way to see to it that any conflict during his tenure as senior advisor was ended swiftly by any means necessary, lending him to a reputation of a warmonger among the inner circles of the Grenthyx Dynasty.
After failing to evacuate the Capital following the Battle for the Capital during the Uprootings, Isadore died via execution thanks to a sudden prison breakout during the Capital's occupation by the Fellowship. Ironically, due to his unexpected demise, he never had to face the consequences of his actions and even posthumously received very little blame for the horrors of the war, besides when notable scholar and Patriarch of Helmont Forkoux Fyth explored the extent of Juillard's supposed liability in forging the King's more infamous decisions during the Uprootings in his scrolls "King Barren II - The Troubled Grenthyx" (205 AG), "Reflections on the Uprootings of 200-202 AG" (218 AG) and "The Grenthyx Dynasty - Assessed" (243 AG).Category:Characters
